Writer\u2019s note:<\/em><\/strong> Missed the <\/em>first post<\/em><\/a> in this series? Check out my list of five fruits to add to your summer diet to keep your skin looking and feeling healthy.<\/em><\/p>\n Fruits are not only tasty and healthy when eaten, but they can be great applied to your skin, too! Once you get passed the slightly strange idea of lathering food on your body, you\u2019ll be on your way to beautiful, healthy skin.<\/p>\n These five fruits and many others are full of nutrients that can be combined with common pantry items to make inexpensive, all-natural skincare<\/a> remedies. Read on to learn about my experience using a kiwi facial mask and more recipes and tips to pamper your skin using fruit!<\/p>\n Attention: <\/strong>If you have never applied fruits to your skin before, it is best to use a small slice\u00a0and test it on your skin. If you feel any discomfort, please don’t continue with these skincare treatments.<\/p>\n I made an easy facial mask<\/a> using one kiwi fruit, two strawberries, and a half slice of peeled cucumber in less than five minutes using a food processor and a handheld strainer, to separate the fruits\u2019 juices and pulp. The tropical aroma of the fruit blend invoked relaxing thoughts of sandy beaches and ocean waves. Then I came back to reality and remembered I was still in my kitchen and stored the liquids in my refrigerator to use later for a quick toner. Once my fruit mixture was a consistency of a paste, I cleaned my face with lukewarm water then applied the mask directly to my damp skin.<\/p>\n I instantly began to feel a tingling sensation from the fruits\u2019 natural acids, but the cucumber helped soothe this right away. \u00a0I let the paste stay on my face for about 20 minutes then rinsed with lukewarm water, patted dry and applied moisturizer. My face felt smoother, softer and cleaner. I\u2019ll definitely use this \u201ctropical\u201d face mask again and recommend it to all of my girlfriends!!<\/p>\n Go ahead and ditch those beauty products for some fruity, homemade skincare remedies. They are inexpensive and easy to make from ingredients you may already have in your home. These fruits and so many others are staples in any girl\u2019s (and guy’s) beauty regime for radiant, healthy skin this summer.<\/p>\n Image Credit:<\/strong> Nina Matthews Photography<\/a> via photo pin<\/a> cc<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Fruits are not only tasty and healthy when eaten, but they can be great applied to your skin, too!
