I love this mask. I got sick of buying expensive mask. Thanks to Carrie I started searching the net for masks. When I add some pumpkin too it (instead of the peaches) it acts more like an exfoliant for me. I also have sensitive skin.
Just Peachy Facial Mask (fruit acid peel)
(normal skin)
1 medium peach
1 tablespoons honey
oatmeal
Cook peach until its soft, mash with a fork, add honey and oatmeal until its a thick consistency. Apply to skin. Let sit for 10 minutes, rinse well with cool water.
Peaches, plums and nectarines contain large amounts of alpha-hydroxy acids, or AHAs. AHAs are a buzzword in the world of exfoliants. Like most 'discoveries' AHAs, in one form or another, have actually been used for centuries. The gentle exfoliation of fruit peels speeds up cell renewal, leading to healthier skin tone. The AHAs in these fruits help soften wrinkles, sun spots, age spots, blemishes and can even unclog pores.
Honey is primarily composed of fructose, glucose and water. It also contains other sugars as well trace enzymes, minerals, vitamins and amino acids.
Oatmeal is highly absorptive, hypoallergenic, and helps to soften skin. Oats have the best amino acid balance of all the cereal grains (amino acids work as water-binding agents in skin care products). Oats have also been clinically shown to help heal dry, itchy skin. Oat grains and straw appear in shampoos, dusting powders, moisturizers, and cleansing bars and more.
Storage: Most recipes require refrigeration since they don't contain preservatives. Shelf Life is approximately 1 week. |

Thanks for that Winnie! I'm going to try it myself, my skin needs a little pick me up at the moment but I've already waaaaay overspent this month so something so inexpensive is a blessing.  |
