Watermelon, potato and honey mask
Watermelon: As the quintessential summer food, it’s sweet, hydrating, portable, and refreshing. It’s also incredibly beautifying when applied to your skin in a summer DIY face mask. So buy a few extra watermelons for your July 4th barbecue, because you’ll definitely want to try this. While you’re at it, set aside one of those potatoes when you’re whipping up your famous potato salad for the barbecue. Using a potato in a face mask might seem strange, but this recipe is a favorite of Miranda Kerr’s — so you know it’s good. Ingredients:
1/2 slice fresh watermelon 1 potato 2 tablespoons raw honey
