Not only did leading NYC dermatologist and author of "The Beauty of Dirty Skin," Dr. Whitney Bowe, walk us through her three-week probiotic skin care plan AND teach us why we need to love having a little bit of dirt on our skin, she also shared her antioxidant face mask with us.
(Spoiler alert: It only has THREE ingredients!)
"One of my favorite power-packed antioxidant skin masks is simple and easy to make but will leave your face feeling radiant and renewed! Cranberries and apples are rich in wrinkle-fighting antioxidants, including vitamin C, which helps collagen production and strengthens your hair and nails. Almond oil is packed with vitamin E, which softens and smooths the skin, improves tone and complexion, and has been shown to slow down the visible signs of aging."
- Dr. Whitney Bowe
INGREDIENTS
1 apple, peeled, cored, and chopped
½ cup fresh or defrosted frozen cranberries
1 tablespoon almond oil
PREPARATION
Combine all ingredients in a food processor until the mixture reaches a paste-like consistency. It should be a bit thick. Spread on clean skin. Leave on for 3–5 minutes, then rinse off with warm water.
