Day 2: Moisturize

In a bowl, mix 2 tablespoons honey, 2 tablespoons regular or corn (non-GMO) or potato flour, and 2 tablespoons of milk until a creamy and smooth. Spread the mask on the skin (face and/or body). Leave on for 15-20 minutes and rinse.

Day 3: Nourish

Combine 2 teaspoons of freshly cooked and pureed pumpkin, half a teaspoon of honey, and a few drops of whole milk. (For dry skin, exchange milk for one-quarter teaspoon heavy whipping cream or, for extremely dry and sensitive skin, extra virgin olive oil or for oily skin, one-quarter teaspoon of cranberry juice.) Mix gently and apply to your face with clean hands, avoiding the eye area. Rest and relax for 10-15 minutes. Rinse with warm water and pat dry. Follow up with a non-comedogenic moisturizer.
