Whether you’re smearing avocado on your toast, or throwing it into your daily smoothie, avocado has become a staple superfood we just can’t get enough of. So, why not try something different with this coveted fruit? And by different, we mean slather it on your face.
Since face masks can be incredibly expensive and often times not used regularly enough to be worth the expense, it might not be the smartest investment. Instead, create your own face mask whenever the mood strikes and save a few bucks while also reaping the same skincare benefits! The following DIY Avocado Mask recipe courtesy of Indie Lee is great to incorporate into your daily routine simply because it’s easy and gentle on the skin.
With a powerhouse of ingredients, this face mask will not only give you a glow, but it’ll help smooth your skin. Avocados are jampacked with proteins and natural oils, making them perfect for maintaining moisture and elasticity, while the lactic acid in the Greek Yogurt acts as a mild exfoliant to dissolve away dead skin cells. The coconut oil cleans and hydrates the skin, while the matcha powder detoxifies and removes toxins that can lead to premature aging. The next time you have a few minutes to yourself, whip up this mask and take a few minutes to relax, your skin will thank you!
