Anyhoozle, I've been swimming a lot lately which has taken its toll on my skin. I've therefore had to search high and low for natural remedies to restore the ph of my skin and undo the damage the chlorine has done. So, here is a face mask I found that restores the natural ph of my face and moisturises it to combat the drying and stripping effects of the pool. So, here we are!
1 egg
1 tbsp honey
1 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar
-Seperate the egg, yoke in one bowl and whites in another.
-Whisk the egg whites until they're frothy. This will make it easier to apply the mask later
-Add honey and vinegar to the yoke, mixing until combined.
-Add the yoke mixture to the egg whites, stirring constantly until combined.
-Apply mixture to face. You can use a make-up brush, the back of a spoon, or I just used my fingers 'cos I'm lazy. Allow to dry for about 10-15 minutes, but you'll know when it's dry because you won't be able to move your face because it will be so tight. This is normal!!
-Wash off gently. It will be kind of hard to get off, but whatever you do don't scrub as this will just make your face red and blotchy and undo all your hard work.
Et Voilá! Your face should feel maaahvelous dahling. The key ingredient here is the vinegar to restore the ph(which is very important, trust me). But you can't exactly go dipping your face in a bucket of vinegar, so you add the egg to exfoliate and the honey to moisturise. I didn't invent this mask and I don't claim to, I just wanted to share with you! This is for women AND men, clear and healthy skin is not gender sensitive!!
So there ya have it, I really hope you try this and it works for you! I also have another facial post here if you want to take a look! You can use this as often as you like as there is nothing harsh in this mask, so prep and prime 'til you're black and blue!
Enjoy looking amaaahzing,

I did this with Louise about a week and a half ago, and I had a go too- it worked wonders for Louise. She looked so radiant and revived. I think it would take a lot more ingredients for it to work on me though ;)
