Pink grapefruit is wonderful for the skin. It contains large amounts of Vitamin C and bioflavanoids, which help naturally brighten and soften the skin. It also helps reduce excess oil and bacteria, clearing the pores and keeping acneic skin balanced.
Here are a couple of very simple recipes to make your skin radiant and glowing!
Pink Grapefruit Mask
¼ pink grapefruit, peeled
1 tbsp organic raw honey
Directions: Mash grapefruit in food processor or blender. Add grapefruit to small bowl with honey. Blend ingredients together well with a fork. Apply to clean, damp skin. Let sit for 10-15 minutes. Rinse and moisturize.
*Not for highly sensitive or irritated skin conditions.
