In case you didn't know guys, strawberries aren't just delicious fruits ;D They have salicylic acid which helps with acne and blemishes, as well as antioxidants and the ability to even skin tone and reduce pore appearance.
In this facial there is also honey, which of course is known for making your skin super soft just by itself! Also, there is starch in this recipe, in which you can use either potato or corn starch. In substitute for the starch you can also use rice flour.

But before you make this super yummy facial, remember to test this stuff out on your skin first! Even if you aren't allergic to strawberries when you eat them, they can totally react differently on your skin. Same for the starch!

Tips: Start with a freshly washed face, and if you want, put a warm towel on your face for a couple of minutes before you put the facial on to open up your pores~

Strawberry Facial (For all Skin types~)

2-3 fresh strawberries
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon starch or rice flour

In a small bowl, mash all the ingredients together to form a sort of paste. Spread this on your face and neck and relax for 20 minutes. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry.

Use this facial twice a week~

VARIATIONS

Strawberries&Cream Facial (For Dry to Normal skin)
(believe it or not, but cream is excellent for dry skin!)

2-3 fresh strawberries
1 tablespoon fresh cream
1 tablespoon honey

In a small bowl, mash the strawberries to a viscous pulp >:'D
Add the cream and honey, combine. Spread on face and neck, relax for 15-20 minutes.
If you have extra... ;D it's super yummy.

Do not save extra facial mixtures! I don't know how long it keeps for, so I suggest you use it up in one day!

What if you're like deathly allergic to strawberries, even on skin contact? *raises hand* Any alternatives to get the same effect? Like a different fruit?

I really want to do one of these, but I'm allergic to honey, and any dairy makes me break out really badly.

As for the first facial you mentioned, do you think I could use agave? I hear it's almost the same as honey...

Oh, really? :< Poo!

I'm not sure if agave would work per say, specifically because I have not heard of it in a facial/have not researched it yet.

But I'll check it out for you and give you a reply when I'm done :3 If it's not possible to use it I'll look for a non dairy/honey facial for you and try it out sometime soon ^u^~

So it was confirmed that agave could be used to replace honey for facials because of their similarity, so I tried researching some homemade facials using it to get reviews on the substitute.
So far I haven't found anything however, mostly just products with agave in it. You could try it out for yourself, I wish I had agave on me to test it out for you >_< Sorry!
