Hello and happy Summer! It is truly an honor to have the opportunity to offer holistic skincare at Vitalize. Working alongside these fantastic practitioners in a healing space is a dream come true for me.

I wanted to share a little bit about my approach to skincare so I am going to invite you to read along as I walk you through how to make your very own Brightening Facial Mask using in-season berries that are currently growing in abundance here in Oregon.

Brightening Facial Mask:

-3 strawberries

-5 raspberries

-1+ tbsp raw local honey

-1/4 tsp of the following - turmeric, nutmeg, cinnamon, raw cacao powder, matcha

-1 tbsp yogurt(optional)

Mix all ingredients together making sure that the berries are macerated to the best of your ability - this will make for a smooth application.

Apply to a clean damp face and leave on for up to 20 minutes.

Enjoying the scent of summer berries as they brighten and tone your complexion. The spices in this mask may help lift stubborn hyperpigmentation with repeated use. Matcha and cacao offer next-level antioxidant support that helps repair skin that has seen too much sun and pollution during your summer travels.

Gently rinse the mask off with warm water followed by the application of a toner and moisturizer.

(This mask contains turmeric which will stain fabric and countertops. Please keep this in mind when blending and during application)

Enjoy!
