Honey Face Mask

I woke up this morning feeling like a simple home-spa day.  It was a full week, and happily so, finished off by an all-day conference downtown yesterday.  Now that I've got all sorts of professional inspiration to bring into next week, it's time to unwind and recharge.  So after my yoga, a bubble bath is in order, followed by an afternoon of reading and tea drinking and yes, napping. 

But before we get to the naps, I've got plans to enjoy a simple honey face mask during my spa hours.  This is literally the easiest face mask on the planet--and so good for you!  Antioxidant-rich honey is soothing and moisturizing for dry skin and does a great job of adding a natural glow to your face.  It is also antibacterial, making it great for fighting acne and unclogging pores.  Best of all, honey is gentle so it won't irritate sensitive skin.  You can even add a little cinnamon to your honey to get even more antibacterial benefits, but be careful as cinnamon can irritate sensitive skin.

Ingredients:

1-2 tablespoons organic honey

A pinch of cinnamon (optional)

Apply honey liberally to clean face and let sit for 20-30 minutes.  Rinse off with warm water and moisturize.
