Home facial using honey

Before you start

Wash your hands with soap and water.

Wash all the bowls, whisk, utensils, spoons, cups and whatever equipment you will be using for this facial with soap and water. Sterilize these with boiling water. (Note: do not boil glass items as these can crack and the splinters can injure you. Certain plastics can melt if boiled so watch out for that). Make sure all surfaces you use for preparing this facial are clean. Remember. For home facials, hygiene and cleanliness is all important.

Put 1 tablespoon of almond flour into a bowl.

Put a handful of rose petals into another bowl.

Fill a kettle with water and set that to boil.

Get ready some cotton pads and a clean towel an 1 tablespoon of milk. (Skim milk if your skin is oily)

Dry your face with a clean towel.

Pour boiling water into the bowl of rose petals.
