Don’t forget you read it here first


The facial pack consists of spinach and mint and both are popular beauty ingredients. In fact mint works miraculously for those who suffer with acne .So when we combine spinach and mint it means we are providing the ingredients to the skin which will not only add the glow but with repair the skin too.
Preparation of the pack is pretty simple. All you need is few fresh spinach and mint leaves and put it in your mixer grinder. Add 2tspof honey in it. Do not add water while grinding them otherwise the pack will become quite thin in consistency.
Those with dry skin can add milk cream (milai).Try to make the pack as thick as possible otherwise when you will apply it on your face it will keep running down. If interested you can mix fuller earth (multani mitti) powder in it for thick consistency.
I used it with fuller earth because I wanted to feel fresh in this scorching heat. I added few drops of rose water also but that is optional. I did it just to rejuvenate myself. Keep the mask for 15-20 minutes and wash it off with cold water. You can use this pack (without fuller earth) every day too and see yourself glowing within weeks. Always make fresh mask and try to use baby spinach leaves if possible.

Spinach and Kale Face Mask

Ingredients:
½ Pound Washed Spinach (Organic)
½ Pound Washed Green Kale (Organic)
2 Tablespoons Pure Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO)
1 Tablespoon Heavy Cream
Preparation:
Use a juice extractor to squeeze out all the juice from the spinach and kale. Dispose of pulp and mix together the remaining leafy green juice with the EVOO and cream in a mixing bowl. Once blended, apply to your clean face and neck and leave on for 20 minutes. Rinse off with warm water and gently pat dry with a soft hand towel. Follow with an oil-free moisturizer or a drop of EVOO to hydrate your skin (without clogging your pores!) Store the remaining face mask mixture in an air-tight container and refrigerate. It can be used for up to a week before needing to be disposed.

Benefits:
Spinach and kale are rich in a ton of nutrients and antioxidants beneficial for your body and skin. I recommend drinking the juice of the spinach and kale daily for good health that starts from the inside and exudes out but it is also great to use the juice on your skin as well. It has been thought that this mixture will one day replace Botox because it is found to naturally tighten your skin without needing to go under the needle! Spinach and kale are specifically rich in chlorophyll, enzymes, vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients that will leave your skin glowing, looking younger, and help fight acne as well. It’s important to “juice” the greens and not cook them because
you kill all the nutrients by cooking these beautiful greens.
Extra virgin olive oil will hydrate your skin beautifully without clogging your pores or causing you to breakout. It will seep deep into your skin hydrating your skin for days to come. Heavy cream is a beautiful moisture drink for your skin.
