How to Make Avocado Facial Cleansers

Avocados may be green and wrinkly, but they're one of nature's gifts, nourishing not only for your insides, but also to your skin. Mixed with a few other inexpensive ingredients, an avocado makes a wonderful facial cleanser, full of vitamins and natural, skin-enhancing oils.

Things You'll Need

• 1 ripe avocado, peeled and pitted
• 2 bowls
• Fork or blender
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup cream
• 1 ripe avocado, diced
• Small bowl
• 3 drops apple cider vinegar
• 1 tsp. honey
• Fork
• Damp cloth

Instructions

Avocado and Egg Yolk Facial Cleanser

1. Peel the avocado and remove the pit. Put half of the avocado in a bowl and mash it with a fork, or puree it in a blender.

2. Separate the egg and discard the white. Place the yolk in a bowl and beat it until it's frothy. Add the cream to the beaten egg yolk and combine the mixture with the avocado. Beat or blend until the mixture is smooth.

3. Apply the avocado mixture to your face as you would any other cleanser, and rinse it thoroughly.

Avocado and Honey Facial Cleanser

1. Dice the ripe avocado and put it in a small bowl.

2. Add the apple cider vinegar and honey and mash them together until a paste forms.

3. Apply the avocado and honey facial cleanser to the face and leave it for about 10 minutes. Remove the cleanser with a damp cloth and rinse your face with warm water.

Tips & Warnings

• A ripe avocado makes a great facial cleaner on its own, with no extra ingredients. Just mash the avocado and apply it to the face. Leave it for 10 to 15 minutes, and rinse well. Grime, toxins and pollutants will be washed away.
