Ingredients:
iAMA Castor Oil: 10 drops
Honey: 1 tablespoon
Directions:
- In a small bowl or pot combine your iAMA castor oil and honey. Mix the ingredients together until they are well-blended and you have a smooth, spreadable consistency.
- Cleanse your face and pat it dry.
- Using your fingers or a clean makeup brush, apply the castor oil and honey mask evenly over your face, avoiding the delicate eye area.
- Allow the mask to sit on your skin for 15-20 minutes. You may feel a slight tingling sensation, which is normal.
- Rinse the mask off with warm water, using a soft washcloth if needed to gently remove any remaining residue.
- Pat your skin dry and follow up with a couple of drops of iAMA castor oil
How Often?
Use this face mask 1-2 times per week for 4 weeks for glowing results.
Why it works:
- The combination of castor oil and honey provides deeply nourishing and moisturizing benefits for the skin.
- Castor oil is rich in ricinoleic acid and other beneficial fatty acids that naturally improve skin hydration
- Honey is a natural humectant that can soothe and soften the complexion.
For the geek in you:
- The key properties of humectants include moisture attraction and retention
- Humectants are hygroscopic, meaning they can draw water from the environment (the air) into the skin or hair. This helps to hydrate and plump up the skin/hair.
- Humectants work to hold onto that absorbed moisture, preventing it from evaporating too quickly. This helps to maintain hydration levels.
