Some gals think the only products that can properly
combat acne are those containing hard-to-pronounce synthetic ingredients, however this is not the case. In fact, one of the key ingredients used in acne-fighting products is
salicylic acid and this can be
derived naturally from a variety of different sources, one of which being
strawberries!
So if you have unwanted acne and want to treat it as naturally as possible, give this little
DIY mask a try...
- Place a hand full of strawberries into a bowl with an equal amount of natural yoghurt
- Mash the ingredients together until you achieve a smooth consistency
- Spread the mask evenly over your entire face and neck
- Leave the mask on for 15 minutes and then rinse well
If you're not one for getting your hands dirty, I would recommend using the
Mario Badescu Strawberry Tonic Mask (£17.95
beautybay.com / $18.00
mariobadescu.com) as a quick and easy fix. It is a strawberry filled,
alpha hydroxy rich,
clay mask that absorbs surface oils and debris to keep skin clear and healthy. It also contains the soothing botanical
Balsam Peru, which helps to
reduce redness and any
minor irritation.
