Monday Make Your Own - Very Berry Face Mask

I have been watching old re-runs of last of the Summer Wine (i'm old before my time)

and decided that I should make the most of the last of our Summer berries

to construct a yummy but effective berry based face mask.

What you will need...

8 Blackberries

8 Raspberries

6 Strawberries

50ml Plain Natural Yoghurt

50g of Oatmeal (optional)

(You can alter the amount of berries to suit your own needs.)

Instructions

Either lightly blitz the fruit in a blender or mash until you have a thick purée,

combine with the yoghurt and oatmeal, then leave to sit for 10 minutes.

Stir again and you are good to go...one of the simplest face masks I have made.

I recommend leaving on the skin for 10 minutes

and before removing gently massage the mixture into the skin to exfoliate

without being harsh on the skin.

As this is completely fresh it will keep when refrigerated for up to three days.

Why?

All of the above fruits contain antioxidants which can help to prevent ageing,

I also find this mixture to be great on my blemish prone skin and find it to help clear my skin a little.

Natural Yoghurt is great for sensitive skin as it calms and moisturises

and Oatmeal is a natural exfoliant again great for sensitive skin types that can't always cope with

normal scrubs.
