Buddha Belly Mask-Soothe Your Growing Belly

Snacking fifteen times a day? You might as well feed your belly from the outside too. As your midsection stretches to places you never thought possible, make time to show your appreciation for your baby's temporary home by liberally applying this delicious moisturizing mask made of avocado, honey and molasses to your belly. When you rinse clean after applying the mask, you'll also be gently exfoliating the skin which can help minimize stretch marks. While this mask looks and smells delicious, please don't be tempted to taste as it contains essential oil.

 

2 ounces avocado
1 ounce orange juice
2 teaspoons molasses
5 drops chamomile essential oil

 

Mash the avocado in a bowl, and then mix in the remaining ingredients. Add extra orange juice if the mixture is too thick. Spread the mask over your belly and leave it on for at least 30 minutes before using a warm washcloth to rinse off the mask.
