Today I am doing a program at the Illinois Herb Association. The program is Body Beautiful about making your own herb-based beauty products.
In keeping with this month's theme and the fact I am on a beauty activity I thought I would share two recipes for a facial mask made with Mustard Seeds.
Mustard seeds are a good scrub that can be used for skin exfoliation, mustard seed also enhances the hydration system of skin. If blended with aloe vera or lemon juice, it makes for an unbeatable beauty solution that nourishes and cleans the skin of all impurities.
Mustard seed is rich in sulphur content which acts as a natural anti fungal property, thus helping fight against skin infections and rashes effectively. Its lutein and carotene content along with various vitamins makes it a brilliant anti aging solution also.
Simple Mustard and Aloe Mask
1 Tbls mustard seeds
2 Tbls aloe vera gel
Blend together to create a paste. Massage your face for 10-15 minutes. The seeds will remove the dead cells while the aloe vera gel will moisturize your skin deep within in a natural and excellent manner.
Mustard Lemon and Honey Mask
1 Tbls mustard seeds
1 Tbls Plain yogurt
1 Tbls fresh lemon juice
1 Tbls honey
1 Tbls corn flour
Combine ingredients with just enough spring or distilled water to make a smooth paste. Apply it evenly and allow it to dry for 20-25 minutes. Rinse away with clean water and get gorgeously glowing skin without effort.
Enjoy your beauty items. And if you attended my lecture. Here is the link to the information on
