I love having friends in the beauty industry because we’re always sharing healthy living and beautifying tips! My girlfriends at the Maui Westin Spa and Salon helped me create an mineral rich face mask that felt amazing! The blend of ONO Elixir of Life white tea, bentonite, cider vinegar, and jojoba oil makes the perfect all natural mask for oily skin.

Bentonite: is a mineral-rich clay that is used to absorb excess oil, dirt, and toxins from the skin while simultaneously exfoliating and improving skin circulation. It helps draw out impurities and neutralizes free radicals.

Apple Cider vinegar: is used as a complexion toner, skin exfoliate and even a detoxifier for the body. The antiseptic properties in the vinegar allow your pores to open up.

Jojoba oil: can prevent the skin from becoming too oily. Because the structure of jojoba oil so closely resembles natural sebum, it can actually trick the skin into producing less natural sebum, which, unlike jojoba, can clog pores. Jojoba oil may help treat acne, both by reducing sebum production and by protecting the skin from harmful bacteria.

ONO Elixir of Life: Topically applied white tea may improve the immune function of skin cells and protect against harmful ultraviolet rays, a 2003 study by Origins Natural resources suggests.
