DIY: STRAWBERRY MASK

I like this mask the most for its versatile benefits.

Area: face and neck

Benefits:

• Strawberries: treat blemishes; absorb excess oil; refresh and exfoliate the skin; repair skin damage (anti-oxidant); make skin shinier
• Yogurt: refines pores; soothes and nourishes skin; provides anti-bacterial effect
• Olive oil: nourishes and moisturizes skin
  
• Honey: aids skin healing
• Oatmeal: relieves dryness; heals minor irritation; restores skin moisture; exfoliates dead skin cell
  

Ingredients:

• 3 large strawberries
• 2 tbs plain yogurt
• 1 tsp olive oil (or baby oil)
• 2 tsp honey
• 3 tbs finely ground oatmeal

Direction:

• Blend strawberry
• Add yogurt, oil, and honey and mix well

• Add oatmeal and mix well

• Using clean brush, apply on face and neck

• Let it sit for 20 minutes.  You may feel a tingling effect as you're waiting.  And that's fine.  That means the strawberries are working really hard for you.

• After 20 minutes, gently run wet brush on the mask to exfoliate for 2 minutes.  Do this step 1 - 2 times per week only.  Don't overdo nor do it everyday because you may irritate your skin.
  

• Wipe clean with facial sponge or rinse with warm water
• Pat dry with towel
• Put on toner and facial lotion to finish up

You can store the extra in the refrigerator for a week.  This mask can be used daily.

May you find this refreshing!
