The Best Avocado Facemask... Ever

Have you ever made homemade face and body products before? If not you should..not only are they easy to make but natural products are the way to go for so many reasons, the most important one is that you will avoid the Cancer causing agents found in most over the counter products you buy at the store.When buying anything for my face or body I tend to stick with Dr Bonners Magic Soaps, Lavera or Burts Bees lotions & cosmetics, Weleda rosewater face cleanser and California Baby for the boys. A good face mask however is not farther than my fruit bowl, feel free to switch this recipe up..variations would be adding more lemon juice, puree of 1/4  cucumber, a little olive oil.... either way you choose it will leave your skin silky smooth and luminous when left on for 10 min. I like to exfoliate with salt lemon and ivory soap before doing a mask..

Best Avocado Face Mask

Avocado are in season & in addition to utilizing them on your face and body eat em up!Here's a fun fact about Avocados.. they used to be dinosaur food some 50 million years ago in California. Did you know one avocado has 3X more potassium than a banana? It is considered to be " a perfect food."Meaning it could be ones sole source of nutrition. They feed nutrients to the blood.. coat and protect the lungs & large intestines.. and balance out the liver. In homeopathy it can be used for everything from ulcers to insomnia to colitis.Want beautiful skin and hair eat Avocados, high in Vit E & Beta Carotene smashed up they make a great hair conditioner too! I like to dice mine up & add them to everything from fruit salads to tacos to eggs, halve them & stuff with seafood salad or my favorite drizzle w a tad olive oil and lemon juice with garlic sea salt and pepper..

Here is a little Tip for today, hope everyone is enjoying their Friday with family, friends and fun.
