Therefore, when preparing avocado masks, you should remember this, using only the pulp. Darsonval can be used as an even more effective remedy in the fight against wrinkles.

Rules for preparing and applying a mask

• Avocado face mask against wrinkles at home prepared only from ripe fruits, which are soft and retain the bulk of the beneficial substances. This pulp is easy to cut and peel. The consistency of the fruit is not too liquid, so the product using avocado is better absorbed as it does not run off the skin.

  

The finished mixture is used immediately after mixing all the ingredients - this will preserve more useful chemical elements.

• To create a useful mass, you will need a blender or cutlery (fork or spoon). The pulp is always crushed to a thick pulp. In this form it will be easier to create a product of the desired consistency. Other components are mixed with it in a bowl, the main thing is that there is no allergy to them. All elements must be cleaned and turned into a homogeneous mass.

  

• Before applying the mask, the skin is cleansed of cosmetic and other impurities. After this, a scrub is applied for a few minutes, but if the skin is inflamed, it is better not to perform this action. The exposure time of such a mask does not exceed half an hour, the duration depends on the components.
• Warm water is always used to wash off the mask. Cosmetologists do not recommend using special products for washing, be it milk or gel; it is better to apply a special cream afterwards that will soften or moisturize the skin.

The benefits of nature for all skin types

To prepare the cosmetic product, the pulp of fresh fruits is used, which is mashed with a fork or using a blender. Any mask is applied to the face, neck and décolleté in a thick layer, left for 15-20 minutes, then washed off with warm water. In combination with other components, an avocado mask can have a variety of effects. So, it often contains honey, egg yolk, cottage cheese, olive oil, fruits of other plants and much more. The most popular auxiliary component of nourishing masks is honey. If you are allergic to this product, you can replace it with cottage cheese.

Secrets of making masks at home

• A mixture of the fruit with other components makes the mask more useful: it smooths out wrinkles, eliminates inflammation, relieves flaking and dryness;
• The fruit used should be fresh, then it will be easier to prepare a mask from it;
• The skin of the avocado is first removed, and the resulting pulp is finely chopped;
• Preparation begins with getting rid of the fruit pit. When interacting with certain products (milk, yogurt, etc.), the seed releases harmful substances;

  

• The prepared avocado mixture should be used immediately and not left in the refrigerator. The mask will quickly deteriorate if not used immediately.
