4 homemade natural facial MASKS

Avocado Carrot Cream Mask
This mask combines avocados, which are rich in Vitamin E, with carrots,which are high in beta-carotene and antioxidants, and cream, which is high in calcium and protein. These ingredients will rebuild skin collagen, improve tone and texture, and fade age spots.
• 1 avocado, mashed
• 1 carrot, cooked and mashed
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1 egg, beaten
• 3 tablespoons honey
Preparation: Combine all ingredients in a bowl until smooth. Spread gently over your face and neck. Leave in place 10-15 minutes. Rinse with cool water and follow with your favorite toner.










Frozen Egg & Honey Facial Mask
Recommended for dry skin
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted (but not hot)
• 1 tbs. honey
Preparation:
Step 1: Beat the egg in a small bowl until frothy and well-mixed. Slowly add the liquid coconut oil and honey, beating until your mask is the consistency of mayonnaise.
Step 2: Take an empty toilet tissue roll and set it on end in a clean bowl. Spoon the mixture into the cardboard toilet paper roll (or an empty deodorant container). Place tube, in the bowl, in the freezer overnight.
Step 3: To use, peel away just the top 1/4 inch of the cardboard roll and smooth the frozen stick over your face (think of it as a push up pop). Leave your mask on for 5 to 10 minutes, then rinse off with warm water.
Return the cream stick covered with plastic wrap and frozen between uses. Particularly soothing on a sunburn. Keeps indefinitely.
