DIY Hydrating Avocado, Honey & Oatmeal Mask

Hi my loves!!! Be sure to check out my video tutorial on how to make this super hydrating DIY honey, avocado and oatmeal mask! Now let's get into why this mask is great for your skin!

Avocado
Avocados are loaded with vitamin E, healthy fats and antioxidants to help the skin be healthy and smooth. Avocados are SUPER moisturizing and are a natural source of vitamins A, E and C, which help to fight and prevent free radical damage, which can cause premature aging. 

Honey
Honey is crazy good for your skin. It is a natural antibiotic which helps to fight existing acne. It contains anti-inflammatory properties which helps to reduce redness and inflammation that acne causes. It is chalk full of antioxidants and essential vitamins and minerals. And on top of it all it is a great moisturizer and nourishes your skin. These are just to name a few, but I think you probably get it - honey rocks!!

Oats
The uncooked oatmeal can be used as a very gentle exfoliator while also soothing the skin. Great for winter when the air is super dry! Ever used oatmeal for dry cracked hands or feet? Well now you know it works just a fabulous on your face as well!

Lemons
For starters, lemon juice is a citric acid which acts to exfoliate the skin. Lemon juice, as you probably already know, is also a natural bleaching agent which helps to fade acne scars. Lemon juice is a natural astringent which will help to dry out existing acne and helps to kill the bacteria on your face causing existing acne. Lemon juice also sends signals to the immune system stop inflammation.

Apple Cider Vinegar
This can help reduce redness and inflammation if you have acne prone skin. It will also brighten the skin leaving it fresh and glowing.
