Homemade Facial Mask

I have kind of terrible skin.  
I'm in my 40s and my skin acts like a hormonal teenager's sometimes.  

Along with my desire to limit the chemicals in my life, I thought I'd check into homemade skin care.

I googled 'recipes for face masks' and got a lot of great ideas,  
and noticed several recurring ingredients such as:

Anything milky.

Lemon juice.

Honey.

Oatmeal.

Sugar.

Many other things I can't remember.  
You get the gist--"tasty things" are good on your face.

For my concoction tonight, 
I mixed a spoonful each of greek yogurt (plain of course), 
lemon juice and honey.

No need to take a photo.  It didn't look like much.

I smeared it on my face and waited for the magic.  

Hmmm.  Nothing happened except the dogs thought I was delicious.

After a few minutes I scrubbed it off with a palmful of sugar and warm water.  

Once I rinsed everything off my face, it felt really really soft!

And I'm totally prettier.
