Avocado, Almond Oil, Honey & Lemon Juice Face Mask

Having looked online for the best natural ingredients for face masks the ones above seemed to be mentioned the most although i never came across one that mixed them all together....... I used a whole avocado and threw in the other ingredients according to what I felt was the right amount. 
 A small amount of lemon juice, a table spoon or so almond oil & a good dollop of honey.

The mixture was a kind of greenish brown sludge colour which wasn't attractive but it smelt sweet and fresh.

I ran a bath with lavender oil ready for a relaxing wind down then smoothed the mixture over my face, I smoothed it right up to my hairline, I assume this mask would make a good hair mask too but having used a hot Almond Oil treatment last night i thought I would make this again next week for my hair to see what happens.

After ten or 15 mins i washed it off. My skin felt soft, clean and plumped. This was over an hour ago, my skin looks moisturised, soft and even which is unlike my skin, after a bath or shower my skin always goes blotchy due to the heat for a few hours. Maybe the moisture from the avocado helped calm my skin down. 

🍠 Avocados contain purifiers which draw out bacteria from your pores. They contain vitamin E which is great for skin.

🍯 The honey is antibacterial, hygroscopic (water retaining) and full of antioxidants.

 🍋The lemon juice is a good astringent but i would advise to only use lemon on your face on a night because it may react with the sun during the day drying your skin out, especially if you have sensitive skin. Lemon juice is great for oily skin.

🌰Almond Oil is anti ageing, reduces dark circles & gives your face a great glow.

Avocados are also yummy to eat and very good for you containing GOOD fats so you WON'T put on weight by eating half on a morning for breakfast. Research shows they can actually help you lose weight so please eat this superfood and don't be afraid of their 'fat' content. These fats are good!!!
