This all-natural stimulating facial mask will promote blood flow and smooth and firm the skin. Strawberries are rich in vitamin C, which perks up tired skin, giving it a fresh healthy look. They also contain sulfur, which has cleansing and anti-inflammatory properties that help to remove impurities from the skin’s surface and reduce redness and swelling. Strawberries also gently refresh and exfoliate the skin via natural fruit acids and enzymes, producing a radiant complexion. Before applying the mask, thoroughly cleanse the skin, preferably with a facial toner that contains lemon balm or witch hazel.

1. Carefully rinse the strawberries in lukewarm water and dry with a clean cloth or towel.  Mash the strawberries with a fork in a small bowl. Add the cream and honey and mix well.

2. Apply the paste generously to the face and throat, keeping it away from your eyes. Begin by covering the chin area, then move up to the cheeks and forehead. Apply it to the nose next, moving outward toward the cheeks. Always leave space around the mouth, eyes and eyebrows. Lastly, spread it on the throat, moving from the bottom up.

3. Leave the mask on for 20 to 30 minutes, then wash off.

Note: People with sensitive or sunburned skin could have an adverse reaction to strawberries. Test on a small area first to assess your skin’s reaction.
