Kiwi/ Grapefruit Mask & Skin Tightening Mask

Food for your face...

But aren't talking about eating.

Dee Dee Helbig of Ava Bella Day Spa joined us to share some great skin tightening and whitening recipes.  The whitening (Kiwi/Grapefruit) mask helps with pigmentation.

Kiwi/ Grapefruit Mask

1/2 kiwi

juice & pulp of a 1/2 grapefruit

Mix together and put on face-will be runny-but you only want to use these without any thickening ingredients-to get the full benefit.

Kiwi helps to minimize pores- also has a whitening effect because of the vit. C in it-

Grapefruit is rich in citric acid (an alpha hydroxy acid), grapefruit extract is a powerful exfoliator and will loosen dead skin cells and exfoliate dry skin.

According to the Smell & Taste Treatment and Research Foundation in Chicago, research has shown that men believed women wearing grapefruit were, on average, six years younger.

Skin Tightening Mask

Note:Egg whites help tone and tighten the skin.

2 large pineapple chunks

1 beaten egg white

1 tsp of raw honey

Blend the ingredients in the blender.  Apply the mask on the face and lie down on a flat surface.  Leave on for 20 minutes.  Rinse well with tepid water and pat dry.

Note: Egg whites help tone and tighten the skin.

The benefit of the pineapple is the enzymes. Enzymes are mostly derived from "live  foods" such as fruits and vegetables. Not only are they able to break down fats, proteins and carbohydrates, they are also known to help remove toxins from the body.
