Did You Know You Could Make Botox in Your Kitchen for JUST $7?
This is The Flaxseed Face Mask That Took Over the Natural Skincare World. Dare I say I think I had some plastic surgeons shitting their pants.
This is the generation that is waking up and saying F*** YOU to needles and overpriced toxic creams. Especially when there’s a little-known kitchen staple that I have nicknamed “nature’s Botox”, and it costs less than $7 for a months long supply.
We’re talking about flaxseeds. The dark little seeds that, when boiled, create a gel that tightens, plumps, and hydrates your skin naturally. This DIY flaxseed mask has been praised for its botox-like effects, without any toxins, chemicals, or side effects. It’s 100% edible, totally clean, and backed by both tradition and skin science. And you know what this mask + some vitamin e oil is what got rid of the appearance of my rosacea.
Why Flaxseed Gel Works Like Botox (But Better)
Flaxseeds are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, lignans, and mucilage (a jelly-like fiber), all of which
support skin elasticity, reduce inflammation, and help hold moisture in the skin barrier. When used, the gel acts like a natural film that tightens the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines, and making your skin smooth like butter.
Here’s what flaxseed gel can help with:
- Firms and lifts the skin (temporarily tightens like Botox)
- Hydrates and plumps dull or dry areas
- Soothes redness, irritation, or inflammation
- Minimizes the appearance of pores and fine lines
- Adds a natural glow without oils or synthetics
The $7 Flaxseed "Botox" Mask Recipe
You’ll need:
2 tbsp whole flaxseeds (if you want it thicker then add more than 2tbsp)
1 cup filtered water
Optional: 1 drop frankincense (for extra benefits)Instructions:
1. Boil: Add flaxseeds and water to a small pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer for about 10 minutes. Stir occasionally.
2. Watch the gel form: You’ll see the water begin to thicken into a gel like consistency. That’s your signal it’s ready.
3. Strain: Pour the mixture through a mesh strainer or cheesecloth while it’s still hot (it thickens quickly). Catch the gel in a bowl.
4. Cool & Store: Let cool, then store in a glass jar in the fridge for up to 10 days.
How to Use:
- Apply to clean skin with your fingers or a brush
- Let it sit for 10–15 minutes (you’ll feel the tightening effect!)
- Rinse with warm water and pat dry
- Follow with a light ancestral oil if desired (like tallow balm or rosehip)
Use 2–3 times a week for best results and yes, you ca* also use it around your eyes and neck.
