DIY Hydrating Grape Mask

April 13, 2011 by Nellie Lee Luhrmann 2 Comments

A  hydrating mask for all skin types. Crushed grapes are very soothing, cooling and toning to the skin. Below is a recipe small enough for one or two applications. Mask once made is to be stored in the fridge and used within 4-5 days. Remember to wash the grapes thoroughly before making your mask.

YOU WILL NEED

* 1 tbsp Crushed Grape Pulp ( I would go for a darker grape as these have more antioxidants, the darker the better )

* 1 tspn guar gum

PROCEDURE

1.Mash the grapes to a pulp and drain off any excess juice

2. Slowly add the guar gum ( sprinkle it ) to the crushed grapes, whisking it as you go. Preferably use an electric hand mixer.

3. Once you have a paste spread it onto your face and let sit for 10 – 15 minutes

4. Wash off with tepid water

To soften and moisturise dry skin add some tahini to the mix

THINGS YOU MAY NOT OF KNOWN ABOUT GRAPES

Grapes are known for having a high nutritional value. Grapes are rich in vitamin C and vitamin K. They contain low levels of cholesterol, fat and sodium. Grapes are known for containing proteins, carbohydrates, dietary fibers, vitamins, minerals, calcium, iron, sodium, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, riboflavin, thiamin, folic acid and amino acids. They contain high amounts of caffeic acid, which is a strong cancer-fighting substance. Grapes contain flavonoids, which are powerful antioxidants.

Perimenopause Calm Down Coloring Sheets (For When You Want to Scream into a Pillow)

Free Printable Downloads for Women 40+ Navigating the Hormonal Rollercoaster

Let’s be real—there are days when being a woman over 40 feels like riding a hormone-fueled tilt-a-whirl without the safety bar. Welcome to perimenopause, my friends. If you’ve ever found yourself sweating while standing in front of the fridge, crying over a puppy food commercial, or forgetting why you walked into a room (again), you’re in good company.

That’s exactly why I created these Perimenopause Calm Down Coloring Sheets—printable pages made especially for those “I swear if someone breathes near me I’m going to scream” moments.

What Are Calm Down Sheets?

These aren’t your typical mandala coloring pages. Nope. These were lovingly illustrated with women in perimenopause and menopause in mind—think messy buns, mood swings, and a whole lot of caffeine. Each sheet includes relatable cartoons, cheeky quotes, and stress-relieving doodles that are way more satisfying to color than pretending you’re fine.

They’re perfect for:

Rage coloring during a hot flash

Cooling down after snapping at your partner for chewing too loudly

Unwinding with a glass of wine and a pack of colored pencils

Quiet moments when your brain fog lifts just enough to enjoy something creative

Why Coloring Helps During Perimenopause

There’s science behind this, promise. Coloring helps lower cortisol levels, focus your mind, and gently ease anxious thoughts. It’s like a mindfulness practice, but one that doesn’t require Lycra or a meditation app subscription. And let’s be honest—when the world feels a bit much, giving a snarky mug or frazzled cartoon woman a splash of lavender and hot pink is downright cathartic.
