Frozen Egg & Honey Facial Mask 

Recommended for dry skin, this is particularly soothing on sunburned skin. 

Ingredients: 

1 egg 
1/2 cup coconut oil, melted (but not hot) 
1 tablespoon honey 

Instructions: 
- Beat the egg in a small bowl until frothy and well-mixed. Slowly add the liquid coconut oil and honey, beating until your mask is the consistency of mayonnaise. 

- Take an empty toilet tissue roll and set it on end in a clean bowl. Spoon mixture into the cardboard toilet paper roll. Place tube, in the bowl, in the freezer overnight.

- To use, peel away just the top 1/4 inch of the cardboard roll and smooth the frozen stick over your face (think of it as a push-up pop). Leave your mask on for 5 to 10 minutes, then rinse off with warm water. 

-Return the cream stick covered with plastic wrap and frozen between uses. Keeps indefinitely.
