My lifelong friend from college visited one weekend. We did all sorts of fun things, including experimenting with lots of fresh fruits to make wonderful facial treatments. This one was our favorite.

Blending Procedure:

1. Pulverize pineapple chunks and kiwi in a small food processor. Add whipping cream and process further to mix in.
   
   
2. Add oats and clay and process to ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated. This should produce a paste-like mixture that will not run when a small amount is placed on the back of your hand. If it runs, add a little more clay or powdered oats to the mix. If it's too thick to spread easily on the skin, add a bit more whipping cream.
   
   
3. To use as a cleanser and face polish, place 1/3 of the mixture in the palms of your hand and massage gently onto facial and neck skin. You can allow it to sit on the skin for about 10 minutes as a mask if you'd like. This is the best way to enjoy the benefits of the natural alpha hydroxy acids in the fresh pineapple.
   
   
4. After rinsing with warm water, follow with toner and moisturizer of choice. Store unused portion in the fridge for a few days or share it with a friend. Enjoy!!
