What follows are simple recipes with easily acquired ingredients. Many include in-season fruits like blueberries and strawberries. You probably already have most of what you need in your refrigerator or cupboard.
So scramble up your concoction, put a Do-Not-Disturb sign on the door and treat yourself to a facial.
Hydrating Exfoliating Mask - I didn't bother with the brush for this and the results were still glorious. Thanks to Kate Somerville
Blueberry Facial Mask - this one will hydrate and nourish your skin. I was inspired to try a blueberry mask by my friend, Keshyra aka Enviromommy. Thanks to Charmaine Leah at Glamology for the recipe.
Mash together well with a fork or puree in a blender:
1/4 cup blueberries (organic is preferable) 1/2 tsp honey
1/2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
Slather over face or gently work into face with fingertips
Leave on a total of 15 minutes, then rinse well with warm water.
My skin felt very soft and hydrated when I was done
