How can i make a Strawberry and sour cream face mask?

Besides, for some stranger reason strawberry has been on sale this past couple of weeks in all my grocery stores. I know it isn鈥檛 local or anything. But delicious strawberry this time a year really helps to take the blues away鈥?And makes summer seem more real.





Now how does strawberry tie to organic skin care?





First of all, it is a natural exfoliant. Its gentle acidic nature can take care of all those flaky dead cells on top of the skin. It鈥檚 salicylic acid is a good combatant for acne and black heads. Strawberry also has antiseptic and skin lighting properties.





Plus it has all those wonderful vitamins and antioxidants. And don鈥檛 forget folic acid, which is essential for healthy new cells! No wonder strawberry is such a star in the do it yourself skin care department.





So how to go about making a strawberry mask?





It really is easy. You don鈥檛 even need any special skills or tools. In fact, it鈥檚 so easy and cheap that I still don鈥檛 understand why would anybody go to an expensive salon and pay hundreds of dollars for a skin mask鈥?br>




If you have oily skin, all you need is strawberry and a fork. Just mush it up and apply on your skin for 15 to 20 minutes. Than rinse with lukewarm water.





If your skin is dry, add sunflower oil to the mush (1:1). Leave the mask on your face for 15 鈥?20 minutes. (You can also use olive or corn oil).





Strawberry juice is a great skin lightener. It鈥檚 effective for freckles and other spots. Just squeeze the juice out of the berries, then using a cotton ball spread the juice on the face.





And here are a couple of slightly more elaborate recipes:





Mix 5 strawberries with 1 table spoon of milk and one tea spoon of honey. Blend it into a state of pur茅e. Spread the mixture on your face for 15 to 20 minutes. Gently wash off with warm water using a cotton ball.





For dry skin you may also try mixing a few strawberries with one teaspoon of sour cream and one teaspoon honey. This is especially good for flaky skin.





You can also use cream (2-3 teaspoons) and milk (1 tbl spoon or so).





I hope you enjoy these recipes and feel more summery too! Treat yourself to a natural skin care spa. It will cost you a few cents at most. Which is a great thought to help you relax and enjoy being pampered guilt free.How can i make a Strawberry and sour cream face mask?
I prefer using whipped cream when I make the strawberry mask. Sour cream and strawberries are both cleansers and are good for oily skin and skin that is prone to inflammation. If you have this condition, than just mash some strawberries with sour cream and apply on the face. Let it rest and then rinse off. However, if you're just looking to cleanse your face and add some smoothness to it, than apply the whipped cream recipe:
