1. Flaxseed Face Mask for Glowing Skin
Get an instant glow and relax with our wonderful flaxseed face mask recipe, which you can whip up at home using just 4 simple ingredients. Flaxseeds are rich in omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants that soothe irritation and reduce inflammation. When soaked, they form a gel-like texture that tightens skin and locks in moisture.
- Put 1 tbsp chamomile flowers in a cup, add 100ml boiling water and leave to infuse for 15 minutes.
- In a small bowl, mix 1 tbsp ground flaxseed, 2 tbsp of the warm chamomile infusion, 3 tbsp aloe vera gel and 1 drop of lavender essential oil. Mix well.
- Leave to stand for 15 minutes.
- Apply on your face and neck, then leave for 10-15 minutes. Rinse with warm water.
- Apply your favourite moisturiser.
- Glow!
2. Oat & Honey Exfoliating Scrub
Oats gently exfoliate while calming redness and irritation, making them ideal for sensitive skin. Honey is a natural humectant that draws moisture into the skin and helps fight bacteria.
You’ll need:

- A splash of warm water
Blend oats into a coarse flour, mix with honey and a little water, then massage gently into damp skin. Rinse well.

Mix salts with dried lavender and add a few drops of essential oil. Store in a glass jar. Add to your bathtub and enjoy your lush, relaxing bath!
