Apple & Honey Face Mask for Clear Skin

Thursday, April 12, 2012

If you are suffering from tired looking, fatigue and stressed out skin then this apple & honey face mask is the one for you!  Give yourself a facial (and mental) uplift by applying this nourishing and protecting apple and honey face mask.

The apple contains vitamins A, B, and C and which your skin will absorb, contains antioxidant properties, and helps relieve damage from the sun.  In fact, apples have been used in many skincare remedies for sunburns due to these properties.  

Apples also contain glycolic acide which helps exfoliate and clear your pores.

Honey is antibacterial and has antioxidant and hygroscopic properties.  All that means is that honey will help get rid of topical bacteria and help retain moisture.  And, antioxidants are substances that help protect your skin from free radicals in the environment (chemicals in the air, etc.)

Ingredients

1 apple 
2 tablespoons of honey

Directions

Peel, core, and chop the apple into pieces and put into a blender/food processor.  Add the 2 tablespoons of honey and mix well.  Apply to your face with your fingers and make sure you avoid your eyes.  Leave on for about 10-15 minutes and rinse thoroughly with warm water.  Remember to tone and moisturize your skin.  If you don't have a toner, I've explained how you can use lemon juice as a toner here.

Enjoy beautiful skin!
