Blueberry skincare! Who knew something so small and inexpensive could be a great new aspect to your beauty regimen. Blueberries are full of age-defying antioxidants. In fact, they have more antioxidants than most fruits, especially if you buy organic. Try any of these beauty recipes below to feed your face – the right way!

Blueberry Facial Mask

  • 1/4 cup raw blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon raw honey
  • 1 tablespoon olive or grapeseed oil
  1. Using a blender, mash all of the ingredients together.
  2. Apply a thick layer of the mixture all over your face. Avoid your eyes and mouth.
  3. Leave the mask on for at least 5-10 minutes.
  4. Wipe off with a damp cloth.

Blueberry & Yogurt Skin Treatment

  • 10 blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon Greek yogurt
  1. Mix the blueberries and yogurt together.
  2. Spread mask all over your face.
  3. Let sit for at least 15-20 minutes.
