DIY Revitalizing Face Treatments

Raw food guru and expert Tonya Zavasta told us the secrets of her gorgeous, glowing skin. Now, she tells us the recipe for two of her favorite all-natural, refreshing face treatments.

REVITALIZING MASQUE

1. 1 Tablespoon raw honey

2. 1 Mashed ripe banana

3. 1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice

"Mash the banana and mix everything together with a fork," says Tonya. After you've thoroughly cleansed, apply this mixture evenly all over your face and let it sit for 15 minutes. Remove with a warm washcloth and rinse thoroughly.

SOOTHING MOISTURE CREAM

1. 1 Teaspoon cold pressed olive oil

2. 1 Tablespoon fresh aloe vera pulp (scraped from leaf)

3. 1 Teaspoon raw honey

Mix all three ingredients in a re-sealable cup or glass bottle and whip with a fork until it's as smooth as you can get it. Massage a teaspoon of the ointment gently on your face until it feels hydrated—usually 5-10 minutes will suffice. Refrigerate the leftovers and warm on the counter top for the next use. "Fresh is best, so don't use a batch more than twice," advises Tonya.
