With the out of control basil plant currently growing in my tiny apartment and the funny emails inquiring about the plant in this picture, I knew I had to find another use for all this basil besides just my pasta - add olive oitl, fresh basil, goat cheese and pine nuts (yum!). I found a basil facial mask easy to make with ingredients found in most kitchens. It was nice to take a moment, place some cucumbers over my eyes and relax to the sweet smell of orange blossom - one of six votives from Jo Malone, a holiday gift favorite.
You will need:
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
- 1/2 avocado
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp honey
What for?
- Basil has antiseptic properties along with a relaxing aroma
- Avocado hydrates the skin
- Honey locks in moisture
Blend ingredients until smooth and apply facial mask on clean skin for 20-30 minute. Rinse with tepid water and enjoy the results!
