Today I’m sharing something a little different than usual. Instead of eating your food ~ let’s play with our food! Who says avocados are only for eating? Not I….Did you know they are as wonderful for your skin as they are on your plate? Avocados From Peru sent me a package & this is one of the many ways I enjoyed it.
This homemade Avocado, Lemon & Honey Face Mask is an inexpensive indulgence, a great way to moisturize & clean out those pores & keep your pretty face glowing!
Let’s take a look…
- Avocado: Filled with vitamins & moisturizing. Vitamin E, healthy fats and antioxidants can help keep your skin smooth.
- Lemon: Astringent & clarifying. Contains citric acid which might help to brighten the skin.
- Honey: Moisturizing & can also help brighten the skin. Honey has natural antibacterial & antimicrobial properties as well.

If I could part with any of my avocados and not eat them all first, I could definitely make this 🙂 Sounds perfect & Pinned!
Thanks Averie! I agree it is very hard to part with such a delicious avocado, but at least you can eat the other hat!

Hi Marla
Can this mask be preserved like put in the fridge
Yes. I make a small amount and put in airtight container or ziplock bag. Simply pull it out and apply the amount you need after cleansing.
Very good idea! So happy you are enjoying this mask. We love it!!
I tried this mask and I love it:) I loved how smooth my face was after using it. I could tell when I had it on that it was working. My only concern was that it got messy,but I realized I didn’t break it down enough.
