Face Mask

"Mom, I need some honey," my eleven-year-old daughter said.

"Why?" I asked.

"You'll see."

I figured she was going to conduct some kind of scientific experiment.  I gave her the honey and went off to do my business.

Ten minutes later, she and my son waltzed into the room and stood next to me.  They had a big grin plastered on each of their faces. And something else.

"What the heck is on your face?" I asked my daughter.

"Honey.  And sugar.  And vitamin E capsules."

"Seriously?"

"Yeah, mom.  It's a face mask, and it's going to make our faces really soft."

Just then, our German Shepherd Schultz joined the party.  He sat down and cocked his head.  His big old nose started sniffing.

"I think he wants to eat your face masks," I said.

My kids' eyes got big.  They screamed and took off.  And Schultz charged after them.

So much for the face mask!

  1. Food face masks can be effective. Perhaps the kids are on the right track. I don't know about Vit.E om the face. It's great for burns (stops the pain).

    However, egg white masks, avocado masks and oatmeal scrubs do work. I didn't like the honey one unless it's mixed with yogurt. I tried these years ago, too.

    Hubs used to say 'Ooga Booga' when he saw me with food masks on. All I needed was a bone in the hair.

  7. Wow! I bet it took some work to get that sticky honey off their faces. Do they have fabulous skin now? Maybe you'll make a fortune marketing this new beauty product.

    Love,

    1. It did take a while, and they do have fabulous skin, but I'm not sure the honey is entirely responsible for that. :)

  14. Funny! I have tried face masks on my daughter to control her acne. My idea, not hers. Your kids are so inventive.

  15. Haha! Funnily enough, I think my mom would have loved it if I tried to do something similar as a kid. Even now she tries to get me to try face masks, and I'm just like...no, please! XD
