Strawberry Facial Mask

2008.04.17
Natural alpha hydroxy fruit acids, at their best.

No preservatives in this mask!!

I suggest applying this over a sink (it's messy) and wearing an old shirt. Feel free to apply close to the lips, cause this just tastes awesome!! It smells good, too.

Strawberries are abundant with mild fruit acid that acts as an exfoliant to remove dead-skin-cell buildup. This gentle mask, softens any skin type, but its pore-clearing effects may most benefit those prone to breakouts. Slathering the mask on 2-3 times a week should help even out your skin tone. (Don't use on sunburned skin). Since the mixture can get messy, make sure to pull your hair back before applying.

3 medium sized, very ripe strawberries (now you know what to do when you have some overripe ones, don't throw them out!)

1. Remove stems from fruit, and cut berries into small chunks.

2. Mash berries into juicy pulp using mortar and pestle (or fork and plate)

3. Dip fingers into strawberry pulp and massage onto dry, freshly cleansed face and throat.

4. Leave mask on 20 minutes. Rinse off with warm water. Pat dry and follow with your favorite moisturizer.
