VERY MERRY CRANBERRY FACE MASKS

AESTHETICIAN RENEE ROULEAU SHARES TWO SEASONAL RECIPES

cranberry face mask!
Thanksgiving dinner is fun. So is playing with your food.
In anticipation of the holiday, we asked celeb aesthetician Renée Rouleau (Anna Faris is a fan) to concoct two recipes inspired by the season’s sweetest side dish: cranberry sauce. The first face mask uses cooked berries; the second, fresh. Both give skin a dose of wrinkle-fighting, redness-reducing antioxidants. They’re so good, we insist you share.
Evening Cranberry Yogurt Facial Mask
Ingredients
½ c. cranberry sauce
½ c. plain yogurt
¼ c. honey
3 tbsp. olive oil
1. Pour cranberry sauce and yogurt into a bowl. Whisk gently.
2. Add honey and olive oil. Whisk again until ingredients are well combined.
3. On a clean face, apply mask generously in a thick, even layer. Leave on for 20 minutes.
4. Rinse with warm water and pat dry. Follow with moisturizer.
Antiaging Berry Mask
Ingredients
1 c. fresh cranberries
1 c. seedless red grapes
2 tsp. grapefruit juice
1 envelope unflavored gelatin
1. Wash cranberries and grapes in cool water. Put them in a blender. Add grapefruit juice and gelatin.
2. Run blender on puree setting until mixture has the consistency of paste.
3. Place mixture in a bowl and cover. Refrigerate for 45 minutes until the mask thickens.
4. Remove from refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.
5. Apply the mixture to a clean face in an even layer. Leave it on for 15 minutes.
6. Rinse with lukewarm water and pat dry. Follow with moisturizer.
