DIY Avocado and Honey Face Mask

As much as i love going out and buying that facial product that everyone has been raving about i do also love to make my own.  One that i really love is this Avocado and Honey facial mask.

When i make my own facial products being a mask, scrub or moisturiser i feel better about knowing exactly what is going into the product and onto my face. You never know about those store bought ones- they may claim to be 90% natural products but, um excuse me, what is the other 10%?? 

To make this mask all you need is
~ 1/2 a ripe avocado
~ 2 Tablespoons of honey 
~1/2 a Teaspoon of coconut oil
And then..
Puree or mash the avocado until its smooth and creamy, then blend in the other ingredients. Apply the mixture onto your face avoiding the eyes then lay back and relax for 10-15 minutes - i love listening to some soft music whilst doing this. I mean why not? Treat yourself! Once the time is up rinse off your mask with warm water and a face washer, this will help exfoliate at the same time.

This mask is used by celebrities all around the world, its great for dry skin although any skin type can use it. The avocado and coconut oil provide a great moisture balance whilst the honey helps to heal and sooth any redness on the face.

Let me know below if you're going to try this or if you have any more DIY Facial product recipes- i do love to find more!

I hope you're all having a lovely day or night where ever you are and ill be blogging to you soon. x
