Cleanse the skin
You'll want to wash the face to remove any grime or dirt. The recipe below is perfect for all skin types.

Kiwi Facial Cleanser
Ingredients
1 kiwi fruit
2 tablespoons of plain yogurt
1 tablespoon orange water
1 tablespoon apricot or almond oil
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon finely ground almonds
2 drops orange (or your favorite citrus) essential oil
Yield: Enough for one application

Puree the kiwi fruit in a food processor until liquid. During processing, add yogurt, orange water, almond or apricot oil, and ground almonds. Process until thick and cream like. Add essential and stir to mix. To apply, massage gently over neck and face to cleanse. Rinse well.

Exfoliate: Exfoliating the face removes dead skin cells leaving your face soft and smooth. The following recipe is wonderful.

Honey Almond Scrub
Ingredients
4 T Almond meal (sometimes called Almond flour)
2 T Jojoba oil
4 T Honey
5 drops of Peppermint essential oil

In a 4 oz cobalt or amber glass jar (preferably) pour in the Almond meal and Jojoba oil. Stir well. Then mix in the Honey and Peppermint essential oil. Keep stirring until the mixture is completely mixed.
Apply about a teaspoon amount of the scrub to a moistened face. Mix with water to make it a more fluid application (do not add water to the jar). Scrub the skin gently, letting the almond meal do the work (harder pressure will only damage capillaries!). Massage every square inch of skin except the delicate eye tissue. Remove with warm water. Blot dry.

Steam
Fill your sink with warm water, dip a washcloth in and press to your face. Repeat 2-3 times.

Choose the mask that suits your skin type.

Normal-Skin Mask: For normal or combination skin types.
