But it's getting quite large so I've had to find something to do with it. Cue my google search of "homemade aloe vera face wash" and what popped up was a mask with shea butter (I have that!) and olive oil (I have that too!). Voila! A homemade face treat that I can make with my houseplant! I recommend it! It's good for dry/combination types - just what my skin needed!
Shea Butter, Olive Oil, and Aloe Vera Face Mask
- 1 tablespoon Aloe Vera gel
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin Olive Oil
- 1 tablespoon Shea Butter
Mix and mash all the ingredients in a mixing bowl, until you have a nice and smooth paste.
Spread the paste gently and equally with a facial mask brush or spatula on your clean face and neck: keep the eye area clear.
Now lie down, relax and leave the mask on for 15 minutes.
Then rinse it off with alternately warm and cold water and end with a splash of cold; pat your skin dry with a clean towel. Finally apply a moisturizer, this way you "seal" your skin to keep the water inside.
