Avocado has long been known for its many health and skin benefits. Not only is avocado flesh and oil very moisturizing but also offers many more benefits to the skin because it contains vitamins, fatty acids, protein and lecithin.
It is very good for normal, dry, dehydrated skin and eczema and the fatty acids also help the skin absorb other ingredients that you add to an avocado mask or an avocado oil blend or serum.
When added to an oil serum, it’s great for targeting wrinkles and dehydrated skin because the fatty acids deliver benefits deep in to the layers of your skin.
To make a basic avocado face mask base:
- Add the flesh of one avocado to a bowl
- Mash in 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil, sunflower oil or grapeseed oil to the avocado
- Optionally you can add 1/2 teaspoon of yogurt or milk if you want an extra moisturizing boost
Mix together well until it forms a smooth paste. If you want to keep the avocado face pack in the refrigerator for a few days add 10 drops of lemon juice which will help keep it from going brown.
Add other ingredients to your avocado mask base:
To this base you can add different ingredients for different skin types, like papaya or pineapple or kiwifruit for exfoliation, lemon juice or apple cider vinegar for oily skin, or honey, other oils like evening primrose oil for very dry/mature skin.
There are also many wrinkle busting ingredients and oils you can add. You can also use our home made face mask remedy wizard to find ingredients to add based on your skin type or condition.
Alternatively you can make more avocado face masks using specific quantities of ingredients to suit your skin type and any issues you want to address.
You can make any unique facial treatment mixture you like with this avocado mask base or use an oil blend using avocado oil, Jojoba Oil, and grapeseed oil with essential oils added for extra nourishing benefits.
