How to Make Natural Avocado Carrot Cream Face Mask
Save money by creating your own avocado carrot cream facial mask, like the treatments used at pricey spas. Avocados provide antioxidants of vitamin E, A, and D. Carrots add the benefits of beta-carotene, while cream and an egg offer calcium and protein. Top it off with the anti-inflammatory and healing effects of honey. Combine these ingredients to make a home-made facial treatment to help fade age spots, improve facial skin tone, repair skin damage, and retain elasticity of the skin by rebuilding collagen.
