Naturally Lefty

Interesting fact: Kourtney Kardashian uses this natural face mask for her skincare too! 🙂 (per FarmHouse Fresh)

Did you know that avocados are nutritious for your body and your face too? Here are some benefits of using mashed avocado or an avocado mask as part of your nightly routine.

Deep Hydration: Avocado is rich in healthy fats, monounsaturated fats that deeply hydrate your skin. As I grow older, my face has become drier, so applying this mask has helped with hydration.

Nutrient-Rich: Avocados are loaded with vitamins E, C, K and folate. These nutrients nourish the skin and promote a healthy complexion which may also help reduce the signs of aging. I can definitely tell a difference in my skin! 🙂

Antioxidant Protection: Avocados contain antioxidants such as lutein and zeaxanthin that can help protect our skin from damage caused by free radicals. These antioxidants can help slow down our aging process… who doesn’t want that?! 😉

Soothes and Moisturizes Irritated Skin: The natural oil found in avocados can help calm, sooth, and moisturize irritated skin. This is beneficial for those of us (including me) with sensitive skin or redness-prone skin.

Collagen Production: Vitamin C in avocados may support collagen production that can improve our skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of aging – fine lines and wrinkles.

Exfoliation: Avocados can help remove dead skin cells and make your skin smoother and more radiant. I feel fresh after using my avocado mask!

Gentle on the Skin and Safe: Avocado is a natural ingredient and is normally tolerated by most skin types.

Eco-Friendly: Skin care products that can avocado are eco-friendly and normally contain fewer chemicals. Be sure to read all of the ingredients on the packaging to ensure it’s natural and safe for your skin.

While face masks made from avocados are beneficial for our skin, make sure you perform a patch test on a small area (side of your face or on your hand) to ensure you don’t have any adverse reactions.
