Blackberries: Benefits for Your Skin and Health
Blackberries offer a host of health and beauty benefits. They’re packed with manganese and vitamins A, C, and K, which blast wrinkles, boost collagen, and keep your skin looking young, says Healthline.
Also, like raspberries, blackberries contain anthocyanins, which protect against free radical damage. Free radicals speed aging and make you look older than your years, but blackberries contain oodles of antioxidants, helping your skin glow again.
So what better reason to treat yourself to a DIY blackberry face mask and smoothie?
DIY Blackberry Face Mask

This easy DIY blackberry face mask takes minutes to make, and your skin will soak it up. All you need is yogurt, blackberries, and Manuka (or raw) honey.
However, yogurt, honey, and blackberries make the perfect anti-aging trio. Antioxidant-rich blackberries protect and brighten your skin, while yogurt’s lactic acid sloughs off dead skin to reveal your freshest face. Meanwhile, honey kills bacteria and softens skin, helping you put your smoothest face forward.
So gather the items below to make your DIY blackberry face mask.

Ingredients
- 1/2 cup blackberries
- 2 ½ tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
- 2 ½ tablespoons raw honey
Instructions
- First, pulse blackberries, yogurt, and honey in a blender until smooth.
- Next, wash your face and remove all makeup residue.
- Then, steam face with a warm washcloth for one minute to open pores and help skin absorb the nutrients.
- Now, apply the mixture to your face with a facial brush (optional) and leave on 15 to 20 minutes.
- Rinse once with warm water and once with cool water.
- Then, pat face dry.
- Finally, follow with serum, moisturizer, and sunscreen.
