Hydrating WATERMELON FACE MASK - One of the simplest spa treatments to whip up at home is an all-natural face mask, like in this hydrating watermelon-yogurt facial. Watermelon is like nature’s sports drink, with plenty of electrolytes, minerals, and vitamins readily available to your body to absorb. Watermelon is mostly water, and is a good source of the anti-oxidant flavanoids lycopene, beta-carotene, and lutein, vitamins B6 and A, electrolytes like potassium, and minerals like magnesium. Yogurt is alive, teeming with probiotic goodness that can not only help your insides, but you skin too. Lactic acid and enzymes present in the yogurt can aid your skin’s exfoliation process, as well as purifying the new skin that has been uncovered. For softer skin: 2 tablespoons yogurt (find yogurt starters here, how to make yogurt here) 1 teaspoon watermelon juice For aging skin: 2 tablespoons mashed avocado* 1 teaspoon watermelon juice *the avocado helps plump up your skin, as well as protecting it and providing deep moisture for thinner, more delicate skin To make the watermelon juice, simply press a spoon into the watermelon flesh until the juice is released. Softer skin: Mix the yogurt and watermelon juice together until fully blended and pink. Apply to your face and neck and leave for 10 minutes before rinsing. For aging skin: Mix the mashed avocado and watermelon juice together until fully blended and smooth. Apply to your face and neck and leave for 20 minutes before rinsing.
