Clementines are becoming a rather popular item in store bought skin care items. In Whole Living, November 2011, issue they have published a clementine face and body mask. The citric acid will act like a chemical peel and sluff off the old layer of skin to reveal a healthier skin. They also note that it is an anti-inflammatory and a blemish fighter....SCORE!
So, instead of paying for these store bought brands, Mor Neroli or Skinnyskinny, make your own on the cheap :)
Ingredients:
1 Clementine
1/2 cup Ground rolled oats
3 Tbsp. of raw honey
2 tsp. of Jojoba oil
Instructions:
Peel the clementine and dispose of peel. Puree the fruit of the clementine. Put the clementine puree into a bowl and add the ground rolled oats, honey and oil. Mix together thoroughly (if you prefer a thinner variety you can add a little water) and apply to face and leave for 10 minutes. Rinse with warm water and pat dry with towel. You can use this mask once a week. Any unused portion can be stored in an air tight container for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator.
