    Two ways to use avocado

    Here at beautyheaven HQ, we LOVE avocado. Whether it’s in a delicious guacamole dip, smashed on toast or spread on crackers with crumbled fetta (is your mouth watering yet?), we can’t get enough of the stuff. And that’s just how we eat it. Avocados are a staple in our beauty routines, too!

    Rich in antioxidants, monounsaturated fatty acids, and vitamins C and E, the green fruit is amazing for firming, hydrating and softening skin. It can also help to protect the skin from environmental damage and regenerate damaged skin cells.

    Yep, it can work wonders in improving your skin’s health, so if you’re partial to a good face mask, watch our video above to learn how to whip up a nourishing avocado face mask. Plus, we’ve got a delish three-ingredient guacamole recipe you won’t be able to resist!

    If you don’t feel like watching the video, check out the recipe below.

    I've made avocado masks a few times. Before washing it off I use the skin of the avocado to exfoliate my face by rubbing it in circular motion over my face.

    I am going to give this a go, it sounds lovely.

    Oh, completely forgot about this avo mask idea! They were so cheap recently, but I am not a fan of eating them, could've been using it on my face! Hm...next time at the markets I am so getting them =D

    I just love DIY's !! I much prefer to make my own masks, scrubs , lotions etc ! Saving this little mask recipe !

    Nicoler112 4 Oct 2016 4:16 PM

    maybe when the price of avocados comes down.... cheaper to buy a mask..

    blackkittykat 1 Oct 2016 10:00 PM

    I love them but I think I would want to eat the mask if I had avocados on my face!

    Megan Moore 19 Jul 2016 12:05 PM

    Love avo masks!!! My face is so clear and glows afterwards. Would 10/10 recommend

    Great to know how to make a avocado face mask! So good and nourishing for the skin.

    Guacamole is delicious. I'd like to make an avocado face mask one day.

    Sweety7 20 Jun 2016 2:27 PM

    Will try this face mask soon... Looks quite appealing. At the moment I am obsessed with one ingredient and use it in most of my DIY face mask and that is Honey.. (it is super moisturizing and with regular use it brightens up your face)

    Yum I love eating avocado with balsamic vinegar, not sure about putting on my face though.

    annieleex 2 Apr 2016 9:49 PM

    Love this

    thelifeoflaura 2 Apr 2016 8:39 PM

    Love these DIY's! I'm not a huge avocado fan, but I'm sure it would be a good face mask!

    talk-a-lot 24 Feb 2016 9:30 PM

    I would be more inclined to eat the avocado than put it on my face. The mask is something I should try sometime.

    Yohanna 14 Dec 2015 5:02 PM

    I just smudge avo on my face, olive oil is too heavy and I use lemon half as a loofah after in the shower anyways. Love ideas you give to all of us

    Kassalee 17 Nov 2015 5:13 PM

    I did make one with cacao in it as well - smelt great !

    Yohanna 14 Dec 2015 5:03 PM

    choco mousse on the face, yummmooo

    Kassalee 17 Nov 2015 5:10 PM

    At the current price of avocado I don't even buy them to eat - but this is a great way to use them when they are cheap.

    Seezora 7 Apr 2016 5:38 PM

    Absolutely - the price is a killer right now. They're coming down just a little, but still very expensive.

    Looks delicious

    TheUglyDuckling 21 Oct 2015 10:18 PM

    I want this on my toast, not on my face!

    robyn smithwick 20 Oct 2015 5:35 PM

    I must try this. Sounds good.
