Use an occasional mask treatment to leave your skin feeling wonderful. Choose mask formulas that are appropriate to your skin type, and use them only as often as recommended.

RELATED CONTENT

My formulas are suitable for both men and women. They are easy to make and require equipment and ingredients that you are likely to have on hand or can obtain readily at a health-food store, supermarket or drugstore. I use a small electric chopper/mincer—like a miniature food processor—for chopping and blending small batches of herbs, but these steps can also be done by hand.

Use slightly warm, tepid or cool water on your face. Apply all formulas with your fingertips; before you start, wash and dry your hands, then sanitize them with 70 percent isopropyl alcohol.

Supplies:

Measuring spoons
Small food processor or chopper
4- to 6-ounce heatproof glass bowl
Small spatula or spoon
Isopropyl alcohol
Glass storage containers with lids (Scald by dropping clean container and lid into boiling water. Remove and allow to air-dry.)

Kathlyn Quatrochi has a doctorate in naturopathy. She and her husband own St. Anley Inn, a bed-and-breakfast surrounded by herb gardens in Oak Glen, California. Kathlyn teaches herbal skin care, maintains a skin treatment practice, and makes Beauty Garden Skin Care Products.
