I've always loved the idea of handmade lotions, soaps and face masks. The thought about putting something that you've made on your body and knowing it's the best for your body is a great feeling. The other day I made this fun Avocado Face Mask that I have completely fallen in love with. It's super simple to make and I love applying it every night since. I encourage you to try this out next time you have a ripe avocado laying around!
All it takes is:
1 ripe avocado
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt1 tablespoon honey
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
Combine all the ingredients into a blender or food processor. And blend. Pour it into a container with secure lid and it should keep for at least a week! You can use regular yogurt as well but I found that with using the Greek yogurt it created a thicker finished product which was easier to apply.
It left my face feeling fresh and rejuvenated. The avocado naturally moisturizes your skin without leaving it oily. Which is specially important, at least for me! The yogurt and honey give your face a smooth glow and the lemon is great because it adds alpha-hyroxy acids which break down dead cells, clearing your skin! Can't beat that.
