The Benefits of Hibiscus in Skincare
Why hibiscus?  It’s actually one powerhouse of an ingredient.  It can be used in teas, hair treatments, bath bombs – you name it.  When used in a facial mask, here’s how it benefits the skin:
	
Hibiscus is full of antioxidants that can help fight skin damage
	
It helps balance out the skin by both hydrating and controlling oil production
	
Hibiscus powder works to exfoliate the skin and increase circulation for a smoother and more glowing complexion
	
It contains anti-aging alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) and amino acids, both of which help to revive the skin. 
 
TO USE:  
	
Add the hibiscus flower powder blend to a small bowl and mix together.
	
Start adding your choice of yogurt, water, or honey to the powder mixture until it forms a thick paste.
	
Apply all over your face (avoiding your eye area).
	
Let the mask sit until it’s completely dry. (Don’t leave the mask on too long as the clay will start to absorb moisturize from your skin.)
	
Splash water over your face to re-wet the mask, each time using your fingers to gently massage and loosen the mixture on your skin. Continue splashing/massaging until the mask is completely removed. (You can always grab a washcloth to help speed up this process.)
	
Finish with a hydrating mask or your regular moisturizer.
