Beauty Tips – Carrot And Avocado Mask Recipe For Dry SKin This wonderful mask for dry skin involves a few more ingredients than my popular and more basic Avocado Face Mask for Dry Skin. This face mask is all about the antioxidants, which are great for anti-aging. Potasssium-rich carrots prevent skin dryness and also has anti-inflammatory properties, helping to revitalise and tone the skin. Avocados, honey and egg yolks are all moisturising. Ingredients: 1 carrot, peeled and de-stemmed 1/2 avocado 1 tablespoon honey 1/2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (any oil in your cabinet can work here including vegetable oil) Lemon juice Preparation: 1. Steam or boil the carrot until it’s so tender a fork can pierce it easily. 2. Mash the carrot with a fork until it becomes a creamy consistency OR blend the carrot in a blender until it forms a pulp. 3. Mash the avocado in with the carrot pulp. Note: The avocado must be one of those wonderfully ripe, mushy avocados. If it’s not ripe, it will be hard to mash with a fork. I recommend putting a non-ripe avocado in the blender with the carrot to blend. 4. Add honey, lemon juice and egg yolk and mix together by hand. 5. Spread over a clean face and leave for 15 minutes. 6. You can mash up the other half of the avocado with lemon and sea salt and enjoy a nice little snack while you wait for the mask to do its thing. 7. Wash off mask with a warm wash cloth and pat skin dry with a towel. Then, apply moisturizer.
