Peaches, plums and nectarines contain large amounts of alpha-hydroxy acids, or AHAs. For a peachy complexion, go to the source: peaches! This glowing fruit is wonderful for the skin, as a food and as a facial mask ingredient. Peaches contain fruit acids that exfoliate, plus Vitamin C and Vitamin A, which are both excellent for the skin. Try these ideas for making a peach facial mask at home.
How to Make a Peach Facial Mask
Start with a soft, ripe peach. If you only have hard peaches, cook one gently in hot water until it becomes soft.
Peel the peach and mash with a fork.
Add 1 tbsp. honey and 1 tbsp. oatmeal, either as-is or ground in a food processor or coffee grinder.
Peach Facial
1 medium peach
1 tablespoon of honey
oatmeal (as needed)
Take the peach and cook it until it is soft. Mash the cooked peach using a fork. Next, add the honey and enough oatmeal until the mixture is thick. Apply the mask to the skin and let it sit on the skin for about ten minutes. Rinse off the peach facial masque with cool clean water.
Homemade peach Facial Mask Recipe
Simply cut a slice from a ripe peach and rub it all over your face. You'll look pretty silly with peach smeared on your face, but leave it on for 20 or more minutes and then rinse off. If the peaches in your supermarket are less than juice-dripping ripe, as is the case for most of the year, you can take a whole peach, pit it, and puree it in the blender and smear that on your face.
