Strawberry To The Rescue

The scorching summer heat and sweat can exacerbate oily, acne-prone skin. To clear blemishes, the secret is.... STRAWBERRIES! The delicious berries contain more vitamin C than citrus fruit. This important nutrient dissolves pore-clogging oil, and because strawberries are rich in antioxidants, it stops free radicals from damaging skin cells.


For a skin-clearing mask, do this: In a bowl, mash 8 berries with a fork. Stir in 2 tablespoons honey and 1 teaspoon lemon juice. Apply to face. Let sit for 15 minutes, then rinse thoroughly. Refrigerate excess mask in an airtight container. It will last for up to 1 week.
