5. Avocado and carrot face mask
Avocados help improve skin health and give you a soft look and an instant glow. A homemade facial mask will tone and rejuvenate your skin. Cut a ripe avocado in half then peel and mash one of the halves. Cook the carrot until it becomes soft. Cut it up and add it to the mashed avocado. Add olive oil to the mixture and blend the mixture. Before applying the mixture, make sure your face is clean. Smooth the mask over your face and avoid getting any of the mixture in to the eyes. Leave the mask in place for 20 minutes then rinse your face with warm water. Rinse again with cold water to close the pores then use a dry towel to pat your face
6. Oatmeal
Oatmeal contains both antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that make it ideal for sensitive skin. It can also treat a variety of skin disorders like eczema, sunburns and poison ivy. You can use the oatmeal in a couple of ways; pour one cup of oatmeal (plain) into your bathtub and fill it with warm water. Add a few drops of lavender oil and soak in the solution for 15 to 30 minutes. This will cleanse your skin, soften it, protect it from exterior irritants and lock in moisture. You can also use oatmeal as a face mask. Mix whole oatmeal with warm water to form a paste then add a spoonful of honey. Rub this onto your skin in circular motions. It will cleanse your skin, alleviate dryness and relieve inflamed skin.
