YUM!
This recipe (from over here) sounds almost tasty for my tongue as well as my skin:
1/3 cup dark cocoa
3 tbs heavy cream
1/4 cup honey
2 tbs pureed or powdered oatmeal
Mix all the ingredients together and apply. Let it sit for 15 minutes and then rinse off with warm water using a gentle circular method to exfoliate.
For the record:
I have previous experience of and can attest to the fantastic skin effects of oatmeal, honey and cream for your face, as moisturisers and exfoliaters. The only thing I have yet to try in a home-made face mask is cocoa, and I'm not sure of the benefits - apart from a scrummy smell. Anti-oxidants, perhaps?
In other news, my gastric reflux is getting worse; WAY more frequent and longer lasting. Bah. Splodge cannot arrive soon enough.
