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
