Rose Petal Facial

This romantically-scented recipe replenishes moisture and tones parched skin.


•On a freshly-washed face, pat a cotton cosmetic pad soaked with one tablespoon of Greek yogurt and one teaspoon of honey for one minute. Rinse clean with warm water.

•Then, take the petals off of two roses and grind them in a shallow bowl with a mortar or spoon. Mix in one teaspoon, each, of soy oil and flour.

•When the mixture is thoroughly blended, add three teaspoons of water.

•Apply the mixture to your face with a fan- or foundation brush and leave it on for 30 minutes.

•Rinse off thoroughly, and finish with a light layer of your normal moisturizer.
