DIY STRAWBERRY FACE MASK RECIPE FOR ALL SKIN TYPES
This homemade strawberry face mask recipe was born because I am a sucker for a good Beatles’s song and known for letting my thoughts drift off on tangents.
It’s no surprise then that after listening to “Strawberry Fields,” I suddenly had the urge to snack on a certain berry.
It was this particular tangent that inspired me to create this DIY strawberry face mask – a dual purpose recipe!
Sweets (even the natural kind) tend to make my skin break out, so I often avoid them.
Since I wasn’t able to curb the craving, I figured I might as well make something that would taste great and beautify at the same time; thus the invention of the dual strawberry face mask and sorbet!
This strawberry face mask recipe is not only delicious when frozen, but also a refreshing facial that will prevent future breakouts!
You must be wondering why you’d waste perfectly good strawberry sorbet on your face, but all the ingredients are incredibly effective in maintaining your skin’s healthy glow.
HEALTH BENEFITS OF THESE 3 SIMPLE INGREDIENTS
Strawberries are rich with salicylic acid which is commonly found in over the counter acne medications and cleansers.
It naturally encourages cellular turnover and sloughs away dead skin cells that can clog your pores and lead to acne breakouts.
Strawberries are also rich in vitamin C and low on the glycemic index which helps give your skin that healthy glow and prevents your blood sugar from spiking.
Maple syrup and honey are both fabulous moisturizers and antibacterial agents, so you will feel clean and nourished after this facial.
Finally, yogurt contains lactic acid and is a type of alpha hydroxy acid.
When used on your skin it acts like an exfoliant to reduce blemishes, scars, dark spots and many other skin issues that can cause you to look aged. It also stimulates collagen production so your skin will remain firm and youthful for years to come.
