No one at all likes having dull skin, so I'm going to talk you through ways that you can make your skin brighter at home with things from your fridge; strawberries, yoghurt and honey.
Strawberries are rich in vitamin C and salicylic acid. Which means these powerful nutrients brighten, lighten, and cleanse oily, acne-prone skin, creating a clean and clear complexion. And honey boosts the anti-bacterial action of this yoghurt and strawberry face mask.Here are the skin benefits of the ingredients used in this yoghurt face mask. Strawberry is rich in vitamin C and both salicylic acid and alpha hydroxyl acids, strawberries provide skin brightening and lightening benefits. Honey has antibacterial properties that make honey a great acne-busting ingredient. Also a natural skin moisturiser.
What You'll Need:
- 2 medium strawberries
- 1 tablespoon of honey
- 1 tablespoon of natural or Greek yoghurt
Tip: Use very ripe strawberries, as raw ones will be hard to mash into a pulp.
What To Do:
- Mash the ripe strawberries using the back of a fork in a small mixing bowl.
- Add the honey and yoghurt, and mix them both thoroughly.
- Using clean fingers, apply a thick coat of the mixture onto your clean face in a circular motion.
- Sit for 15 minutes to let the mixture settle and dry out.
- After the time is up, gently scrub off the face mask using warm water.
- When the entire mask is off, splash cold water on your face to close up your pores and pat dry with a soft towel.
Tip 1: If your face feels dry and stiff, you can use coconut or olive oil as a natural moisturiser.
Tip 2: If you have an electronic mixer then you could pop all your ingredients into the mixer and switch on for a few minutes until it's all blended.
