Mixed Berries Ultimate Face Mask
Ingredients

1 teaspoon ground almonds (optional)
I
This mask is the perfect blend of ingredients to brighten (it will give a radiance!) with the Strawberry AHA (alpha hydroxy acids) which has a brightening and exfoliating effect. There is an amazing blend of antioxidants from all the berries especially with the high levels of Vitamin C and A. There is also Vitamin K for supporting blood vessels, an amazing blend of essential minerals for skin health, notably magnesium, zinc and potassium.
Oats give a soothing and healing benefit when applied topically to the skin, honey has incredible anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal and healing properties, and natural yoghurt for its probiotic effect balancing the skin acid alkaline balance and soothing benefits. Coconut oil acts as a beautiful skin hydrator with nourishing, anti-inflammatory rich oil, packed with vitamin E, an oil soluble antioxidant along with ground almond which is also rich in antioxidants. Natural oils give a mild exfoliating effect along with the slightly softer oats to further smooth and refresh the surface of the skin.
How to:
Place all ingredients into a smoothie maker and blend for 20 to 30 seconds until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed. Apply with your hands (it can be a little messy). Natural fruit acids in this mix may cause a mild tingling sensation. Massage over the face and neck, to work the mask into the skin and activate the exfoliating properties, avoiding the eye area. Leave on the skin for 5 to 10 minutes, remove with a warm damp flannel or cloth. The skin can feel zingy and has a lovely glow afterwards.
