Home spa - honey mask for dry skin

This is Stephanie Tourles' favorite mask for dry, flaky skin. Honey is a humectant, drawing moisture from the air to your skin, and also keeping the moisture from escaping.

What you need:

2 to 3 tsp. honey
Pull all your hair off your face; a shower cap works well. Clean your face and pat it dry. Apply a thin, even layer of honey to your face and neck; moisture will bead up on top of the honey. Lie down and relax for 15 minutes. Before rinsing, gently tap your face all over with your fingertips for about 5 minutes to increase blood circulation. Rinse with warm water and a washcloth, then moisturize.
