- To Make: Remove the parsley leaves from the stems to make ⁄ cup of
the leaves. Place the parsley, lemon juice, and honey in the blender.
Blend on low speed until you have a uniform mixture. Remove from the
blender with a rubber spatula and place into a mixing bowl. Add the clay
a little at a time, stirring to blend until you reach a spreadable paste. - To Store: This mask is best fresh. Store in a closed container in the
refrigerator and use within 4 days. - To Use: To use, apply to clean skin. Leave on skin 10–15 minutes and
rinse off with warm water. You may experience a mild stinging sensation
from the lemon juice. This is normal, especially if you have active acne
blemishes. Rinse immediately if you experience discomfort. Follow with
toner and moisturizer.
HELPFUL HINTS
I prefer to use flat-leaf parsley, which has a higher concentration of
vital nutrients, in this recipe. If you can’t find it, the curly leaf variety
is a fine substitute.
