Strawberry and Lemon Face Mask
If you have oily skin then, this mask can be your saviour!
As we now know, Strawberry is rich in salicylic acid and further the alpha hydroxyl acids present in this miraculous fruit can help in controlling oil (sebum) production in your skin pores.
While, lemon is a natural astringent and can help in tightening your facial pores. Further, the antibacterial properties of lemon can kill acne-causing germs and work towards reducing the buildup of bacteria and dirt on your skin.
Together, both of these ingredients can work wonders for your skin. They can not only remove excess oil but can also de-tan your skin and lighten any stubborn pigmentation on your face.
Method
- Take 2-3 strawberries and mash them using a fork in a small bowl.
- Then, add 1 teaspoon of lemon juice to the bowl.
- Mix both the ingredients well to form a thick mixture. Do remember that you can increase or decrease the quantity of the strawberries to reach the desired consistency.
- Apply the face mask evenly on your face and neck.
- Let it sit on for about 30 minutes.
- Once the time is up, rinse it off with lukewarm water. Pat dry and apply any water-based moisturizer.
- To achieve the desired results, apply this DIY face mask once or twice a week.

Strawberry, Honey, And Milk Cream Face Mask
If you have sensitive skin and you want to reduce the appearance of acne or even brighten your skin tone, then this can be your go-to mask!
Honey is also one of the best natural humectants and can give life to your dry and dull skin by adding moisture to it. It not only leaves your skin soft, smooth, and supple but with its antioxidant properties, it can also help in destroying germs or any other skin impurities and can treat acne as well.
While heavy cream, obtained from milk, can heal dry skin and can also help in repairing damaged skin as the milk is packed with several nutrients. Trust us, the cream will give your skin a soft lustrous feel!
Now, if you have oily skin, then instead of heavy cream, you can add yoghurt to your face mask. Why? The lactic acid present in yoghurt makes it a great exfoliator that gently removes all the dirt, dead skin cells, and excess oils from your skin's surface while retaining the natural moisture of the skin
Combining these ingredients with the star of the mask - Strawberry - will leave you with rejuvenated skin and will definitely make your skin glowing and healthy.
