Fresh fruit is a great cosmetic for healthy skin and hair since it's rich in vitamins, minerals and many more ingredients that makes a fruit mask a treat for any skin type. Below you can find some recipes for different skin types.

Avocado mask for all skin types:

1 teaspoon natural honey

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

2-3 drops of chamomile essential oil

Pulse all ingredients in blender until smooth. Clean you face and neck and pat dry. Gently apply the mask to face and neck with your hands. Make sure not to apply it around your eyes and mouth. Do not massage it in too deeply. Leave the mask on for about 10-20 minutes. Rinse with warm water, pat skin dry.

Avocado makes a wonderful skin hydration facial mask since it contains a lot of potassium, vitamins and natural oils.
