Make your own very easy flax seed face mask

Christmas means a lot of things to a lot of different people, but for the average working woman, it most definitely means two things: looking as good as possible and spending a lot of money.
Looking good is a must around Christmas - with work parties to attend, family to impress and friends to wow.
To cut the spending part down to a minimum, why not make your own flax seed face mask?
Your face will be just as glowing for the Christmas party, without the expensive price tag.
What you’ll need
1 glass of water
1 teaspoon flax seed
Pot and Stove
Gauze
Oil of your choice
1. Add the flax seeds and water to a pan and boil over a low heat until they make a thick pulp mixture.
Flax seeds are known for reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, owing to the fact that they are rich in alpha linoleic acid.
According to dermatologist Jeffrey Benabio, the fatty oils found in flax seed hydrates dry skin, leaving it supple, soft and youthful.
One of the fatty oils found in flax seed is omega-3, which is particularly beneficial for people with blemished and inflamed skin.
Louise Thomas-Minns, founder of uandyourskin, says omega-3 is "vital for defending the skin and for reducing inflammatory skin issues such as ageing, psoriasis, eczema and rosacea".
2. Cool until the mixture reaches room temperature.
3. Add the oil of your choice.
"Oils have been used for centuries by Ayurvedic practitioners to treat dry skin conditions. They are easily absorbed by the skin and contain a good source of vitamins and are known to accelerate healing," explains expert Renée Mann, from the Ayurvedic Practitioners Association.
She recommends almond oil as an anti-wrinkle treatment.
"Oils are a better alternative than mainstream skincare products as they are natural and are a much cheaper offering," she says.

- Carrot Oil for Face Feb 19, 2021Hello :) Carrot Oil contains Beta Carotene and Vitamin A which, by eliminating toxic build-up and repairing sun-damaged skin, helps to improve skin complexion. Antiseptic properties also assist in reducing breakouts and the formation of acne. It is also great for hydrating the skin. So mixing it with Jojoba oil may help. I would also recommend mixing Jojoba oil and Tamanu oil as both have great moisturising properties and are great for acne prone skin. Hope this helps!
- Carrot Oil for Face Feb 19, 2021I have acne. I have been using jojoba oil only but I noticed my face is sometimes dry. If I add carrot oil will it help moisturize my face and clear the spots or should I join argan oil to the mix?

- The amazing Ashwagandha benefits for womenFeb 04, 2021Hello Dia, Thank you for your comment. Research is confusing when it comes to testosterone levels with PCOS and using Ashwagandha. As it is an adaptogenic herb, it will 'adapt' to the environment of the body to support hormonal balance. A huge therapeutic benefit of Ashwagandha is its ability to balance cortisol levels, which could improve stress and symptoms of PCOS also. If you are currently using any medications or under medical supervision, please seek advice from your practitioner to ensure there are no interactions. I hope this helps :)

- The amazing Ashwagandha benefits for womenJan 20, 2021Hi Simie, thank you for your message. Ashwagandha is safe to be taken alongside other supplements including Vitamin E and Calcium. We would advise you check with your GP for interactions with estrogen medications for menopause as there are different variations of these medications. I hope this helps :)
