How to Make a Homemade Avocado Facial Mask

Making a homemade facial mask is not as difficult as you may believe, and can often be done with items around your house. Not only are you saving money by not purchasing those expensive facial masks at the store, but using a homemade facial mask is also organic and better for you.

An avocado facial mask works especially well for dry skin types as avocado is a natural moisturizer. Give it a try!

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Avocado
• Vinegar
• Water
• Bowl

1. Mash up the "meat" of an avocado in a large bowl until it is creamy.

2. Add a few drops of vinegar and mix it together thoroughly. Do not add more than a few drops of vinegar.

3. Spread evenly over face and neck, either using your hands or a spatula tool. Let sit for 15 minutes.

4. Rinse off with warm water and towel dry your face by blotting, never rubbing.

5. Once thoroughly rinsed and dried, follow with a cool water rinse to close pores. Again, towel dry your face by blotting your skin, not rubbing.

Tips & Warnings

• A fork often works best for mashing up the avocado.
• Since this treatment is all natural, use it as often as you like.
