Fennel Anti-aging Pack

For the aging skin make a pack of:

1 tub of probiotic plain yoghurt
1 cup of infusion of fennel seed tea (brew for 20 minutes)
2 tablespoons of Manuka honey (put into warm tea)
1 tablespoon fennel stalk minced (fresh)
2 tablespoons fennel fronds chopped (fresh)

Mix together and apply warm onto a clean face. Let sit for 15 minutes.
It is purported to enliven the skin and smooth wrinkles. It acts as a skin tonic being antiseptic and allays irritation of the skin. (Claire Loewenfeld Herbs for Health and Cookery).

Thyme Blossom Mask


Thyme Blossom Mask: Chop 3 tablespoons of fresh thyme with blossoms, then seep in ½ cup of boiling water for 3 minutes. In a ceramic bowl add the thyme blossoms and water and combine with 1 mashed avocado, ¼ cup of yoghurt, and 2 tablespoons of Manuka honey. Spread the mixture over your clean face, let sit for 15 minutes. While resting be mindful of its anti-inflammatory and anti-aging properties, as your skin drinks in the nutrients. Rinse off with lukewarm water and pat your face dry.
