Hello friends !!

Today, I'm going to share with one of my own favourite do-it-yourself facial mask/scrub. It can simply be used as an exfoliant or a face mask or even both ! It's made purely with all natural and organic ingredients and contains no little hidden nasty chemicals. This mask/scrub is great for all skin types and will leave your skin feeling soft and rejuvenated. It is also a great alternative to the expensive skincare treatments; you can do this in the comfort of your own home. Sounds good ? Let's get started !

The Avocado and Green Tea scrub/mask

• Avocado contains high amounts of Vitamin B12 and fatty acids which is great in helping replenish and moisturise your skin.
• Green tea is calming as it has antioxidant properties which helps fight the free radicals in our skin, reduce redness, contains detoxifying qualities to flush out the toxins.
• Lemon contains AHAs and BHAs which helped clear up acne and removes dead skin cells.
• Turmeric Powder is a fantastic exfoliating agent to help reduce wrinkles and has anti-bacterial properties to help soothe inflammation 

What You Will Need:

• half an avocado 
• a organic green tea tea bag
• half a lemon
• half a table spoon of turmeric powder
• clean makeup brush or hands to apply
• a small mixing bowl

How To Make it:

1. Cut up an avocado and scoop half of it into a bowl.
2. Freshly brew a hot cup of green tea and wait for it to steep for a few minutes.
3. Strain the tea bag and empty the tea leaves into the bowl.
4. Add the juice of half a fresh lemon.
5. Pour a teaspoon of turmeric powder into the mixture.
6. Mix and mash all the ingredients well in the bowl.
7. Apply a thin and even layer on clean, dry skin.
8. Leave the mask on for 10-15 minutes.
9. After 10-15 minutes, use circular motions to gently scrub the mask off your skin, this helps exfoliate your skin too.
10. Rinse off with warm water and pat skin dry with a clean towel.

Looks terrible but it's full of all that goodness

The mask is on !!

I would recommend steaming your face first (pour hot water in a bowl and place your face over it, drapping a towel over your head to allow the steam onto your face) to open up your pores and let the scrub work its magic.

And Voilà, you're done! My skin felt really soft and supple after letting the mask sit and scrubbing it off !

Hope you enjoyed this DIY mask and scrub !
