In reply to: Here's the recipie for a homemade peel off masque posted by Linda in NJ on June 20, 2001 at 20:46:08:

: Here it is guys:
:
: 1/4 cup (50ml) fruit juice (apparently any kind is okay)
: 1/4 cup (50 ml) herbal infusion (don't be scared, this means strong

: herbal tea-essentially what most folks use as
liquid in
: their henna paste)
: 1 packet unflavored gelatin (you can find it in the baking section
of
: any supermarket)
:
: 1. Pour liquid ingredients into an oven safe glass container (pyrex)
: 2. Add gelatin and stir to dissolve
: 3. Gently heat using a double boiler for 1 minute, stir constantly.
: 4. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
: Then use as you would a normal facial masque.
:
: Notes: Gelatin, when you first pour it into anything, stinks
horribly.
: Don't worry the smell reduces once it dissolves and the sugar in
the
: juice takes over.
:
: I'd advise experimenting with different combos of lemon juice and
herbs
: to see what works best. Use a simple pattern when experimenting so
: you're not disappointed if it doesn't work well.
:
: Storage: I don't know how well this stores. I know you should keep
it
: in a refrigerator (it's essentially edible), and many people advise
: adding Vitamin E as a preservative.
:
: That my two cents, write back with reports of how it works!
: Linda
