Avocado Face Mask for Dry SkinDigital Vision for Getty Images
Avocados and honey are particularly moisturizing. This mask is particularly great for mature, wrinkled and dry skin. It's best to use a ripe, fresh, organic avocado. Make sure to mash it up into a creamy pulp.

Avocados are also great for deep conditioning dry hair. See my avocado and banana hair mask recipe.

Ingredients:

  • ½ avocado
  • ¼ cup honey

Preparation:

A classic recipe for dry skin. Mash the avocado in a bowl, then stir in honey.
Apply to skin and leave for 10 minutes.
Rinse face with a cool washcloth.

Very awesome mask, Member azn_pride

This works best for a dry skin person, rather than a oily skin person. Some people has a very sensitive skin which wouldn't recommended to use it because avocados contains way too much vitamins, fatty acids and minerals which is likely to be used if a person that has a sensitive skin. It works best for me. I have used this 2 years ago and my skin now is way better than before. My skin before was all flaky and dry. It also helps me to remove black and white heads.
