Strawberry Face Mask from Petit Elefant
- 5-6 ripe strawberries
- 2 T ground almonds
- 3 T yogurt
Using a coffee grinder or blender grind the almonds into crumbs. In a separate bowl mash the strawberries together (really well). Once the strawberries are a good mashed consistency, add yogurt and almonds and mix the whole thing together until you have a nice consistency.
Spread the strawberry mixture all over your face and let it sit for about 20 minutes
Wash mask off with lukewarm water.
Blueberry Facial from Natures Knock Out
- Raw Organic Blueberries – About 12
- Extra Olive Oil – 1 tablespoon
- Raw Organic Honey – 1/2 tablespoon
- acidophilus – 1 teaspoon or 1/2 teaspoon probiotic powder
- almond meal – 1 teaspoon
Mix ingredients together in a mini blender. Apply to face, neck, and hands for 10 minutes. It actually tastes pretty good too, but remove it with a warm, damp cloth.
Blackberry Mask from Style Mom
- 1/4 cup of fresh blackberries (you can also substitute strawberries, or blueberries as well as they are one of the foods that contain natural salicylic acid, a common ingredient found in acne medications)
- 1/4 cup sour cream or non-flavored/plain natural yogurt
Mash together the blackberries and yogurt or sour cream. Spread on face and leave on for 10-15 minutes. Rinse with warm water and mild cleanser if needed.
Raspberry Face Mask from Faces by Ren
- 3-4 Raspberries mashed well
- 1 Tbs. Plain whole fat yogurt (greek is the best for masks as it is thicker)
- 1 tsp. raw honey
- 1 tsp. finely ground oats
*Before applying the masks on your face, make sure to test it on your hand to see if your skin reacts.*
