Strawberry Face Wipes

Snacks + facial wipes!
These juicy little gems are great for acne and oily skin! Their natural fruit acids help remove dead skin cells and balance pH levels to reduce excess oil.
One more reason that I say #wearyourfood.
Just give your skin a quick wipe with a leftover fresh slice, leave on 5-10 minutes, then rinse clean.

You can also find real strawberries in our DIY Strawberry Basil Fresh Mask. Now, back to my snacks…

Apple Peels

Easy peels with real fruit acids.
Alpha-hydroxy acids, like malic acid found in apples, naturally help exfoliate skin and remove the top layer of dead skin cells. They also promote a healthier, firmer skin tone. Get a quick and easy facial peel at home with fresh apple slices! Just wipe on, leave 5-10 minutes, then rinse clean.
Sensitive skin can be irritated by alpha-hydroxy acids, so do a patch test or try diluting some apple puree or apple juice with agave, oatmeal, or water (for a thin application). Mix with grapes, tomatoes, or strawberries for additional fruit acids, and keep skin protected from heavy sun exposure immediately after – it can temporarily increase sensitivity to sunburns on your fresh, new skin.
You can also make any of our Fresh Masks with real apple (or other) fruit juice to add extra effects to your face mask.
