Strawberries contain a natural bleaching property that can help with uneven skin tone, and also helps to clean out the pores. The honey and peppermint help by moisturizing the skin, and cleansing the skin to help remove excess oil and dirt.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • 5 Ripe Strawberries
  • 1 Tablespoon of Honey
  • 4 Drops of Peppermint Oil
  1. Step 1

    Cut them stems off of the strawberries, and puree them into a thin mash in either a food processor or blender. Instead of using a food processor or blender, you could also just mash them with a potato masher or spatula in a small bowl.

  2. Step 2

    Put the honey and peppermint into the mixture, and stir gently together with a spatula or wooden spoon (only use a seasoned spoon or it could become stained from the strawberries).

  3. Step 3

    Take the mixture and spread all of it over the face evenly, being careful to avoid the eyes and the surrounding area. Massage the mixture into the skin in a circular motion, then rinse your hands off so the fingertips don't become stained from the juice of the strawberries.

  4. Step 4

    Wait 15 to 20 minutes minutes, then rinse the mixture off of your face with cool water and then gently towel dry the face.

  5. Step 5

    Follow with your regular toner and moisturizer.
