HYDRATE & SOFTEN AVO MASK
For sensitive, dry and/or texture skin, as well as any skin type that needs some moisture through a gentle mask. Avocado helps to calm itchy skin and heal any dry patches. Oats soak up any excess oils and reduce inflammation while removing dead skin cells through a gentle exfoliation. Both ingredients contain antioxidant properties that do wonders for dry skin!
- 1/2 avocado
- 1 tbsp organic raw honey - manuka is best
*honey should have granules*
- 2 tbsp oats mixed with 2 tbsp water and a teaspoon of baking soda blended in a food processor to make a paste.
Directions:
blend oats, water, and baking soda in a food processor to make a paste, then add the rest of the ingredients and blend all together! If you do not have a food processor you can manually mash them up and leave the oats whole, softening them in the microwave for 15 seconds prior to mixing.
Once ready apply even to the skin and leave on for 10-20 minutes. This mask will not dry up as it is mean to soften and hydrate the skin so make sure you keep aware of the time!
PURIFY & GLOW CLAY MASK
Indian healing clay and turmeric powder are a match made in heaven to deeply cleanse and brighten the skin, to achieve that healthy GLOW. The clay is known for ridding sebum in the body that leads to excess oil and acne, and reduce risk of inflections and inflammation. Turmeric has powerful antioxidant and anti inflammatory properties that will soothe the skin and do WONDERS to brighten dark spots and rid of scarring.
This mask is suited for oily, textured, uneven skin and any skin type looking to brighten and heal the from scars and trapped impurities. Because it is a powerful mask, I recommend limiting the routine to once or twice a week.
- 1 tbsp Indian healing clay
- 1 tsp turmeric powder
- 1 tsp or less apple cider vinegar
*apple cider vinegar is great to act as a toner; however it can be harsh on very sensitive skin, avoid this step if you have extremely dry skin or any acne scarring/wounds that may be healing at the moment.
- 1 tbsp raw organic honey
- 2 tbsp water
Directions: mix the Indian clay, turmeric powder then add the wet ingredients: honey, ACV, and water. Apply to the face and leave on for 10-20 minutes or until you notice the mask has dried fully.
To wash off, use a warm damp towel and gently rub off, then proceed with your moisturizer and a Vitamin E oil for extra nourishment.
