Meanwhile, remove pit from avocado half and scoop avocado into a bowl. Using a fork, mash the avocado into a smooth consistency.

(If you plan on using the mask at a later time, or wish to save the rest of mixture, add the lemon juice now. This helps preserve the avocado and prevents it from turning brown.)
