Are you looking for the most versitile fruit? Then add avocado to your shopping list!
Avocado is a fantastic ingredient not only for cooking, but also for homemade face (and hair) masks. All of that thanks to its nourishing and moisturizing properties. Here’s a simple yet effective recipe for a homemade avocado face mask:
Ingredients:
1/2 ripe avocado
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon plain yogurt (optional)
Instructions:
1. Scoop it
Start by scooping out the flesh of a ripe avocado and placing it into a mixing bowl.
2. Mash it
Mash the avocado with a fork until it forms a smooth, creamy consistency without any lumps.
3. Add the rest
Add honey and yoghurt to the mashed avocado.
*Honey is a natural humectant, which means it helps to retain moisture in the skin and has antibacterial properties that can help with acne-prone skin.
*Yogurt contains lactic acid, which gently exfoliates the skin and helps to brighten and even out skin tone.
4. Mix mix mix!
Mix all the ingredients together until well combined.
5. Apply and let it do the magic
Apply the avocado mask on clean skin, avoiding the delicate area around your eyes.
Leave the mask on for 10-15 minutes to allow the ingredients to penetrate the skin and work their magic.
6. Rinse it
After the allotted time, rinse off the mask with lukewarm water and pat your skin dry with a clean towel.
7. Finish up
Follow up with your favorite moisturizer to lock in the hydration and keep your skin glowing.
This homemade avocado face mask is suitable for all skin types and can be used once or twice a week for best results. So don´t forget to refrigerate your mask for later or simply use it for your hair.
Enjoy the nourishing benefits of avocado for smooth, radiant skin!
