Egg and Honey Hydrating Facial Mask

1 egg
1/4 cup of coconut oil
1 teaspoon of honey

Scramble the egg and gradually add honey and coconut oil. The mass should look like mayonnaise. If it is too thick, add more coconut oil. If it is too runny, add a bit more honey.

Pour the mass into a plastic cup, close the cup tightly, and leave in the fridge overnight.

This mask is ready to be applied the next day. Scoop up some of the mask and freely apply all over the face. Leave it to rest for 10 minutes and then wash off with lukewarm water.

Keep the rest of the mask in the freezer and use any time your dried and tired face needs a moisture boost.

Moisturizing Avocado for Dry Skin

Ingredients:

1 avocado

1 teaspoon of apple vinegar

1 egg white

3 teaspoons of olive oil

Preparation:

Peel and mash avocado and start adding the rest of the ingredients. Egg white should be beaten before you put it in.
When the mass is done, apply to face and wash off after 20 minutes or so.
This mask provides great moisture for skin, making it soft and elastic.

I alternate using both of these masks weekly and really like the results that I get. I also recommend them to all my friends who like sun tanning, they are an excellent way to replenish the moisture of the skin after a long day in the sun.
