Now that you know how good avocado is for your skin, let’s see how to use it in homemade beauty recipes.

• Avocado facial cleanser: You can make a cleanser at home! Really, it’s simple. All you have to do is mix half an avocado with egg yolk and half a cup of milk, beat it all together to form a smooth lotion-like consistency and use the mixture to cleanse your face. The mix doesn’t just remove the toxins from your face, it also makes it look young and radiant.
• Avocado moisturizing mask: The nourishing nature of avocado along with its antiseptic quality, make it a great ingredient for a moisturising mask. Add honey and yogurt to it and slather the mixture on to your face for skin that’s soft, supple and devoid of dry spots. Remember to follow our skin care tip and rinse it after 20 minutes with trepid water.
• Oily skin avocado mask: If you thought avocado was only for dry skin, here’s a mask for oily skin. You’ll need lemon, egg white and mashed avocado – blend it into a smooth paste and apply it on your face, keep it on for 15 minutes and rinse with warm water. The lemon in the mask acts as a natural astringent and controls oil secretion, the egg white nourishes your skin and avocado balances the mixture.
• Avocado body butter: Why limit the usage of avocados to just your face, the nourishing fruit makes an awesome body butter. You’ll need a very ripe avocado for this. Scoop it out, mash it up and apply the paste on rough areas of your body like knees, heels and elbows. Let it stay on for half an hour and then wash off with cold water.
• Avocado hand scrub: Apart from being a good body butter, avocado could take care of your hand too! Mix lemon juice, oats and some avocado oil, use it to exfoliate your hand, wash and then moisturise with Dabur Gulabari Moisturising Lotion. You’ll be left with smooth and soft hands.
