Magical Miel Mask

Despite how much moisturiser we put on our skin or hydrating herbal teas we sip on, our skin can get dehydrated sometimes with the stripping cold weather. I have recently come to realise that the constant snowstorms have not only affected my sanity (all I see is mountains and mountains and mountains of white) but my skin doesn't seem too happy either. 

To save my skin during these harsh wintry conditions, I make a velvety concoction that I use as a gentle milk to cleanse my skin in the morning and ask a mask at night. This delectable creation takes my skincare routine to a new zenith of indulgence. I wake up to its delectable scent and am swept into sleep in its silky haze . . .

MAGICAL MIEL MASK

raw manuka honey | antibacterial • soothing • moisturising • healing  
rose absolute oil | hydrating • anti-aging • antiseptic • mild astringent
raw + organic coconut oil | ultimate moisture + antibacterial powerhouse

I will be honest: I rarely ever measure anything when I whip up this little concoction. I am deeply intuitive when I create anything +  usually don't like to measure these things out. So, feel the measurements out. I usually put in about three tablespoons of raw manuka honey [which I have written about here] per tablespoon of coconut oil and  a tiny drop of rose oil. I mix them all into a dreamy cream and pour some loving words into it. Gently scoop some out, apply liberally on your face, and tantalize your senses with its aromatherapeutic effects in the meantime. Leave it on for twenty minutes as you read, meditate, or have a dance party! Wash + glow!
