\"\"<\/a>Facial treatments, unless part of our daily beauty routine, are often overlooked.\u00a0 Most of us barely have time to floss let alone apply a mask and put our feet up for the suggested 10-15 minutes.\u00a0 Even if we do have the time, the thought of a putting on a facial mask is not what comes to mind.<\/p>\n

Last night, as I was digging through my basket of samples and forgotten purchases I stumbled across a clay mask I was sent a few months ago, and figured \u201cwhy not?\u201d.\u00a0 After rinsing the mask off and peering at my fresh, glowing skin in the mirror, I remembered why I used to make time for these things.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Three of my favorite\u00a0safe organic facial masks:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pangea Japanese Matcha Tea Facial Mask with Acai & Goji Berry<\/a> \u2013 This super nourishing mask leaves skin bright, healthy and toned and is worth every penny.\u00a0 Use once weekly to keep skin looking radiant.\u00a0 Looks really spooky on but the end result is fabulous.\u00a0 My sensitive skin even loves this mask!\u00a0 $40<\/p>\n

Skin Apricot Berry Clay<\/a> \u2013 Mix a small amount with a tablespoon of water and spread onto face.\u00a0 Leave for 10 minutes or so and rinse off with warm water.\u00a0 My skin was happy and looked great after using this mask.\u00a0 $14.95<\/p>\n

Organic Apoteke Rejuvenating Face Mask<\/a> \u2013 Said to give your skin the same circulation as a 5 mile run.\u00a0 Detoxifies skin and fortifies with active ingredients.\u00a0 $38.47<\/p>\n

Try these from your kitchen:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Julie Gabriel, author of The Green Beauty Guide<\/a>, suggests this homemade mask to stimulate circulation and calm the skin.<\/p>\n

Breakfast Yogurt Scrub<\/p>\n

20 g brewer\u2019s yeast (powder or tablets)
\n2 teaspoons plain organic yogurt
\n2 teaspoons almond meal
\n1 teaspoon Manuka honey<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0Grind the tablets of brewer\u2019s yeast (if using tablets) in mortar.\u00a0 2.\u00a0 Add remaining ingredients and mix together.\u00a0 Use the scrub immediately, do not store.\u00a0 Leave on skin for a few minutes before rinsing off.<\/p>\n

One of my favorite homemade remedies is plain organic yogurt mixed with a few drops of rosehip oil.\u00a0 Yogurt exfoliates and tones, while rosehip oil repairs and nurtures skin.\u00a0 Follow with a splash of freshly brewed, cooled green tea for added antioxidant benefits.<\/p>\n

Make time for a facial treatment just once a week and your skin will thank you by looking its best.<\/p>\n
