A Feast for Your Skin!

The following are home made facial masques using common foods. Tempting ingredients imbued with tasty aroma’s that nourish your skin achieving a healthy ‘fruit fabulous’ appearance.

TROPICAL BREEZE (Get the Caribbean Glow)
* For All Skin Types
* Omit the olive oil for oily, combination or acne prone skin

1 Banana
1 Mango
1 cup crushed pineapple (or canned pineapple)
1 tablespoon olive oil.
Use olive oil if you suffer from very dry skin

Mix banana, mango, pineapple and olive oil in a blender on slow speed until it becomes a thick liquid. Avoiding eye area, apply to face for 5 minutes. Wash off with warm water and your Motion Medica cleanser. Take a wash cloth and run cold water on it. Gently pat your face with it. Allow to air dry.

WITH EGG ON YOUR FACE (my apologies for the corny name)
* Best for oily prone skin
* Do not use this if you are allergic to eggs
* If using raw egg avoid getting into your mouth or eyes for risk of salmonella

1oz Pasteurised egg substitute. For very oily skin 1 regular raw egg.
1 Tablespoon of skim milk
Whisk both ingredients together in a ceramic bowl. Apply on face and leave on for 10 minutes. Wash off with warm water and cleanser. Gently pat dry skin.

STRAWBERRY FIELDS ( I'm a Big Beatles Fan)
