Facial and Exfoliant Recipes:
Green Goddess Facial
Antioxidant-rich avocado contains a ton of vitamin C,which is needed for the creation of elastin and collagen, both responsible for maintaining skin’s firmness. Patchouli essential oil was added to the mix, since it tightens and tones sagging skin. The potent flower is also known to be a natural antidepressant, while it helps treat anxiety and other stress-related disorders. Use patchouli sparingly, because its scent can be overwhelming and off-putting to some. Finally, cocoa powder rejuvenates dull skin, while safeguarding your skin from sunburn.
Ingredients
1 ripe avocado
¼ cup of cannabis oil
2 teaspoon of natural, unsweetened cocoa powder
3-4 drops of patchouli oil (optional)
Preparation
Step one: Cut open the avocado, removing its pit and spooning its flesh into a large bowl. Add the remaining ingredients.
Step two: Mash the mixture into a smooth texture, trying to avoid chunks.
Step three: Rub the mixture in a circular motion on your face using fingertips.
Step four: To get the full spa treatment, boil some water and put it in a heatproof bowl. Be sure to tie your hair back. Next, put your green face over the bowl, with a towel over both you and the bowl. This will open up your pores, allowing your skin to absorb the facial’s nutrients.
Step five: Leave the facial on for 20-30 minutes. Afterward, take a warm wet washcloth and wash off the mixture in a circular motion.
Coco Oasis Exfoliant
Coconut oil is one of the trendiest new ingredients to put into any beauty elixir and with good reason.

Agave nectar has been noted to have incredible remedial potential, providing relief from bacteria and infections.

1 tablespoon of cannabis oil
1 ½ tablespoons of agave nectar

Step three: Combine the two mixtures and stir until mostly smooth. When finished, it should be a bit grainy to effectively exfoliate.
Step four & five: Repeat these same steps as in the Green Goddess recipe.
