Here are some natural DIY beauty treatments to help you show your patriotic spirit while pampering yourself with wholesome, skin-friendly ingredients.
Treatments:
1. Red Berry Face Mask
Berries are not only delicious but also packed with antioxidants and vitamins that are great for your skin. This face mask harnesses the power of strawberries and raspberries to give your skin a patriotic and healthy glow.
