Skincare: Avocado Lavender Face Mask

I love to eat avocado so much, not only because it’s so tasty but also because it’s great for my body. Avocado is loaded with anti-inflammatory fats, vitamins like B, C and E, and so much more. Today I decided to do more than just eat it, instead I decided to put it on my face- and what a good decision it was- my face loved it!

This easy-to-make avocado face mask is easy to make and I promise your skin will love it. The avocado is loaded with moisturizing and anti-inflammatory properties, the lavender essential oil is cooling and soothing, the lemon is refreshing and the honey not only helps to hold it all together, but also contains anti-bacterial properties that will help to leave your face feeling clean and refreshed.

AvocadoLavender Face Mask

  • Makes: 2 masks
  • Prep time: 5 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 avocado
  • 2-3 drops lavender or chamomile essential oil (I always use Aura Cacia)

  • Squeeze of 1/4 of a lemon

Directions:

  1. Get a small bowl ready.
  2. Add the avocado, essential oil, honey and squeeze of lemon to the bowl.
  3. With a fork, mix the ingredients until well mixed (you can also put the ingredients into the blender for a really smooth consistency).
  4. Apply mask to face- and share the other half with a friend, and leave on face for about 10 minutes.
  5. Remove with warm water and towel dry.
  6. Enjoy!

… and as a surprise, here I am in my mask! (I practice what I preach!)

      Hi Beverly!
      I wouldn’t say that this would be great for a 5 year old- the lavender essential oil may be strong for her delicate skin- you could try on a small patch of her skin on her arm before her face the recipe just avocado, a little lemon and the honey – I would leave out the lavender! I hope this helps thank you for your wonderful comment.
