I am all for homemade beauty treatments, so I decided to share my top 3 favorites with you so you can try them out at home.
Combine 4 mashed strawberries with 1 tablespoon of heavy cream and a dollop of honey. The heavy cream is great for dry skin, but if you have normal skin you can substitute the heavy cream for sour cream, and acne-prone skin should substitute the heavy cream for plain greek yogurt. Mix it up and apply to your skin for 10-15 minutes, avoiding your eye area. If you have a strawberry allergy raspberries can be substituted for the strawberries.
Treatment #2 "Coconut and Rose Hail Oil"
Melt 1/2 cup of coconut oil in a pot, and then add in 2 tablespoons of rose water and 1/2 cup of fresh rose petals (this is about half a rose worth of petals). Bring it to a low boil, and then continue cooking for 3 more minutes. Remove from the heat and let it cool before straining it through a coffee filter. Apply the oil to your scalp and hair, and then wrap it up in a towel for 20 minutes or so before shampooing out.
Treatment #3 "Strawberry Sugar Body Scrub"
Combine 7-10 mashed strawberries with a teaspoon of olive oil, a teaspoon of vegetable oil, and as much granulated sugar as needed to make the mixture as gritty as you would like. Then apply this to your entire body and rub in. Then rinse it off. I would recommend applying this in your shower as it is very messy and sticky! Your skin will be so soft afterwards.
I loved the face mask!!!
