 Fresh Fruit Facials for Healthy Skin

I was having tea with a friend
last week, and we were discussing our extensive skin care regimens.
As we were exchanging tips and advice, I realized that I have
amassed a virtual recipe box of facials that can be done using
fresh fruit. As there are many of you out there that could benefit
from this knowledge, I have decided to share my insights.
One of my favorites is the peach
facial, which works very well as a tightening mask. Simply take
a ripened peach, and remove the skin and the pit from the center.
Place the peach and the whites from a single egg in a blender,
and whip until smooth. Pat the mixture onto your face, and allow
it to sit there for 30 minutes. Rinse with cold water.
I have found that the apple mask
is very good for normal skin. Peel, core, and quarter an apple.
Chop the apple in your blender, and add two tablespoons of honey.
Blend until smooth. Then remove the mixture from the blender,
and refrigerate for approximately 10 minutes. Apply the mixture
to your face using a patting motion, and be sure to pat until
the honey becomes tacky. Leave it on for about 30 minutes, and
rinse with warm water. |

I have also had great success
with a Strawberry mask that my Grandmother told me about. The
trick here is to use extremely ripe Strawberries. Add approximately
? cup of strawberries and a ? cup of cornstarch to the blender,
and mix until smooth. Apply the mixture to your face, and be
careful to avoid the area around your eyes. Leave it on for 30
minutes, and rinse it off with cool water.
The next facial mask is excellent
for blemished skin. Chop a ripened tomato into small pieces,
and place it in your blender. Add one tablespoon of lemon juice
and some instant oatmeal or rolled oats. Mix until it is all
combined. Do not mix for too long, as it will not stick to your
face. If it gets too thin, simply add more oatmeal. Apply the
mixture, and leave it on for 10 minutes. Scrub it off using a
warm, wet cloth.
There are many different ways
to care for your skin, and as many different products on the
market. In my experience, the most natural treatments provide
the best results. Try to avoid products that have heavy perfumed
scents or appear to use poor quality ingredients. These all natural
fruit facials have worked wonders for me. I hope you enjoy them.
