How To Make an Avocado Mask

Ingredients

1/2 Avocado

1 Egg Yolk

1 tbsp. Honey

1 tsp. Lemon Juice (optional)

Directions

Place honey in a microwaveable bowl and microwave on high for 20-30 seconds.

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.)

Add the egg yolk and warmed honey to the mashed avocado. Stir together until all the ingredients are mixed well together.

Apply to your face and leave on for twenty minutes. To remove the mask, use a warm, moist towel.
