Today I have a tutorial on making an avocado face mask that not only cleanses skin but also moisturizes! I have oily skin and this mask has done a good job at keeping my skin from getting supper oily and also keep acne on the down low. This mask will also be beneficial to every skin type! Do not use if you are allergic to any of the following ingredients!
Here are what you will need:
- 1/2 an avocado
- 1 tsp of honey
- 1/4 of a lemon
- a small container to store leftovers
- stirring device
Not only is avocado fantastic for eating, it is an amazing ingredient for a simple face mask. Please keep in mind that this avocado mask does not last forever. If kept in the fridge it will last at most for about a week. So now lets jump into the directions.

Step 2: Avocado browns really fast due to oxidization, so to keep it looking more fresh squeeze the lemon onto your already mushed avocado. Lemon is also a fantastic remedy for acne and will help reduce pimples!!
Step 3 (*optional): After you squeeze the lemon onto the avocado nows the time to incorporate the brown sugar. This step is for an exfoliating effect to help rid the face of dead skin. I usually take a few extra brown sugar packets whenever I make a quick run to Starbucks or The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf.
Step 4: Now is the time to incorporate the moisturizing effect of this mask. Honey is a great natural moisturizer for the skin and is great when combined with avocado. Just drizzle in the honey and stir it up well.
Ta-da! You just finished your avocado face mask!!!
You may use it now or save it for later use.
How to use mask:
- rinse face with warm water
- apply a thin layer of avocado face mask to face
- let mask dry for 10-15 min
- wipe avocado off face with damp paper towel or rag
- rinse off with cold water
- use your favorite moisturizer
