Tested out a new DIY fresh fruit facial for a friend teaching an aromatherapy class! I feel more pressure when I am sharing a recipe – and honestly, (sometimes working with fresh fruit can take a little work to get the right consistency), but this one worked. Phewwww….
This fruit facial recipe is a great way to exfoliate and soothe your skin! Yogurt has natural anti-bacterial properties, and I use a thick, rich yogurt to blend with natural fruit acids.
Strawberry + Yogurt Facial:
- 1 cup greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp grapeseed oil
- 4-5 strawberries
- 3-4 drops lemon essential oil
Yogurt – natural source of lactic acid, to smooth and exfoliate skin.
Grapeseed Oil – rich source of anti-oxidants
Strawberries – natural source of salicylic acid
Lemon essential oil– anti-bacterial and astringent
Blend all ingredients together until smooth. I use a Magic Bullet, which does a great job blending, but any small blender will do. Apply the fruit and yogurt facial to a freshly cleansed face, and leave on for 10 minutes. You may feel a slight tingling from the fruit acids at work on your skin! Cleanse thoroughly with a warm washcloth and apply sunscreen.
