Avocado and Milk Cheek Mask
Ripe avocado mashed with milk is a once-a-week mask for dry cheeks. It stays on for a short time and is rinsed off. It does not feed the skin or repair dryness.
About this avocado milk cheek mask
A ripe avocado mashes into a creamy paste, and a spoon of milk loosens it enough to spread on dry cheeks. This mask is for that drier area, about once a week, not for an oily forehead every day. Use fruit that is ripe and mild, not one that has browned all the way through.
Rinse after about ten minutes. The mask may feel soft while it is on, and that is only a feel, not a change in the skin. It does not fix flaking from illness, weather damage, or a rash. Skip it if milk bothers you.
Ingredients
- half a ripe avocado
- 1 tablespoon milk
- only the ripe mashed avocado flesh
How to prepare
- Mash the ripe avocado until no hard bits remain.
- Stir in milk until the mask spreads easily but does not run.
How to use
- Wash the face and pat it dry. Apply the mask on dry cheeks only.
- Keep it off the eyes, the lips, and broken skin.
- Leave it for about ten minutes, then rinse and pat dry. Use it once a week.
Helpful habits
- If the cheeks are not dry, skip the mask. It is not a whole-face pack.
- Mash only what you need. Avocado turns brown quickly.
Precautions
- External use only. Do not eat the mask after it has been on the face.
- Patch test on the inner arm and wait a day before the cheeks.
- Do not use it on broken, cut, or sunburnt skin. Rinse if it stings.
