time for a mask...


Are you craving a face mask to soften and moisturize sensitive skin? Try this banana-avocado recipe that can easily be made in your home. Similar to the basic avocado mask but with a few more skin softening ingredients:

1 organic ripened banana
1 organic ripened avocado
2 tablespoons plain organic yogurt
2 drops of Vitamin E oil


This will make enough for 2 masks at least. Apply to clean, damp skin for 10-20 minutes. Wipe mask off and rinse face with warm water. Apply a moisturizer, or don't if you're going to sleep.

time for a mask...



This avocado mask is moisturizing, affordable and quick to prepare. Avocado provides a rich source of vitamin A,C,D,E and has more potassium than a banana. Avocado oil is regularly used in skin and hair products because of this rich nutrients.
For the Mask: Mash 1/2 organic avocado, I find 1/4 avocado is enough unless your going to put on a hair mask as well. Apply a thick layer to your face and neck and let sit for at least 15 minutes. Rinse well with warm water.
Sometimes I mix a little organic honey in as well to make more of a smooth consistency. Afterwards your skin will feel fresh, young and replenished...take advantage of what your kitchen has to offer! For those of you who do not want avocado in your hair here is a good solution by Burt's Bees.
