Moisture Mineral Mask
Courtesy of Brook Harvey-Taylor, co-founder, Pacifica“This (facial mask) recipe is very Santa Barbara—the lavender, figs, and avocado are all very important here. At the farmers market, all of these ingredients are available almost all year.”
Ingredients
1 ripe fig, peeled
1 tbs. honey, preferably local and organic
1 tsp. avocado oil
a few drops of lavender essential oil
Preparation
Puree ingredients together and apply to face for at least 10 minutes. This will be sticky but well worth the results. Honey provides moisture and acts as a carrier for the nutrients in the fig. Avocado oil is full of skin-loving essential fatty acids. The fig will also act as a very mild AHA and will leave your skin smooth.
