Edible Facials

Edible Facials

A few days ago, a friend of mine who is pregnant visited Vida Mia Spa and was delighted with the facial treatment she got. She is a Health and Wellness enthusiast just like me and really appreciates non-toxic, natural, and effective skincare, especially now that she is expecting a baby. She claimed it was the best facial she has ever had and this is something I've heard repeatedly, so I'm happy to know I am not biased when I say Vida Mia's facials are THE BEST.

If you are planning to visit Vida Mia or you are still thinking about your time at the Spa, here are 3 facials you can make at your own house, with things you might already have in your fridge!

Soothing Almond, Oatmeal, Cucumber

This combination absorbs surface oils and sloughs dead skin cells. It's best for oily, problem skin.

Ingredients

2-inch slice of cucumber

1 tablespoon almond milk

4 tablespoons of rolled oats

1–2 tablespoons of Sacred Clay or any detoxifying clay

Directions

Blend the unpeeled cucumber in a blender for a few seconds, then mix the pulp with the almond milk, rolled oats, and clay. Make a dry but workable paste, apply to the face, and leave it on for 15–20 minutes. Wipe off with a warm, moist towel, then apply an ice-cold moist towel.

Moisturizing Avocado, Coconut, Almond, Cucumber

A soothing and moisturizing mask for dry, sun-damaged, aging skin.

Ingredients

2-inch slice of cucumber

1 tablespoon almond milk

1⁄4 avocado, mashed

1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted

2–3 tablespoons of Sacred Clay or any detoxifying clay

Directions

Blend unpeeled cucumber in a blender for a few seconds, then mix the pulp with the remaining ingredients. Make a dry but workable paste, and apply it to the face and neck with upward strokes. Leave it on for 15–20 minutes. Wipe off with a warm, moist towel.

Honey Pat

This fun, sticky mask is great for softening and lifting your skin and helping retain moisture.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons of raw honey, melted

1 teaspoon of lime juice

Directions

Mix the honey and juice thoroughly. Gently pat onto the face using a circular motion. Rotate the fingers upward from the chin up the cheeks to the forehead and pat the cheeks untill they feel sticky. Leave it on for 15 minutes. Rinse with warm water.
