Marigold Face Mask

Being today’s woman you must be leading a very hectic life indeed and might have no time to care for your skin. But in the midst of your busy schedule you must manage to take out some time to look after your skin or your hair. The easiest and effective way by which you can treat your skin is by using natural products that are homemade. The Marigold Face Mask is one of the best of these natural homemade beauty treatment products that you can use for treating your skin.

Marigold or Calendula officinalis is used extensively for skin and hair care mostly due to its healing and softening effects. Marigold Face Mask is one of the most effective products for healing your skin. For this you need 1 T of marigold flowers, 1 T of chamomile flowers, 1 T granules of Lecithin, 1 T well-squashed carrots, ½ C of water and 1 tea spoon of wheat germ oil. These ingredients are adequate for making the face mask for 1 or 2 times. For preparing the Marigold Face Mask first boil water and then put the chamomile and marigold flowers into the water. Cover the pot on which you have boiled the water and place aside. Add the wheat germ oil into the mashed carrots and after filtering out the water from the flowers, add these to the mixture of wheat-germ oil and carrot. Mix everything well and also put into it the granules of lecithin and then add little almond oil for smoothening the cream if you have a dry skin or a bit more if you have an oily skin. Chamomile and marigold flowers heal your tissues, carrots add Vitamin A into your skin, enhance the texture of your skin, lecithin emulsifies your skin, almond oil moisturizes your skin and wheat germ oil adds the wheat germ oil into your skin.

For applying this face mask first wash your face and using a steam mixture steam clean your face. Then apply the Marigold Face Mask evenly with upward motions of your fingers and wait for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes use tissues for wiping off the mask with a cotton tissue, rinse your face with warm water first and then with cold water. Marigold Face Mask is a moisturizing one that refreshes and smoothen your skin by stimulating your muscles and facial circulation.
