How to Cleanse Pores With Mint Leaves

A mint leaf facial is a great way to relax while you rejuvenate your skin

Many facial masks rely on chemicals to cleanse and tighten skin. In fact, some masks do not even affect your skin at all. Instead, they rely on the tingling feeling that wearing the mask produces in your skin to make you feel as if you are accomplishing a legitimate beauty treatment. The best and safest way to care for your skin is to use masks that you have made yourself from natural ingredients that you know will work. Learn how to cleanse pores with mint leaves using a natural facial mask that will not harm your skin or your wallet.

Things You'll Need

• 1 tablespoon of honey
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon crumbled, dry chamomile flowers
• 1 teaspoon finely chopped, fresh mint leaves
• Small bowl
• Fork
• Soft washcloth

Instructions

1. Break the egg into the bowl. You can beat it slightly with the fork, but do not whip a lot of air into the mixture.

2. 

   Stir in the chamomile flowers, honey and fresh mint leaves. You will end up with a thick, sticky greenish-brown paste.

3. Cover your face and neck with the mint leaf mask. Make sure that all of your skin is covered, but it does not have to have a thick layer of goop or you may end up dripping on your clothes, furniture or carpet.

4. Let the mask sit for 15 minutes. It will begin to dry and become crusty on the top. If your face begins to feel stiff, go ahead and move on.

5. Wash off the mask with warm water. Do not use hot water as it can actually cook the egg. Use lukewarm to medium water and a soft washcloth to remove your mint leaf facial. Your skin will feel smooth and refreshed and your pores will be harder to see.

Tips & Warnings

• For a creamier mask, you can puree the ingredients using a blender or a food processor.
