DIY Beauty Treats


There are many treats for your skin that you can whip up at home for an instant pick-me-up with the food in your fridge. This peach and cucumber face mask recipe, from Spa Magazine, instantly tightens and brightens the complexion. Ripe with enzymes and vitamin A, peaches help tighten pores. Cucumbers nourish connective tissue and rejuvenate the skin thanks to their abundance of silica. Plus, their ascorbic and caffeic acids prevent water retention, making them popular for reducing puffiness. Puree ½ peach and ½ a cucumber in a blender until smooth. Apply mixture to face, and leave on for 20 minutes. Rinse off to reveal fresh, glowing skin.
