The holidays are a time of family, sweaters, hugs, and chocolate. While this a wonderful (and delicious) time, your skin might be rebelling at this point. So this is the first video in my "Holiday Detox" series that with focus on easy products you can make at home that will help you get back into gear during and after the holidays.

This week I created a 4 ingredient peppermint face wash to use in place of your regular face wash. It's super simple, only water, corn starch, mint leaves, and peppermint essential oil are necessary. I chose to do a peppermint face wash for its skin benefits and festive scent. Peppermint essential oil has Omega-3 fatty acids, iron, magnesium, calcium, Vitamins A and C, minerals, potassium, manganese and copper. This makes it perfect for maintaining healthy skin--brightening skin and helping to control acne. I also included fresh mint in the recipe for it's skin cleansing properties.

Together these ingredients create a gentle and refreshing way to increase skin health and prep yourself for the new year! Enjoy!
