DYI- Avocado Dry Skin Mask

If your suffering from dry winter skin your not alone!  I have had so many clients coming in for facials the past two weeks who are suffering from extreme dryness. 

The best thing for winter skin would be a custom blended facial from me at Omaha's Hair Choice http://www.omahashairchoice.com/

The next best thing is simple DIY facial masks using fresh ingredients everyone has access to!

Avocado Facial Mask:

2 Tbsp. Avocado (mashed)
1 Tbsp. Greek Yogurt
1 Tsp. Honey
Mix Avocado, Yogurt and Honey until smooth.  Apply to face and leave on for 20 minutes. Rinse with lukewarm water.

Benefits

• Avocado is rich in fatty acids, which can be used to moisturize the skin. Avocado or avocado oils are found in a number of skincare products. Avocado contains humectants  that attract and hold water to add moisture to your skin and the avocado oil will form a barrier to help seal in moisture and protect your skin from the elements.
  
  
• Yogurt has antibacterial properties and lactic-acid to clarify the pores and soften the skin.  The probiotics are helpful in naturally treating skin conditions like acne and eczema.
  
• Vitamins C and A, both known to reduce the signs of aging and fine lines.
