After
all the wrapping paper has been recycled, the sugar cookies have been
devoured, the glitter washed off and the eggnog lapped up, your bod
is gonna need a li’l rest. What better way to kick off your
winter-break relaxation time than with a Blueberry & Cucumber
Detox Mask? Thanks to Jasmina Aganovic, Creator of Stages of Beauty
mystagesofbeauty.com, you’ll be able to lay off the makeup for a
couple of days and whip up Jasmina’s recipe with stuff you’ve
already got in your kitchen:
Blueberry
& Cucumber Detox Mask
•
1 Tbsp crushed ripe blueberries (lots
of antioxidants mean free radical protection)
•
1 Tbsp lemon juice (Citrus + Vitamin
C mean brighter skin)
•
1 Tbsp cucumber juice (hooray for
cooling, soothing, de-puffing and refreshing)
•
2 Tbsp baking soda + water (helps
dislodge blackheads and control oiliness)
Directions: Combine all
ingredients together in a bowl. Using your fingers, apply mask onto
your face. You will feel a tingling feeling that comes from the
baking soda. Let it sit on the face for 15-20 minutes. To remove, wet
fingers with warm water and gently swipe over your face: The baking
soda granules will give you extra exfoliation, while the citrus
enzymes brighten the skin. Gently wash off and pat your face dry.
Voila, a renewed bright and fresh complexion!
