Everyone (except my little picky eater) knows that fruits and vegetables are good for you. Consuming them provides us with vital nutrients that help with mental and physical development.
However, what many people don’t realize is that there are fruits and vegetables that are just as good for you on the outside as on the inside. Take for instance this avocado face mask homemade recipe. The ingredients in this DIY beauty recipe are outstanding for your skin.
The avocado face mask homemade recipe is equal parts avocado and banana… both of which will do wonders for your skin. Avocados are rich in antioxidants which can help prevent fine lines and wrinkles. On top of that, have you ever noted the creamy texture of mashed avocado?
Yep, this fruit is a natural moisturizer which is awesome for dry, itchy skin. In addition, it possess a high amount of oleic acid which is good for reducing facial redness and irritation.

So, now that we’ve talked about the advantages of this avocado face mask homemade recipe, let’s talk price and time commitment. Umm how much is an avocado, banana, and 1 Tbsp of olive oil? Not nearly as much as the other face masks available in the health and beauty aisle… that’s for sure! As for time, all you have to do is peel the fruit and mash these ingredients together.

Hello! I found the measurements to be a little too much so I made less which was still a bit too much for my taste!
I could not find any essential oil on hand but I did find some all organ Shea butter in the house. I put in a little less then a teaspoon and the result smelt beautiful! It reminded me of hazel for some reason but I’m not the best of destinguishing scents.
This left my skin super soft and moisturized! It did help my incredibly sensitive skin

Hi! I am having a spa party with some of my friends for my birthday, and wanted to make this easy recipe. My only concern is that it will drip onto people’s robes if they don’t have a towel. Is it a thick mask, and will it drip? Thanks!
