Palm Oil Face Mask

Before you ask, "Palm Oil???", which has been most people's initial reaction, bear in mind there are other cooking oils we use on our skin and hair, including coconut and olive oils.

Palm oil is:
  • Rich in Vitamin E
  • A natural deep cleanser
  • A natural deep moisturiser
It is found in a lot of shampoos and moisturisers.

This mask is made up of:
  1. 2 tablespoons of palm oil
  2. 2 tablespoons of fullers earth powder/bentonite clay
  3. 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar
No water is required. Mix the contents and apply to a clean face - make sure you wipe off excess dirt or makeup before application. Leave for 15-20 minutes.

How Often? 1ce a week.

Watch:


Your skin will feel a little oily after rinsing off the mask, soak a face towel in warm water, squeeze excess water out and wipe. Repeat twice and finish with a cold water rinse. Moisturise and enjoy your skin :)

My skin felt great after this, it's definitely worth a try.

Interesting. One has to be careful not to wear a favorite t-shirt while wearing this though because of the stains from Palm Oil.

True!

I always wear 'at home' tops when I use masks, deep conditioners, etc
