Customize
You can customize this mask by adding more or less of any ingredient to reach the consistency you prefer. If a thicker consistency is desired, substitute unflavored yogurt for coconut milk. If you prefer fresh kale, use one cup of fresh kale in place of tincture. To do this, prepare the mixture in a blender or food processor.
You can add additional fresh herbs as well. Play around with it! If you have fresh mint on hand, this can be a fun addition for more skin cooling refreshment.
