Benefits:
There are numerous benefits to this face mask. If you suffer from dry skin, almonds, particularly the oil from almonds, will make your skin feel smooth and soft. Grinding the almonds into a paste makes this particularly wonderful to exfoliate dead skin cells from your face and neck, which removes impurities and oil that cause acne.
Honey is wonderful in so many ways. Not only is it delicious but it is amazing for your skin. Honey contains numerous anti-microbial properties and is a natural antioxidant. Honey fights microbial infections that cause acne without irritating your skin. This sweet goodness pulls out impurities from your pores that would normally stay clogged, festering bacteria that causes pimples. Honey will also help restore your skin’s texture and reduce damage done to your skin by the sun and daily environments you come in contact with.
Lemon juice will combat oily skin and leave your skin feeling refreshed and glowing. Try this mask today and we know you will love it. If you are allergic to nuts, avoid this recipe.
