Feeding your Skin

You are what you eat, that's what I've always been taught, the reasoning for me trying to eat better now, as it shows on your skin. So you feed yourself, why not feed your skin?

Your skin has such a hard time, it gets blasted by the changing weather, dried out with central heating and air conditioners, then suffocated by pollution. Don't you think it deserves a treat?

The avocado if perfect for treating your skin, they are packed full of minerals, such as potassium, but also contain vitamins A, E, B and K. A facial mask made out of an avocado pear will leave your skin feeling fresh, smooth, soft and nourished.

Avocado Mask

You will need:
  • One ripe avocado
  • Two table spoons of honey
  • A bowl
  • A spoon
  • A refridgerator
Step One

First you need to cut the avocado and scoop out the flesh, this should be rather easy if it's ripe. Add the flesh and honey into a bowl, mash together until you create a paste. A gooey, icky looking, but not bad tasting paste.

Step One


Step Two
Apply the paste to your face, as you would any other face mask. I also applied the smoother paste to my under eyes and lips.



Step Two

Step Three
Kick back with a book for 30minutes.


Step Three


Step Four
Once the 30minutes are up, rinse off with warm water whilst massaging your face in circular motions. Once it's rinsed off, wash your face and pat dry with a towel.


Step Four


Et voila super soft skin! Just carry on with your usual skin care routine and moisturise your way to a beautiful glow, soft, kissable skin!
As you can see, I did this myself and my skin feels great! I hope this helps!

Peace, Love and all that jazz. xo
