DIY recipes: A grape seed scrub and mask

Face mask with grapes and yoghurt:

The vitamins in the grapes are a real miracle cure for the skin. Combined with yoghurt, this mask has a calming effect, moisturises and results in a fresh complexion.

Ingredients:

10-12 fresh grapes

1 tablespoon of plain yoghurt

1 teaspoon of honey

 

Method:

Wash the grapes thoroughly and then mash with a fork to extract juice and pulp. The skins of the grapes contain most of the resveratrol, so should be left in the mixture.

Add the yoghurt and honey and blend into a smooth paste.

Apply the mask to a cleansed face, leave on for 15-20 minutes.

Rinse off with lukewarm water and pat skin dry.

 

Grape seed scrub

A grape scrub gently exfoliates the skin by removing dead skin cells. This leaves the skin feeling soft and smooth.

Ingredients:

8-10 grapes

1 tablespoon of rolled oats

1 teaspoon of olive oil

 

Method:

Purée the grapes with a hand blender.

Mix the oat flakes and olive oil into the puréed grapes.

Gently massage the mixture onto the skin in circular motions.

Leave on for a few minutes, then rinse off with warm water.
