Ahhh time strawberries… this is my favorite time of the summer ! As the abundance of small red fruit on it is period is important not to deprive skin !! Here is a super easy recipe and really effective. Strawberry gives great glow to the skin ! Make all the same test on the inside of your elbow for possible allergic reactions to strawberry.

4 small strawberries
1 tip of gelling
1 net of hydrosol of your choice (little more but really not necessary)


Difficulty : star greystar3 greystar3 greystar3 ––Conservation : not

Spend your strawberries in a blender to obtain a beautiful almost liquid puree. Add your gelling (xanthane, of guar gum, Agar Agar or autre) until a semi firm dough. Apply this one on your entire face and neck… of course, avoiding eyes and… uh mouth if you ever get there to resist :-D.

Leave on for approximately 10 minutes. Remove the water using a washcloth. You will see this is amazing… complexion become much clearer !

Rest assured that mask fits comfortably on the skin with the gelling. The small inconvenience of the mask well… cela fera soit peur à votre chéri ou il voudra vous croquer un peu 😀

Additions can :
Honey… it does not pass next to all its virtues… So a good ally for this mask.
Essential oils… if you have something definite to treat if not sniff… you lose the smell of delicious strawberry.
Clay… not bad if one wants to detoxify the skin.

Here's a little recipe that I made specially for the contest “Only happy in the sun“, his theme was that of the animal, on devait faire un produit bicolore et avec du beurre de karité. Au début je ne savais pas bien quoi faire et c’est en regardant mon petit chat jouer que l’idée m’est venue. Il jouait comme à chaque jour avec sa jolie balle coloré… I thought hum… a game ball bath ? Ah mais ça ressemble bien à une méduse. So there… jellyfish bathrooms are born !! Rest assured that it does not sting but wish to foam and moisturizes your skin while fun ! Bon vous me direz… it is perhaps not great for the theme in question but the important thing is good that I had lots of fun to have them !

10 ml tensio actif Alpha
8 ml tensio actif Beta
