How To Make Avocado Mask for Dry Skin

Step 1: 
Mash up an avocado
Use a sharp knife to cut an avocado in half, and remove the pit. Scoop out the avocado flesh from one half of the fruit, and place it in a bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork until it’s fairly smooth.

• If the avocado is small, you may want to scoop out the flesh from both halves to use for your mask. You should have enough for a mask that you can spread all over your face.

Step 2:
Mix the avocado with the yogurt, olive oil, and honey
Once you’ve mashed the avocado, add 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of plain yogurt, 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of olive oil, and 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of organic honey to the bowl. Use a spoon to fully combine all of the ingredients in a smooth paste.

• If the mask seems runny and you’ve only added half of the avocado, mix in some more of the flesh to thicken it up.
• The omega fatty acids in the avocado and olive oil help heal cracks between the skin cells that can occur when your skin is dehydrated.
• Honey and yogurt are soothing ingredients that help moisturize and soften the skin.

Step 3:
Apply the mask and let it sit for 15 to 20 minutes
When the mask is fully mixed, use your fingers to carefully spread it all over your face. Allow the mask to sit on your skin for 15 to 20 minutes so the omega fatty acids in the avocado and olive oil have time to penetrate.

• Be careful when you’re applying the mask around your hairline. The honey can be very sticky if it gets in your hair.

 
Step 4:
Wash the mask off with warm water
When you’ve let the mask sit on your skin for at least 15 minutes, rinse it off with warm water from the sink. Because the mask can be fairly sticky, you may want to use a washcloth to help remove it.

• Be sure to rinse especially well along your hairline.

How To Make Honey and Aloe Vera Gel For Hair Growth

Benefits Of Aloe Vera For Hair

A lot of people frequently ask me “is aloe vera good for your hair?” And “what does aloe vera do for your hair?” The answer to the first question is—Yes! Aloe vera is great for your hair! I might sound like I’m exaggerating here, but aloe vera is one of the most magical and beneficial ingredients you could put in your hair. Don’t believe me? You don’t have to. But you can’t dispute these facts:

• Aloe vera contains proteolytic enzymes, which help heal and repair the damaged cells in your scalp. This improves the health of the hair follicles and indirectly boosts healthy and faster hair growth.
• Not only does the proteolytic enzyme help heal the scalp, but it also helps stimulate dormant hair follicles, promoting hair regrowth.
• It also helps curb hair fall and controls hair shedding, ensuring that your hair remains thick and voluminous.
• It has anti-inflammatory properties that help soothe your scalp of irritation and aggravation.
• Its antifungal and antiviral properties to treat dandruff and flaking.
• Aloe vera’s high content of protein, vitamins, and minerals help it nourish your follicles and hair efficiently.
• The moisture content of aloe vera helps condition your hair, locking in nutrients and hydration. 

• How To Make Honey and Aloe Vera For Hair Growth

Ingredients:

• 5 tbsp Aloe Vera Gel
• 3 tbsp Coconut Oil
• 2 tbsp Honey
• Shower Cap

Process:

1. In a bowl, combine all the ingredients until you get a smooth mixture.
2. Start by massaging this mixture into your scalp and then work it down to the tips of your hair. Focus on the tips as these are the most damaged parts of your hair.
3. Once all of your hair is covered in the mixture, throw a shower cap on and wait for about 25 minutes.
4. Wash your hair with cool water and shampoo. Finish with conditioner.

Why This Works

Coconut oil and honey make an excellent conditioning combination which helps seal moisture to your hair shafts. This mask will contribute to maintaining your hair, so you won’t have to get trims as often, letting you retain your hair’s length.

How To Clean Your Makeup Brushes

How do you actually clean the brushes?

Follow these seven steps for cleaner, good-as-new brushes and blenders.

1. Wet the bristles with lukewarm water.
2. Place a drop of makeup brush cleanser or soap into the palm of your hand.
3. Gently massage the tips of the bristles in your palm.
4. Rinse the bristles.
5. Squeeze out the excess moisture with a clean towel.
6. Reshape the brush head.
7. Let the brush dry with its bristles hanging off the edge of a counter, thereby allowing it to dry in the correct shape. Never let your brushes dry on a towel — the bristles can become mildewed. 

Mid-wash, keep the base of the brush head away from soap and water. The bristles are glued to the base, and water and detergent can cause the glue to disintegrate and the bristles to come loose and shed. Do not dry vertically — this will cause water to leak into the ferrule [the piece that joins the bristles to the wand], which will also loosen the glue and lead to bristle loss.
