I recently spent a week on vacation at Marco Island in Florida. The
weather was great except for a few afternoon thunderstorms. Fortunately
they move through quickly so we could enjoy our evenings out.
I spent my days on the beach reading or in the water. Although I
used my sun block religiously I still got a little burned. I have to
admit the one day I didn’t use it is the day I went wave running and
ended up with tingling skin. So that night I decided I had better treat
myself to a little “skin healing” before I headed back into the sun.
After dinner I took a cool shower then headed into the kitchen to
find something to mix up as mask for my face, neck and shoulders. I
loved it so much I have to share the recipe.
Here’s What You’ll Need:
- 1 medium ripe avocado
- 1 cucumber
- 3 tbsp. all natural plain yogurt
- 2 tbsp. all natural honey
Peel and slice two pieces of cucumber to place over your eyes.
Cucumber is the perfect addition to your avocado face mask, as it
cleans, nourishes, hydrates and helps reduce circles underneath the
eyes. Slice the remaining cucumber in half (the long way) and remove
any seeds. Place it in a blender and blend a bit. Add the avocado,
yogurt, and honey then blend until creamy. The Avocado can help your
skin maintain its healthy and beautiful glow. Yogurt is a natural and
gentle cleanser. Honey has the ability to kill germs on the skin and
can reduce swelling and inflammation, giving the skin youthful
appearance.
Splash your face with warm water and pat dry. Apply a generous
layer of the face mask to your face, neck and shoulders. Place the
cucumber slices over your eyes, lay back and relax. Allow the mask to set for at least 15 minutes then rinse thoroughly with warm water, and patting dry. You must try this and let me know now you like it.
