Moisturizing Avocado Face Mask

Avocados are a great food and source of Vitamins C, E, and D.  They are also a good source of potassium as well as the minerals, copper and iron.  These properties make avocado masks great for people with dry, sun-exposed skin.  It's also a great mask for those of you that have developed red skin due to dryness!

Ingredients:

1/2 ripe avocado (remember to use the pulp closest to the skin because this is where a lot of the vitamins and minerals are located)
few drops of lemon juice
1 tbsp yogurt

Directions:

Take the avocado and mash it until it is mushy.

Add a few drops of lemon juice.  This helps make sure that the avocado doesn't turn black in color, and adds a natural cleaning agent to your face mask.

Add the 1 tbsp of yogurt and mix well until it is a paste.  The yogurt helps to soothe your dry skin as well as refine your pores.

Apply this onto your face (and neck if you want) and leave it on for about 10-15 minutes.  Rinse off thoroughly and pat dry.

Enjoy!
