Vodka is an excellent preservative for Spa DIY recipes. Kiwi is very mildly acidic and acts as an astringent for oily skin without being as drying as others.
Ingredients
1cupboiling water
1kiwi fruit, peeled and mashed
1tablespoonvodka
Instructions
Pour the boiling water over the mashed kiwi fruit in a heavy ceramic bowl and let sit until cool, which is about 20-30 minutes.
Strain the mixture well to remove all fruit solids.
Add the vodka and stir.
Apply to the skin with a clean cotton pad.
You may rinse your face with cool water if you have sensitive skin.
Store in the refrigerator and use within 10 days.
Spa Index Kitchen Notes
Don't want or need to make a bunch? Fortunately, our local market features baskets of Baby Kiwi, no bigger than a walnut. We found ours at Trader Joe's.
