The Fountain of Youth may not exist, but we can achieve a more youthful look with some help from a few natural ingredients. This invigorating facial mask works for all genders and provides a moisturizer and improving elasticity. When spending too much time in the sun it acts as a refreshing cooling agent as it soothes the skin. For those visitors from the drier climates (such as Mexico City) this mask is an excellent start for your weekend away from the city.
Ingredients
• ½ fresh nopal cactus pad.
• 1 tbsp aloe vera gel.
• 1 tbsp oats (for texture/exfoliation).
• 1 carrot (for antioxidants)
Instructions
1. Clean the nopal pad thoroughly, removing all thorns and the outer skin.
2. Blend the nopal with the carrot, aloe vera, and oats until a smooth, gel-like paste forms.
3. Apply to clean skin and leave on for 15-20 minutes.
4. Rinse with lukewarm water.
Enjoy!
