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.

sweet beauty...
Looking for tips for beautiful skin? Try a sweet, fragrant honey mask. It's a wonderful way to moisturize and hydrate the skin. Honey is a natural humectant, which means it attracts and retains moisture. This mask always leaves my skin feeling soft, moisturized and creates a nice glow. Honey can also be added to the avocado mask for extra benefits or to create a smooth consistency.
Spread raw or organic honey over a clean face (be sure to always avoid eye area). Let honey sit for 20-30 minutes. To promote pore cleansing, tap you fingers over your skin in the areas your pores seem to be congested. Doing this creates tiny suctions that help clear clogged pores. Rinse and wipe face off well with warm water.
