I've come up with a new facial!!!!!I LOVE IT !!!!
it's so tasty.
check it out
all you need is
Spring water
2-3 large strawberries
a spoonful of honey
half a teaspoon of sugar
and
a squeeze of lime (optional)
Slice the strawberries very thinly, leaving the centers intact.
Drizzle with honey and leave until the juice is released from the cellular matrix.
Squeeze a bit of lime into the mixture.
Slip a slice from the glass and drip the excess juice, then apply the strawberry onto your face.
Repeat until your face is covered. Pay attention to your forehead, around your eyes and mouth.Leave on for 15-20 minutes then remove strawberries.
With clean fingertips, massage your face in tiny circular motions, until all the liquid is absorbed and the honey starts to become sticky again.
Lightly rinse your face with spring water and pat dry.
Feel the suppleness, the smoothness! Your face is now moisturized and nourished with vitamins and minerals.
The fruit (malic) acid of the strawberry and the (citric) acid of the lime, plus the (glycolic) acid of the sugar, enhances product absorption and promotes blood flow, collagen production, as well as skin brightening from exfoliation and the inherent properties of the acids. You can now apply your favorite precious oil or moisturizer because your skin is primed and ready to face the day. Also you can lick your lips as the juice drips and it is delicious.
Tip: (Optional) adding probiotic yogurt will add lactic acid which is another alpha hydroxy acid that enhances the appearance of your skin.
This is where I read about the acids and note the complete list of their sources on the bottom:

When I did this mask the other day I actually got the idea from my strawberry lime juice. I was washing my thermos and the slices of strawberry had all lost their colour. I was using a coconut soap block for the dishes cos I didnt have anymore dish soap or the will or the extra dollar to buy it, so after washing a huge load of dishes with no gloves and hot water my hands were feeling pretty dry...then came the thermos and me scooping out the strawberry slices and thats when I noticed the amazing moisturizing properties of the fruit and sugar mixture. Then I started playing with the gloop and noticed hey this stuff is really slippery and omg it sticks to my hand then I was totally not doing the dishes anymore and just playing with water and strawberry goop.
So basically what Im trying to say is to make a hydrogel mask with actual gel like strawberries you have to make a large strawberry lime juice and use those strawberries because those ones have a more gelatinous texture. BUT if you want a nice acidic exfoliant mask you can follow the above instructions. After the mask (above) I did notice a slight tingling around my face and for a minute there thought, oh my god my face is coming off but then I went to the washroom and patted my cheeks while looking into the mirror and saw my skin and was like oh this is fine.
this is the original strawberry juice idea in my notebook after i come up with an idea i try to jot it down as quickly as possible before i forget. so many lost brilliant ideas. sigh.
heres what the true hydrogel strawberry looks like
