DIY Strawberry-Yogurt Hair & Facial Mask

Ingredients:

10 Strawberries (or as many as needed, depending on hair length/density)

1 carton of plain Greek Yogurt (or 2, depending on hair length/density)

Benefits:

Strawberries provide omega-3 fatty acids that fortify your strands and help your skin retain moisture. They’re also rich in B vitamins which help stimulate hair growth and promote elasticity for skin. The Greek Yogurt is a rich source of protein which helps your strands heal from the inside out and keeps your skin clear and glowing.

Directions:

In a bowl, mash up the 10 strawberries (or blend them for a creamier consistency) and then pour the greek yogurt on top to create a strawberry-yogurt paste. Apply liberally from root to tip (on hair) and massage onto face until fully covered. Leave on hair and skin for 30 min. Rinse (both) with warm water followed by a cold water splash (closes cuticles on hair, reduces pores on face).


Nothing cooler than killing two birds with one stone! And using all-natural ingredients, too! Enjoy your glowing summery face and shiny, moisturized hair! <3 (and try not to eat it all)

suite7beautytalk: Made raw &amp; organic lip balm last night following HeyFranHey&#8217;s recipe - love the results! I’m allergic to Beeswax so had to tweak the ingredients a bit &amp; also added a lil Peppermint flavor for taste - you can see everything I used &amp; the final result at Suite7beautyTalk.com. I see you used Candelilla Wax instead of Beeswax. That&#8217;s also a great alternative for Vegans! Glad you loved it &lt;3

Q:Hey Fran! I have dry skin (like, you can see the skin cells type of dry). I'm drinking 1-2 liters of water a day. I use black soap and I made a blend of shea butter, cocoa butter, coconut oil, olive oil, and water to use on my skin. What else can I do?! I really don't want to start using medicated lotions. I'd love to stay as natural as possible.

Hey :) As much as I love the health benefits of african black soap, it can be extremely drying! I remember using it on my face and it would make my skin feel so stripped. I would suggest swapping your soap for a nice, skin softening and moisturizing body wash like the Shea Moisture Raw Shea Butter Wash sold at Target and Walmart for $9.99! And don’t forget to combine it with exfoliating gloves so you can remove dead skin cells and allow for your skin to be more receptive to moisture! Watch my Skin Health video here. Hope that helps <3

Q:Hiiii! I love your YouTube videos and your blog! I was wondering if you had any suggestions for like an "all natural" or "organic" face wipe for removing makeup? I about to start OCM for cleansing my face but I'd just like to wipe the makeup off before I cleanse....or should I not even worry about that? Thanks in advance for your help!

Hey! Thank you :) Correct me if i’m wrong (I don’t wear any!) but don’t most people remove makeup with oil? You can basically kill 2 birds with 1 stone by using the Oil Cleansing Method. If you feel you need an even deeper cleanse, try wiping your face (after the OCM) with alcohol-free witch hazel. The Thayers brand sold at GNC is awesome!
