Avocado Face Mask Recipe
- 1/2 of an avocado
- 3 tablespoons of honey
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 carrot, boiled mashed and cooled
Mash avocado and carrot together until fully combined. Add the honey and egg yolk and continue to mix thoroughly. Once you have a smooth paste you are ready to apply.
To a clean, make- up, and moisturizer free face, apply the avocado based mixture to all areas of your face avoiding your eyes and mouth. If any area feels a little extra dry be sure to apply a little more of the paste to that area. Let this dry for about 15 minutes. Wash off with warm water and immediately splash cold water on your face to close your pores.
The combination of avocado and carrot is especially good for your dry skin because of their moisturizing agents. Avocados are high in Vitamins A, D and E and are rich in unsaturated fats that will nourish your skin and slow down the aging process. Carrots consist of antioxidants and beta-carotene that will also soften and moisturize your skin. Add in honey that acts as an antibiotic and you have the perfect combination of cleansing and hydrating in your DIY face mask! It’s as simple as that. Your skin will feel silky smooth giving you an extra boost of confidence any day of the week.
