Homemade Skincare: Balancing Vegetable Facial Mask

As the seasons shift and I trade in my heavier winter foundations for a lighter, breezier summer look, I always notice a few pesky breakouts making an appearance. Oh, the joys of weather changes, right? That’s when I like to treat my skin to a little extra TLC. And what better way to pamper myself than with a DIY beauty mask using a few pantry essentials?

Here’s a mask that’s become my go-to for a glowing, refreshed face:

• Half a peeled cucumber

• 1 red apple

• 1 large egg white

• 1 teaspoon of lime juice

• 1 teaspoon of lemon juice

• A handful of fresh mint

• 2 drops of essential lime oil

After cleansing and exfoliating your skin (yes, don’t skip those steps!), apply this delicious concoction to your face—just be sure to avoid your eyes. Let it sit for 20 minutes while you sip on something refreshing, and then rinse it off with warm water. Instant glow, no spa appointment required.

It’s the perfect way to nurture your skin while embracing those warmer days. (Recipe courtesy of Bikini Luxe.) Enjoy! 💚
