DIY Face Masks With Avocado

Give these nourishing face masks a try.

There are many things to love about avocado. This fruit is known as a superfood, and for good reason. It is loaded with nutrients, like vitamins, omega fatty acids and more. Eating it is not the only way to get the most out of it. You can also make a nourishing homemade face mask with it. Here are a few DIY face masks you can make with avocado.

Avocado and oatmeal mask

If you are looking for a mask that gently exfoliates your skin, a blend of avocado and oatmeal may just be what you need.  To make this mask, you will need half an avocado and a tablespoon of ground oats. Mix the two well before you apply the mixture to your face. Leave it on for 15 minutes before you wash it off. Make sure to massage it well into your skin to get rid of dead skin so that you can achieve that natural glow. You can apply the pack once a week.

Avocado and apricot face mask

If you have sensitive skin, you should avoid exfoliating ingredients that could cause skin irritation. Blending apricot with avocado can help get rid of dirt and other toxins on your skin. Make a smooth paste by mixing half an avocado with a medium-sized apricot. Leave this pack on your face for about 20 minutes. Wash the pack off with warm water. Pat dry your skin with a gentle towel.

Avocado and honey face mask

For dry skin, you should make a face mask with avocado and honey. Combine one avocado with a tablespoon of honey. Use organic honey if possible. Apply the mixture all over your face and gently massage it into the skin. Leave it on only for 20 minutes. Wash it off with water and a mild cleanser. You can use this beauty treatment a couple of times a week to achieve the best results.

Avocado and green tea clay

Oily skin can be tough to manage. Too much of it can cause breakouts, which is an issue no one wants to have. Avocado and green tea clay can work well together to improve the complexion of this skin type. This is because these two ingredients can help reduce excess oil on your skin and offer it protection. You can use this face mask blend daily. Test it out to see if it works for you.
