About Me

My Photo
A homeschooling mother of one teenager and a little. In 2001, I resigned from my 13 year position as a case manager to homeschool my oldest who was a preschooler at the time, and later a daughter who came along in 2005. This is by far the hardest job I've ever loved. My husband of nearly 20 years supports us as a fire fighter and EMT.

Homemade Spring Facial Mask for Oily or Combination Skin


I tend to get breakouts during seasonal changes, and this mask cleared up my combination(oily in the T-zone) skin in 24 hours without over drying it. You'll need some cosmetic clay. I bought a large bag of French green clay from Mountain Rose Herbs to make my own custom facial masks.

Spring facial mask for combination or oily skin:
  • Two tablespoons cosmetic clay
  • One tablespoon molasses
  • Enough whole milk to make it thin enough to apply
Mix thoroughly, apply to face avoiding eye area, remove with warm water when dry(about 20 minutes).

The clay removes oils and toxins, and refines the pores. 

Milk has antimicrobial and cleansing properties.

Molasses has firming, softening, and exfoliating properties. It's also good as a conditioner for damaged hair.
