Avocado Soothing Eye Treatment

Apart from being the perfect shape to place under the eye, it is also a very effective treatment! Simply peel an avocado, remove the seed and slice a half into 1cm crescents. Lie down, placing a few slices under each eye, and relax for about 20 minutes.

Avocado Mask for Dry Skin

Always cleanse your face thoroughly before using a face mask. Beat one egg yolk until it is light and frothy. Add the mashed pulp of half an avocado. Blend well. Spread the avocado mixture over your face and neck evenly; lie down and relax for 20 minutes. Remove with warm water and a face cloth. Rinse with cold water or use a mild skin lotion.

Avocado Oily Skin Treatment Mask

Take one egg white, a teaspoon of lemon juice and the mashed pulp of half an avocado and blend to a smooth green mixture in 20 seconds. Wash your face and neck thoroughly, then apply mask evenly on those areas. Relax for 20 minutes; remove with warm water and a face cloth. Follow with cold water or a skin tonic.

Avocado simple Moisturiser

Using the inside of the avocado peel, lightly massage your face with gentle upward strokes. Let the oil residue remain on your skin for about 15 minutes. If you are planning to apply make-up after your treatment, wash your face gently with three or four rinses of warm water and pat dry. Although not visible, the oil will act as a base to hold your foundation or powder in place for hours. If applying before bedtime the oil may simply absorb into your skin throughout the night.

Avocado Exfoliating Scrub for rough skin

Place a quarter of an avocado, one egg white, two dessert spoons of oatmeal and a teaspoon of lemon juice into a small bowl. Blend together and apply evenly to your hands, elbows or feet. Leave on for 20 minutes and rinse off with warm water for softer, noticeably smoother skin.
