Ingredients

  • 2 large fresh organic strawberries
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice omit if you have really sensitive skin
  • 1 tablespoon brown rice flour
  • Note: The acids in fresh strawberries will give a minor sting when first applied to your skin I find this goes away within a couple of minutes. I have been doing these masks for quite awhile and my skin tolerates them well. Your skin may be different though. The acids are what help to give a newer, brighter complexion.

Instructions

  • Mash up the strawberries with a fork and add the lemon juice and brown rice flour and mix together. Then puree it some into a paste with a hand immersion blender. This helps to bind it well and for it to easily apply to your skin, otherwise it's a bit too chunky if left unblended.
  • Wash your face so that it is clean before using the mask. Apply a very warm cloth on face to open up the pores. Add the strawberry paste all over your face and neck. It will be gloppy and a bit messy, so just do your best. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes, or until you feel it tightened and drying.
  • Before rinsing off, gently pat some warm water on your face to moisten the strawberry mask, then exfoliate your face in a circular motion, very gently. The brown rice flour will remove dead skin cells, while the strawberries help to brighten the skin and help with blemishes. Rinse off with lukewarm water and then do a final rinse of cool water. Apply your moisturizer. Enjoy your baby soft skin!
  • Do this 2-3 times a week, or less if your skin is super sensitive. I have been doing these masks for quite a long time, so my skin tolerates them well. It may take you some time to tolerate them. Everybody's skin is different, so your results may vary.
