Easy Avocado Face Mask For All Skin Types

posted in Skin & Body Tips on 7/7/2014

Face masks are a great way to clean your pores, help with acne, soothe dry skin and improve the overall quality of the skin. This nourishing, softening, cleansing, moisturising and soothing homemade avocado natural face mask is great for all skin types.

What you'll need:
-Half of a ripe avocado
-A little honey (about a tsp)
-A teaspoon of yogurt or milk

Step One:
Take half of a ripe avocado and mash it up. Make sure you remove the skin, and of course remove the seed before mashing.

Step Two:
Add a quick squirt of honey and a teaspoon of plain organic yogurt. Yogurt is ideal for acne prone skin because it contains lactic acid, which kills bacteria. Plain yogurt is also mildly acidic and can restore your skin's PH balance.

Step three:
Wash your face with warm water to get rid of excess make up or dirt.

Step four:
Apply the mask to the skin on your face using your fingertips or a clean foundation brush and leave on for at least 60 minutes.

Step five:
Gently wash your face using warm water and a washcloth to clean it off and pat dry.

After this mask has been used your skin should feel refreshed and rejuvenated. Another recommendation is to also put slices of cucumber over your eyes while the mask is soaking which will refresh tired looking eyes. The coolness from the cucumber reduces puffiness.
