These two avocado facial mask recipes were given to me by my friend Joan who spends most of her time gardening, exposed to sun on a daily basis.
Benefits of avocado are numerous: it is filled with monounsaturated fats, Vitamin B and E, nutrients excellent for moisturizing and rejuvenating dry or tired skin.
First recipe is for Avocado Face Mask for Dry and Sensitive Skin
Ingredients:
1 avocado
3-4 drops of almond oil
Preparation
- Peel and mash avocado and add almond oil until the mass is consistent.
Apply to face while massaging it gently.
Let it rest for 30 minutes and rinse off with warm water.
Before you move on to the next mask, here is avocado trivia for you:
Can you answer this? Is avocado a fruit or vegetable?
It's a fruit :) For some reason, I always thought it was a vegetable.
On to the next facial mask….
Moisturizing Avocado facial mask recipe
Ingredients:
1 avocado
1 teaspoon of apple vinegar
1 egg white
3 teaspoons of olive oil
Peel and mash avocado and start adding the rest of the ingredients. Egg white should be beaten before you put it in.
When the mass is done, apply to face and wash off after 20 minutes or so.
This mask provides great moisture for skin, making it soft and elastic.
I use both of these masks weekly and really like the results that I get. I also recommend them to all my friends who like sun tanning, they are an excellent way to replenish the skin’s moisture after a long day in the sun :)
