Looking to whip up a DIY face mask perfect for sensitive, inflamed, or rough skin? This Strawberry Face Mask checks all the boxes for a gentle facial treatment you can prepare right in your kitchen.
Ingredients:
- 1 handful of fresh, ripe strawberries
- 2 tablespoons of full-fat natural (plain) yogurt
Instructions:
Blend or mash your strawberries until they reach a smooth consistency (a blender makes this easier, but a fork works too—I used a cup blender). Mix the strawberry puree with the yogurt, then spread a thin layer over your face for 10-15 minutes (the leftovers are delicious, so I like to snack on them!). Rinse with warm water, and follow up with your usual toner and moisturizer for wonderfully soft skin!
Pair this with our all-natural DIY lip scrub for the softest lips imaginable.
Why These Ingredients?
Strawberries are packed with salicylic acid, vitamin C, and other vital nutrients. Yogurt, rich in lactic acid, is incredibly nourishing and soothing, making it ideal for sensitive, inflamed skin.
This mask provides a refreshing sensation and has a gentle exfoliating effect, making it perfect for dull, rough, or damaged skin, especially beneficial for acne and scarring, as it helps remove dead skin cells while calming redness.
While creating your own face masks at home requires a bit more effort than simply squeezing product from a tube, you can be confident about the freshness and quality of the ingredients you use on your skin.
It may not feel as luxurious, but the results are equally impressive, and you’ll likely save some money too!
