3 Easy DIY Avocado Face Masks for Glowing Skin
by Kali Kushner
Avocados are among one of the most useful (and trendy) ingredients on the market today. We put them in our smoothies, use them in hair masks, and spread them across toast; so, it is no surprise this superfood is great for our skin too. When applied as a face mask, avocados boast a range of benefits:
Avocados are completely natural, free of chemicals and other synthetic ingredients that are found in many store-bought beauty products
Great for acne prone, dry, and sensitive skin (both applied topically and when consumed orally)
Has the ability to reach deep in the layers of skin to improve overall elasticity and moisture
Rich in omega-3 fatty acids and other antioxidants like vitamin A, B,K, and E which all work to improve the overall texture and tone of the skin
Heals acne and inflammation by exfoliating the skin and decreasing overall oil production
Highly anti-aging, avocados eliminates oxidative stress and minimizes the appearance of wrinkles
Which brings me to my last point, avocados are cost effective and a DIY mask can easily be made at home with ingredients laying around in your kitchen!
Here are 3 easy avocado face masks that can be thrown together with just 3 ingredients
*For each of these masks,mash or blend together the ingredients until smooth.Apply a thin layer and let dry for 8-10 minutes.Store anyleftovers in the fridge and use within 3 days.
