Avocados are excellent when it comes to moisturizing your skin.
When we first read about using foods as moisturizers it seemed weird, yet natural.
We were astonished by the power of this simple avocado moisturizer.
It worked a lot better than any commercial product that we’ve tried. It REALLY worked, and the best thing of all was that you could make it yourself.

First things first, here’s what we used:
 1 avocado (0.4lbs or about 180g)
 2 teaspoons of olive oil
 Optional: 1-2 drops essential oil (for scent)
Here’s how we did it:
 Mix avocado in your blender until super smooth
 Mix in the oil and scent if you don’t like the avocado smell
 Massage the end result on your skin until your skin sucks it up
This will store in a refrigerator for about a week. If there’s any green stuff left on your skin, just brush it off and you’re done.
Pretty easy, eh? Give it a try!

Now that you know what you’re skin type is, or close to it, let’s look at what kind of treatment each skin type needs.


#1 - Dry skin
Dry skin needs moisture. It’s vital that you stay moisturized at all times. You should also replace harsh hygiene products that can dry your skin.
Get a good natural lotion that you apply after showers. If your skin is still dry, try moisturizing each morning and night. That should take care of it.
If you still have trouble, check with your dermatologist and see if there’s a specific cause behind your problem.
#2 – Oily Skin
Oily skin types react well to clay or mud masks. Choose natural products that are specifically designed for oily skin.
Avoid alcohol based cleansers as it can cause your skin to produce even more oil. Using oil rich cleansers will help get the excess oils out of your skin, believe it or not!
Don’t be afraid of using a moisturizer. Even though your skin is oily, it still needs some moisture. Use an oil-free moisturizer for best results.

#3 – Normal skin
If you’re blessed with normal skin, you have an easy life ahead of you. The only thing you have to think about is correcting any areas that become too oily or too dry.
#4 – Combination Skin
Combination skin needs a combination of treatments. Use different care for different areas of your skin.
For example, people with combination skin usually have oily skin in their t-zone (chin, forehead, nose) and dry skin everywhere else.
#5 – Sensitive Skin
If you’re sensitive you should pay close attention to how you react to different products and substances.
Sensitive skin is good in a way, because it forces you to use natural products and nothing else, so thank your skin for that!
Examine your body and see where you have dry skin and where you have oily skin. Care for these areas differently and your skin will start looking better in no time!
If all of this is confusing to you, relax, you do not have to take it all in. Just know that different skin types may need a different type of care.

In order to know what your skin needs, you need to know what type of skin you have.
Don’t worry, it’s easy…
And if not, experimenting has always worked wonders for us .
Here are the characteristics of five different skin types. See if you can find one that sounds familiar.

#1 - Dry skin
Dry skin has small pores, and is rough, flaky, and often chapped. It feels dry and tight. Lines and wrinkles are more visible.
#2 – Oily Skin
Oily skin is known for its large pores, blackheads, uneven skin, acne, and/or blemishes. If you have oily skin your skin will almost always feel greasy and look shiny.
#3 – Normal skin
Normal skin has small to medium sized pores. They feel neither dry nor oily. People with normal skin usually have a clear complexion and easy-to-maintain skin.
#4 – Combination Skin
Combination skin is oily in some places, but dry in others. So it can be quite tricky to determine what’s going on if you have combination skin.
It’s common to have oily skin in your t-zone (chin, forehead, nose), while cheeks are normal or dry.
#5 – Sensitive Skin
Think about sensitive skin as an add-on. You usually have one of the above skin types PLUS sensitive skin.
Sensitive skin reacts to all sorts of things such as:
 clothes
 cosmetics
 hair removal
 lotion
 temperature
Have you identified your type? If not, don’t worry. It’ll come to you with time.
Let’s move forward and look at what the different skin types need…

When you’re reading the label, look for ingredients you could eat, and stay away from ingredients you have a hard time pronouncing.
Products that are natural can be difficult to find, because they have a short shelf-life without chemical preservatives.
This is why we’ve started experimenting with homemade skin care recipes. You do not need a special blend of magic ingredients to make your skin look good.
All you need to know is your skin type and what kinds of foods (yes, foods!) that will complement your skin.
With that said, let’s move on and find out what type you are so you can start taking steps to improving your skin!

Skin care products contain a truckload of chemicals and substances that are harmful for your skin.
If you use these products for prolonged periods of time, you’ll start to see your skin deteriorating.
Most of these companies claim to use safe ingredients, but when you do some digging, you discover the truth.
So, what exactly can you do about all this? Where do you start?
You start by learning which ingredients to avoid, and begin buying natural skin care products.
Here are some ingredients that you never want to put on your skin:

 Acrylamides
 DEA – Diethanolamine
 Dioxanes
 Parabens
 Paraffin
 Petrolatum
 Phenol carbolic acid
 Propylene glycol
 Sodium laureth sulfate
 Sodium lauryl sulfate
 Toluene
 Ureas

There are many more harmful ingredients, but we think these are the most important to avoid.
We chose not to go into more detail on these ingredients, because we want to look at the solution instead!
