Avocado and Honey Face Mask to Soften and Nourish the Skin
Avocados are good for nourishing the body, and softening the skin. Inside the rough skin of the avocado fruit is a power house of vitamins. According to the California Avocado Commission:
"Avocados contribute nearly 20 vitamins, minerals and beneficial plant compounds that can
contribute to the nutrient quality of your diet."
Honey, on the other hand is a natural antibiotic: According to the Honey Association:
"Honey is a mild antiseptic and can help to keep external wounds, such as cuts and minor
burns, clean and free from infection. By absorbing the moisture around the wound, honey
can help to prevent the growth of bacteria."
