STEPS IN DETAIL
  1. Put 1-2 strawberries 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 fork/spoon
  3. Add 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.
