Marigold Face Mask

Take 1 tsp marigold flowers, 1 tsp chamomile oil, as much as is necessary. You also need 1 tsp carrots, well mashed, 1 tsp lecithin granules, and 1 tsp wheat germ oil. Bring water to a boil and pour over the marigold and chamomile flowers. Cover and set aside. Strain out the liquid from the flowers, and add them to the carrot wheat germ oil. Mix thoroughly and add the lecithin granules. If you have a blender, blend it finely.

The texture can be changed with the addition of almond oil; add a bit to make a smooth cream for dry skin; add enough almond oil to blend them. Wash your face and steam clean it. Apply a thick layer of the mask, and leave for 15 minutes. Wipe it off and rinse with warm water and then close your pores with refreshing cold-water rinse.

How to apply face packs?

Finger tips should be used to spread the pack gently over the face. It should not be applied near eyes and mouth leaving three circles on the face. Put the cotton pads soaked on cucumber/potato juice to provide relief to eyes. You should lie down while face pack dries because in this way skin will not be stretched which is being treated right then.
