DIY Face Mask

One of the blogs I love to follow is

Delighted Momma

She has great paleo and healthy reciepes and amazing skin care regiments.  

I thought I would try out one of her skin care recipes and see how it worked with my skin.

Its pretty easy and it smells delicious.

Original recipe found here

2 tbs of cocoa powder 

(I found I needed a little bit more to get the paste like consistency)

1 tbs of honey

1 1/2 tbs of coconut oil

mix together until you get a paste like consistency

Let sit for 15-20 minutes and rinse with warm water.  Its suggested to follow with a toner and moisturizer.  

The benefits of this mask are to:

help smooth out wrinkles (cocoa)
clear out toxins in your skin, which can make you look older (cocoa)
natural moisturizer (honey)
antiseptic and antimicrobial agent, helping with acne (coconut oil)
