Facial Recipes

I hope everyone's summer is off to an amazing start!

Here at the library, we are diving deeper into our summer activities.  Yesterday, we had our first of three "Teen Crafternoon" craft sessions and it was lots of fun!  Hunter Clayton, who is an incredibly talented young lady and will be a senior in high school next year, came and led the workshop.



I'm re-posting the recipes here so that the participants (or you, if you so choose) can recreate them.

Yogurt Honey Mask (for all skin types)

1 Tablespoon Plain Yogurt
1 Teaspoon honey

For Oily Skin, add a few drops of lime juice.
For Dry Skin, add 2 teaspoons of honey instead of one.

Leave on 15 minutes then rinse off with warm water.

Apple Facial

1/4 apple (mashed with fork)
1 teaspoon of oatmeal
1 teaspoon of honey

Leave on face until mixture dries thoroughly then rinse with warm water.

Hunter's Scrub

2 Tablespoons brown sugar
1 Tablespoon honey

Mix until it is a paste.  Leave on face for 10 minutes.  Rinse with warm water.

German Chocolate Cake Scrub

2 Tablespoons brown sugar
1 Tablespoon honey
1 Teaspoon cocoa
a sprinkle of sweetened coconut

Leave on face for 10 minutes.  Rinse with warm water.


Even the dudes had fun (and there were more than this).  I think they took the stuff home to their moms.


Our next crafternoon will be on July 6 at 2:00.  It does require you to register prior to the event and space is limited, so head on over and REGISTER!
