Homemade Skin Care Recipe: Moisturizing Mask made with avocado

submitted by Anonymous

Tip description / details:
Weekly moisturizing masks are a must-do for those with dry skin. This mask is made with Nature's best fruit - Avocado. The effect of this mask lasts not just for hours but for days.

Ingredients:
1 Avocado, 1 tsp honey, 1/2 tsp lemon juice

How to prepare:
Mix the pulp of 1 avocado with honey and lemon juice. Prepare just before ready for use.

How to use:
Apply all over the body while moving the fingers in a circular motion. This can even be applied in the hair. Leave for 10 minutes and then remove by moving the fingers in circular motion. Then wash off the body with warm water.

Results (observed by submitter):
The avocado natural oil moisturizes the skin, the honey helps some exfoliation. Whenever I use this, my skin feels really soft, supple and elastic. This is not like a moisturizer that leaves skin dry in a couple of hours. The effect of this can be felt for almost 2 days after application. In fact, when I apply it in my hair, I just wash off my hair with water that day (no shampoo). The hair feel like it has been oiled. I usually shampoo the next day and let me hair soak in the oil.

Costs involved:
$2
