One of summer’s iconic fruits, watermelon is refreshing, juicy, and fun to eat. Seed spitting contest, anyone? But did you know that watermelon can also refresh your skin? Packed with antioxidants and vitamin C, watermelon can brighten your face and encourage cell growth. Here, we combined watermelon with Greek yogurt, which is full of lactic acid for exfoliation and for tightening pores, and honey, for its moisturizing and antibacterial properties, into a delicious DIY face mask. This recipe makes enough to share or even for a face mask party. Go ahead and lick your lips. It’s that good. 

Watermelon Honey Face Mask Recipe

Makes 1/2 cup, enough for approximately 12 masks

Ingredients
¼ cup cubed watermelon
¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
2 tsp honey

Equipment
Blender
Measuring spoon
Jar

1. Add the watermelon, yogurt, and honey to a blender and blend until smooth.

2. Transfer to a jar and use immediately or seal tightly and store in the refrigerator.

3. To use immediately, apply a thin layer, about 2 teaspoons of the mask evenly to clean skin using a brush, or your fingers. Leave on for 20 minutes. Remove with a damp washcloth.

4. Refrigerate the remaining mask mixture for up to 1 week, or divide into 2-teaspoon portions and freeze for up to one month. If the mask separates slightly, stir to combine before using.
