In this interactive hands-on class, you'll customize your own spa-quality moisturizing and exfoliating facial masks. You'll experience all the wonderful things like fresh fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts and more that you can use to make your own fresh facials at home, using all-natural (mostly edible) ingredients.

Both exfoliating and moisturizing fresh facial masks can be created almost entirely from ingredients found in our kitchens! When used in a relaxing facial, these delicious ingredients help stimulate circulation, promote deep cleansing, moisturize and nourish, can heal blemishes, and tone the skin. And since true beauty comes from within, we'll nourish ourselves from the inside out as we snack on these delicious foods and discuss their many benefits.

THIS CLASS WILL COVER:
~Cleansing Fresh Fruits
~Exfoliating Grains, Seeds & Nuts
~Moisturizing Milks & Other Wetting Agents
~Beneficial Fresh Herbs & Botanicals
~Handy Powdered Fruit Extracts
~Cosmetic Grade Clays
~Other great secret ingredients used in cooking & cosmetics

Come and discover all the nourishing and delicious fresh
ingredients that you can use to take care of your skin!

You will leave with 2 single-use fresh facial masks - one exfoliating and one moisturizing that you will be instructed to use within 24 hours, plus two additional 2 oz. jars of dry masks, customized for your skin type, that you can use within the next few months. You'll also take home thorough handouts that include suggested reading and a recommended supplier list. All products made in this class are 100% NATURAL (they are free from synthetic ingredients and preservatives). Please BRING a washcloth and hand towel to class if you want to try the products made in class.
