The effects of the aging process as well as sun damage are shown on our face, even if we don’t like it. That’s why we must nourish and protect for our skin to reduce the damage done by the environment or aging.

There are plenty of medical treatments and high-end products that may help you with this issue, but I’ve found it more gratifying and enjoyable to create organic, highly nourishing skin care treatments at my home.

This recipe for raspberry facial mask is ready for 10 minutes and contains just three powerful ingredients that will help tighten your skin, gently exfoliate dead cells and improve discoloration and blotchiness. It leaves the skin looking radiant (and also smelling delicious).

 Raspberry Facial Mask

You will need:

1/4 fresh or frozen raspberries

2 tsp. ground white clay

2 tsp. ground oatmeal

You can find white clay at natural health stores or online.

Raspberry Facial Mask recipe

Method of Preparation

Put the raspberries in a bowl. Take a fork and carefully mash them until smooth. Also leave the seeds and the juice. Stir in the ground oatmeal and clay until a paste forms. Leave the mixture sit for a few minutes to thicken. You can add some water, if it’s too thick.

Application

Put on some calming music and light an aromatic candle to set the mood. With your fingers, spread the mask on your face. When the mask is well spread, lie down face up. Allow the mask to become hard, taking deep breaths and enjoying the serenity. Once hardened, wash the mask off with lukewarm water. Then apply your moisturizer.
