Herbs for Health & Beauty

Parsley has been known to minimize swelling and redness of the skin around irritated eyes. It also lightens and evens out discoloured skin tone. You can make a parsley honey mask to reduce blackheads and wrinkles. Here is a recipe:

2 tablespoons of chopped parsley

1 egg yolk

1 tablespoon of honey

Mix parsley and egg yolk in a blender. Add honey and blend. Apply to neck and face and leave on for 20 minutes. Rinse with warm water.

For more ideas, be sure to attend the Horticultural Therapy Teaching Session on DIY Health & Beauty Products on August 23rd, 7-8 pm in the GEG.
