In Vogue India which feature ‘Great Escapes’. The avocado mask got our attention. It is essential to learn about some specialized recipes for avocado face mask to obtain healthy skin. We decided to DIY with Linas.
Avocado Face Mask – Oily Skin: As avocado face mask gives deep cleansing which helps in getting rid of the dirt and grime accumulated on the face, it opens up the tiny ducts for cleansing and clearing the dead skin cells and prevent acne breakouts.
Honey and Avocado Face Mask Procedure: Take an avocado and cut it into two halves. Scoop the pulp from one of the halves of the fruit. Use a spoon to crush it to make a smooth paste. Take a cucumber and cut two slices. Add yogurt and honey to the pulp and stir well. Now spread the paste evenly all over the neck and face. Massage it well to soak it into the skin. Place cucumber slices on the eyes and rest for about 10–15 minutes until the mask sets. Use warm water to rinse your face and pat dry the skin

Avocado for Dry Skin: The nourishing and yummy fruit has long been touted as a skin savior for dry skin. You are what you eat. But what if you could also topically apply these skin foods for greater benefits? We spoke with skin esthetician, owner of Skin Kitchen, Mumbai and master potion creator Diya Dembla.
"Our skin makes an instant connection with Avocado," points out Dembla who encourages use of avocado as a face mask on mature skin. Apart from the healthy omega 3 fats that heal dry skin, avocado also helps tighten open pores and reduce pigmentation.

White egg & Avocado Face mask:
  • Lemon juice – 1 Tbs
  • Egg white – 1
  •  ½ Avocado pulp 
Procedure: Extract pulp from one of the halves.  Mix egg white to the pulp and then add lemon juice and mix thoroughly. Spread this mixture on the neck and face evenly and massage it well into the skin. Egg white helps the mask to set in thoroughly. Allow it to sit on the skin for about 20 minutes and then rinse it off with warm water, pat dry. You skin now becomes oil free. Egg whites usually clear the oil and grime that get accumulated in the skin pores. It also reduces the sebum or oil production.

Avocado Face Mask Benefits: Application of avocado facial mask aids in keeping the skin young and delays the aging process. Avocado oil is a good source of collagen. Collagen is an agent which is responsible for maintaining skin elasticity. Avocado oil moisturizes the skin naturally and gives glow to the skin.
The profusion of enzymes and vitamins aids in dealing with various skin problems such as acne, dark spots       and inflammation. All these vitamins and minerals give complete nourishment to the skin. 

Positive affirmation for the day: Remember to spread the mask over your entire neck area as well as the neck is part of the face and should be treated with the same care.
You can use anyone of these avocado face masks to have a healthy looking skin.
