Strawberry for Oily Skin

‘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.

Tomato for Skin

The beautiful ●tomato●.

This sweet little nugget of fruit has so many skin benefits, you won’t believe it! Starting with Vitamins A, C, and K, it also is high in lycopene which helps the body naturally resist UV damage.
It is a wonderful anti-aging ingredient that helps reduce cellular damage and is full of antioxidants that keep skin strong.

Acidity in tomatoes helps kill acne and tomatoes can also help shrink pores. Using tomato can be helpful for oily skin because it is naturally astringent and can help balance skin pH levels.

Easy ways to use tomato:
Soak cotton ball in tomato juice and rub on face. Leave 15 minutes and rinse. You can also mash tomato pulp (mix with yogurt if desired) and apply to face – a bit more messy – leave on up to one hour and rinse away.
Do regularly for results!

Tomato juice and pulp can also be very helpful for relieving pain and redness from sunburns. ☆★☆
