Add flaxseeds to a small pot with water. Bring to a boil, then simmer on low heat for 5–7 minutes until the mixture thickens into a gel-like consistency.
Strain the Gel:
Let the mixture cool slightly, then strain the gel using a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth.
Apply the Mask:
Cleanse your face, then apply the flaxseed gel evenly using a brush or your fingers. Avoid the eye area.
Relax and Let It Dry:
Leave the mask on for 20–30 minutes. You’ll feel it tightening as it dries.
Rinse Off:
Wash your face with lukewarm water and pat dry.
Moisturize:
Follow up with your favorite moisturizer to lock in the hydration.

Additional Tips
For a Soothing Boost: Add a few drops of aloe vera gel or rose water to the mask.
Storage: Refrigerate any leftover flaxseed gel in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
Use Freshly Ground Flaxseeds: If using whole seeds, grind them just before use for maximum potency.
Precautions
Always do a patch test before applying the mask to your face, especially if you have sensitive skin.
