1. Prepare the Bay Leaf Infusion
Boil 1 cup of water and add the dried bay leaves.
Let them simmer for 5–7 minutes until the water turns a light amber color.
Remove from heat and let the infusion cool completely. Strain the liquid into a small bowl.
2. Mix the Mask
In a mixing bowl, combine 2–3 tablespoons of the bay leaf infusion with honey, yogurt, and lemon juice.
Mix until smooth to form a creamy mask.
3. Apply the Mask
Start with a clean, dry face.
Using a brush or your fingers, apply the mask evenly over your face and neck, avoiding the eye area.
Let it sit for 15–20 minutes.
4. Rinse and Moisturize
Rinse off the mask with lukewarm water, gently massaging your skin in circular motions.
Pat your face dry and apply a light moisturizer to lock in hydration.
