Ingredients

  • 5-6 Natural Delights pitted Medjool dates
  • 1 Tbsp plain or Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 fresh-squeezed orange juice
  • 1-1/2 tsp coffee grounds

Preparation

  1. Blend all together in a food processor until the mixture forms a paste-like texture.
  2. Apply to face and leave on for about 20 min. This is also great to use on the back of hands.
  3. Exfoliate the mask off gently with a wash rag - your skin will feel so smooth and refreshed after. Not to mention this natural “coffee date” mask is great for moisturizing, nourishing, brightening, and de-puffing the skin.

*While Medjool dates are high in natural sugars, they are low on the glycemic index thanks to a balanced amount of soluble fiber. The complex carbohydrates found in Medjool dates are digested at a slower rate, making them a source of dietary fiber and releasing energy to the body over a longer period of time.
