Mature Skin Face Mask

Mature Skin Face Mask Ingredients

Tepezcohuite (Mimosa Tenuiflora) is the featured ingredient in my Face Mask for mature skin because of its reputation for healing and strengthening skin.  While few studies exist that back up this claim, I tend to suspect that there is something to its reputation simply because ancient peoples have been using it topically in Brazil and southern Mexico for centuries and continue to use it today.  While this is certainly not conclusive, I am impressed by its ancient reputation and provide it in my mask for us modern women to test ourselves.

Comfrey root is traditionally used to heal wounds, sprains and bones. It has a high tannin content and is a good source of allantoin which helps cells regenerate and has become an ingredients added to many products for the face, hair and skin.
