Two weeks ago our manager Olga Nazarova showed us how to choose the proper skin care according to your skin type. It’s high time to continue her story. Today we have 4 amazing recipes of strawberry masks that will enhance and rejuvenate your skin! Be sure that now you’re going to add another beauty secret to your arsenal.
But before going on with the recipes, let’s answer the question: What makes strawberry good for the skin? Here are three unbeatable arguments.
Vitamin C. If you are following our blog, you know that Vitamin C is one of the main weapons for beating the free radicals. They are the main enemies of beauty and youth. They destroy the skin cells, lower the level of oxygen in the skin and speed up the appearance of wrinkles;
Folic acid. The strawberry is rich in folic acid which is known for boosting the skin regeneration.
Fiber. The fiber in the strawberries is the great addition to your diet. How does it relate to the skin? Adding fiber to your ration will cut the chances of that terrible acne and pimples on your face.
Was it convincing enough for you? Then, let’s get back to our strawberry masks.
1. The moisturizing power of strawberry for dry skin
If you have dry skin, the number one task is to moisturize it and get the healthy look back. Strawberry will help you to nourish the skin and even smooth out the wrinkles. And if you add some oil to the strawberry, you’ll get the super-nourishing mask for dry skin.
Ingredients:
- Strawberry – 10 berries;
- Peach or apricot oil – 1 teaspoon;
- Fresh grape – 3 berries.
Take the grape seeds out, mash the strawberries and grape together, add oil and stir. Put on the face with the massaging movements. Leave on for 15-20 minutes and then rinse off with warm water.
2. Clean away the extra oil with strawberries
For getting rid of the annoying extra shine, you can use the strawberry together with the fresh egg white. Such mask will thoroughly clean your skin, giving it fresh and healthy look.
Ingredients:
- Strawberry – 7 berries;
- 1 fresh egg white;
Mash the strawberries and add the white. Whisk everything properly to the foam consistency. Put on the face and leave for 15-20 minutes, then wash off with warm water.
3. Tasty combination for combination skin
The combination skin needs both moisturizing and proper cleansing. That is why we have a tasty recipe for you – the mask with strawberries and green apples. The apples provide more thorough cleansing. But don’t overuse it, or you will make your skin too dry. The low-fat cream increases the moisturizing effect.
Ingredients:
- Strawberry – 7 berries;
- 1 green apple;
- Low-fat cream – 2 teaspoons.
Mash the strawberries and apples in the blender and add the cream. Put the mask on the face for 15 minutes and then wash the face with the warm water.
4. The cleanse & moisturize strawberry combo
The best option for normal skin is the mask that moisturizes and cleanses at the same time. Overcleansing isn’t good for such skin as it will make it oily. That is why the moisturizing component is essential.
What you need here is to prepare the mask based on strawberries and quail eggs. The eggs will help to nourish and regenerate the skin.
Ingredients:
- Strawberry – 7 berries;
- 1 quail egg yolk;
- Apricot oil – 1 teaspoon.
Mash the strawberries and mix them with egg yolk and oil. Put on the face for 15-20 minutes and rinse off with warm water. This mask will make the skin gentle and extremely soft. As it does not contain any harsh ingredients, you can use this mask on the daily basis.
