Blueberry Milk Mask


This summer heat can really take a toll on your skin causing a crave for moisture.  Stress and a lack of sleep can also drain the rosiness from your cheeks.  As for myself, I've had a week of sleepless nights and tearful days in the midst of this summer heat in the south.
I have never been the one to cry my eyes out, however when a real tragedy strikes, it effects you in ways you never would imagine.
After a week, I looked in the mirror and my face looked old & I am only 28!  What it needed was a a little pick me up, so I did a little alteration of my #1 Milk Cleanser.

I used the recipe below and I took out enough for one application and stored the rest in fridge for later.  For today's application I added about a teaspoon of honey, a little vitamin e and about a handful of squashed blueberries.
I smoothed it over my entire face and laid back on the couch for about 10 minutes then washed it off with slightly warm water.  My skin was immediately refreshed and my color returned.  This also helped with those awful dark circles under my eyes.
This is such a quick and easy way to cleanse, detoxify and soften your delicate skin as well as bring back your rosiness again.  It's nothing fancy, very cheap and really is a spa treatment in the comfort of your home!
