- Mash about 5 to 8 strawberries using a fork and then add about tree tablespoons of honey to it. Apply and leave the pack on your skin for about 10 to 15 minutes and then wash off using lukewarm water. Lastly, use a toner and moisturizer for better effects of the face mask.
- You can rejuvenate your skin just by making a face mask by blending half a cup of strawberries with a tablespoon of sour cream. Leave the mask on your skin for about 20 minutes and follow this every week for the best results.
3.Another easy DIY strawberry mask recipe you can try out at home involves making a mixture of 4-5 strawberries, two teaspoons of honey and half a tablespoon of plain yogurt. You can use heavy milk cream instead of yogurt if you have very dry skin.
4.Mix half a cup of strawberries with a quarter cup of cornstarch. If required, add some raw milk while blending and apply the mask on your face. Leave it on your face for about an hour to get rid of excess skin oils.
5.Take a tablespoon each of light cream and cornstarch or rice flour and ¾ cup of sliced strawberries to blend to a smooth paste. Smear this paste on your skin and wash off after 10 minutes for smooth and glowing skin.
You can also create a wide range of facial masks by adding ingredients like finely ground oatmeal, cocoa powder, fuller’s earth, egg whites, rose water and sugar and various other fruits to mashed strawberries. Each has its own distinctive benefit and property which makes it a great skin care mask.
While it is a fact that strawberries do pamper and benefit your skin a lot, it’s better to avoid applying the fruit on sensitive, broken or sunburned skin. Moreover, it’s important that you when you apply your strawberry mask, you carefully apply it on your face and neck, away from your eyes. With care and regular use, these strawberry skin masks make better than harm to your skin!
