4 Skincare Recipes Using Avocado


Puffed Eyes


Cut avocado into slices and place it under each eye and relax with it for the next 20 minutes. The changes would be remarkable.


Eye Cream


Make an eye cream by mixing 5 drops of almond oil in 3 ripe slices of avocado. Blend this mixture and dab it around your eyes. Keep it for five minutes then rinse.


Another method of making the eye cream is by using 1/4 cup avocado oil with 1/4 cup aloe vera gel. You could also use the apricot kernel, grape seed, or sesame oil.


Facial Mask


This facial mask is useful for dry skin. Mash half the avocado and apply it leisurely on your face. Keep it for 15 minutes and then rinse it off with warm water.


Make a paste of ½ ripe avocado mixed with 1 tsp vegetable oil. Apply this paste on a washed and clean face. Leave it for 15 to 20 minutes. Rinse it with warm water. This masque is very good for dry skin.


Facial Scrub

You would need 2 tbsp. flax seeds, 1/2 mashed banana, and 1/2 avocado peel. Use a small bowl to mix flax seeds and bananas. Scoop the banana and flax seed by using the avocado peel. Massage this scoop on your face in a circular motion, slowly and gently. Rinse it with warm water.
