Avocado Honey Face Mask To Nourish And Hydrate
This one is great for dry winter skin. Avocado has essential fatty acids, Vitamin C and E, and is loaded with antioxidants to keep your skin hydrated and smooth. Honey is a know humectant and retains moisture in the skin to make it glow. It also clarifies the skin, opening the pores and making it easier to keep them unclogged. However, when choosing a honey to add to your DIY routine, make sure it is raw or organic as the cheap store bought stuff won't produce the same results.Adding oats to your face mask will calm and soothe your skin, as well as providing gently exfoliation without being too harsh. Simply mash all the ingredients together in a bowl, apply to a clean face, and leave on for fifteen minutes. Wash off with warm (not hot) water and revel in your glowing complexion.

- Half an avocado
- One tablespoon of honey (preferably organic or raw)
