Day 86: Pamper Yourself?

I am not the girliest girl out there, but every so often I like to treat myself to a facial mask. But, I always feel bad because the kind I usually get is a single serving in a foil/ plastic pouch that goes directly in the trash after my 15 minutes of pampering.

So, today I decided I was going to try a DIY homemade facial. I googled a few  different recipes and ended up going for the following one:

2 tsp plain yogurt

1/2 tsp honey

1/2 tsp lemon juice

3 Vitamin E capsules

Mix honey, yogurt and lemon juice together. Fold in the the contents of the vitamin E capsules. Apply evenly to face, leave for 15 mins and rinse off.

While I felt a bit odd wearing what seemed more like a snack gone awry on my face, I think the facial did help moisturize and replenish my skin, and I could feel a little better about it knowing that it produced no waste packaging!

Do you have any eco-friendly do it yourself skin-care items?
