How about making your own skin care mask with a tasty fruit and some honey?

Ingredients:

• 4-5 very ripe strawberries
• 2 tsp. heavy cream
• 1 tsp. honey
  

Instructions:

1. Put 4-5 ripe strawberries in a sieve and rinse them with lukewarm water. If you want your facial mask to be ultra cool and refreshing, rinse with cool water (not freezing cold) after the warm water. Pull all the stalks off and dry the fruit with a clean cloth.
2. Tip the strawberries into a bowl and mash them with a potato masher. If the strawberries are particularly soft or soggy, mash with a strong fork instead.
3. Add 2 teaspoons of heavy whipped cream, followed by 1 teaspoon of honey. Mix them in with the strawberries until a smooth mixture is made. Make sure it is blended well and not just all stuffed together.
4. Apply the mixture to your face and neck generously, keeping away from sensitive areas like your eyes. Put a little extra on dry skin areas, and if the dry skin is around your lips, it’s okay to get some on your tongue if you over-apply. All the ingredients are edible.
5. Leave the facial mask on for about 20 minutes in a room that’s not too warm and not too cold.
6. Remove with warm water and a flannel. Don’t scrub too hard, but make sure you get everything off. You don’t want bits of cream, strawberries and honey stuck to your face.
