Dry Skin Mask
A revitalising masque that’s gentle on dry, sensitive skin and improves skin texture.
Beat the yolk of an egg until light and frothy. Blend in the mashed pulp of half a ripe avocado till smooth and creamy. Cleanse your face and neck thoroughly, pat dry and apply the mixture evenly. Lie down and relax for about 20 minutes. Remove with tepid water and a soft face cloth, followed by a cold water rinse or a mild skin lotion.
Oily Skin Mask
The monounsaturated fat in avocados won’t clog pores, making it ideal for oily skin types.
Blend the white of an egg with one teaspoon fresh lemon juice and the mashed pulp of half a ripe avocado until frothy green. Cleanse your face and neck thoroughly, pat dry and apply mask evenly. Lie down and relax for about 20 minutes. Remove with clear tepid water and a soft face cloth, followed by a cold astringent or skin tonic.
