Recipe Box: Skin Restoring Aronia Berry Mask

Written by   Elina Fedotova, CEO of Elina Organics

Aronia has traditionally been used in Russia to rejuvenate and heal the skin. Each berry offers an organic cocktail of vitamins, minerals, and other skin-nourishing nutrients. It has a higher concentration of antioxidants than blueberries, grapes, acai, elderberries, and many other fruits.

Ingredients:

1/3 teaspoon aronia berry powder
3 teaspoons of white kaolin clay (for normal to oily skin) or organic oat flour (for normal to dry skin)
1 teaspoon of raw, organic honey
A few drops of pure, warm water

Directions:

Mix these ingredients into a smooth consistency. Be sure to avoid using too much aronia powder, it has an intense purple color and can stain the skin! White kaolin clay and oat flour are well known for their healing properties. Raw honey will nourish the skin and has wonderful antibacterial and moisturizing effects.

To Use:

Gently apply the mask with a facial brush. Leave on for five to 10 minutes. Use a vaporizer to keep the mask moist and improve penetration, if desired. Remove the mask with warm compresses, or rinse off with water.
