Strawberry for Oily Skin

IMG_20140809_113357

‘s almost time to say goodbye to strawberries. ‘sad face’ Use these beauties while we’ve still got ’em in season!

Strawberries are a mild astringent which is especially helpful for oily skin.
They help balance excess oil and promote even, glowing skin tone while minimizing the appearance of pores. 

Strawberries are super rich in antioxidants too, which help to encourage new cell formation and the repair of damaged skin.

You can use strawberries right on your skin to take advantage of their pore-minimizing, astringent benefits.
Just slice in half and rub on your face.
Rinse right away or leave on for 10 minutes.
This is also a gentle exfoliator! 
You can even use strawberry slices (great for noses), or strawberry puree for an easy facial treatment.

We put real strawberry in our Strawberry Basil D.I.Y. Fresh Mask mix and our Summer Berry Bath Salts.
