Dealing with sun spots or fine lines that just won’t budge? A simple peach face mask might help.

I first read about using donut peaches for smoother skin, but since they’re expensive and hard to find, I tried regular peaches instead—and got great results.

I really liked the way it made my face look. And it felt smoother too!

Peaches are rich in vitamin C and natural enzymes that help brighten, hydrate, and gently exfoliate without harsh scrubs.

If you like trying natural skin remedies from time to time, this one’s worth adding to your routine. (You’ll find more like it on my homemade skincare page.)

Later in the page, I’ll show you how to level it up with fruit enzymes—but first, here’s the simple version anyone can make.

5 reasons why peaches are your skin's best friend

Peaches aren’t just delicious—they’re great for your skin, too. Here’s what they can help with:

1. Sun spot fading

Peaches are rich in vitamin C, which helps brighten skin and fade sun spots by slowing melanin production.

2. Fewer fine lines

Antioxidants like beta-carotene boost collagen and help smooth the look of fine lines and wrinkles.

3. Deep hydration

Their high water content helps plump the skin, keeping it soft, supple, and more elastic.

4. Gentle exfoliation

Natural AHAs in peaches help loosen dead skin and reveal a fresher, smoother glow.

5. Overall skin renewal

With regular use, peaches can improve tone, texture, and that tired, uneven look caused by sun damage.

How to make a peach face mask

Peach Skin Brightening Mask

Ready to give your skin some peachy TLC? Here’s a simple recipe to get you started:

Ingredients:

1 ripe peach
1 tablespoon honey (for added hydration and antibacterial properties)
1 tablespoon plain yogurt (for soothing and exfoliation)

Instructions:

  • Peel and pit the peach, then mash it into a smooth pulp using a fork or blender. Add the honey and yogurt, and mix until it forms a creamy paste.
  • Apply to clean skin, avoiding the eye area. Leave on for 15–20 minutes.
  • Rinse with lukewarm water, pat dry, and follow with your favorite moisturizer.

Tips for best results

Fresh Peaches:  Fresh peaches are the best choice for their juicy flavor and vibrant nutrients, but if they’re out of season or hard to find, frozen or canned peaches without added sugar are great alternatives. They still pack a punch of flavor and can be just as effective in recipes or DIY beauty treatments.

Extra Exfoliation:  The simple addition of sugar not only enhances the mask’s exfoliating power but also leaves your skin feeling smoother and more rejuvenated. Massage before rinsing to get the skin sloughing benefits. 

Note: You can use brown sugar, granulated sugar, or superfine caster sugar depending on how gentle or intense you want the exfoliation to be.

See more about different types of sugar used in a face scrub recipe.

Patch Test: Always do a patch test before applying new ingredients to your face.

Consistency is Key: For noticeable results, use the peach mask 1-2 times a week.

Now enjoy the sweet, refreshing benefits of peaches while giving your skin the attention it deserves!

No peaches, no time, no problem

If you're short on time or can’t find fresh peaches, peach-infused face masks, sheet masks, face oils and serums are great alternatives.

These pre-made options deliver similar benefits, like hydration and anti-aging effects, without the prep work.

Peach Face Masks: These can help brighten and hydrate your skin.

Peach-infused Oils: Good for moisturizing and adding a natural glow

Peach-Based Serums: Look for serums with peach extract for added antioxidants. This one is amazing with 70% peach extract. It melts into your skin.

Try an at-home enzyme masks made with pumpkin, papaya, or pineapple. These fruit-based masks gently exfoliate at a deeper level—helping smooth texture and brighten skin without harsh scrubs.

FAQ: Peaches for face Masks

Question: Can I use a peach face mask if I have sensitive skin?

Answer: Yes, peach face masks can be gentle enough for sensitive skin—especially when made with calming ingredients like yogurt or honey. Just be sure to do a quick patch test first, and skip any added exfoliants like sugar if your skin is easily irritated.

Question: Can I store leftover peach mask for later use?

Answer: It’s best to use the peach mask immediately after making it, as fresh ingredients can lose their potency and spoil quickly. If you have leftover mask, you can refrigerate it for up to 24 hours, but always check for any signs of spoilage before using it again

Question: Are peach face masks suitable for all skin types?

Answer: Yes, peach face masks are generally suitable for all skin types. They’re hydrating for dry skin, soothing for sensitive skin, and the natural AHAs can help with exfoliation for oily or acne-prone skin. Just be sure to adjust the ingredients, like skipping the sugar if your skin is very sensitive.
