How to Make:
Extract the juice from a ripe tomato and half of a cucumber. Mix the juices together in a bowl and refridgerate for twenty minutes. Apply mask to clean dry skin and leave on for fifteen minutes. Wash off with warm water.
Avocados are full of vitamin A and E and antioxidants that stave off off skin-damaging free radicals. They’re a great source of biotin, which can ibe beneficial for dry skin.

Make half a cup of oatmeal according to instructions. Mash half a ripe avocado and mix it with the oatmeal. Apply mask to clean, dry skin. Keep it on for fifteen minutes. Rinse off with lukewarm water.

As with everything you put on your face, if any of these masks feel uncomfortable, wash off straight away.
