These antioxidants help prevent signs of ageing, promote healing, and protect your skin from environmental damage.
This mask will hydrate & nourish skin and deliver a lovely chocolatey hit of antioxidants to your skin. 

 

Ingredients You will need:

The Benefits:

Avocado: Rich in healthy fats, vitamins, and antioxidants, avocados deeply hydrate and nourish the skin. They are particularly effective in soothing dry or irritated skin, leaving it soft and supple.

Cacao Powder: Cacao is a powerhouse of antioxidants, which help to protect the skin from free radicals and environmental damage. It also contains anti-inflammatory properties that can calm and soothe the skin.

Agave Nectar: Agave nectar is a natural humectant, meaning it helps to retain moisture in the skin. It’s also known for its antibacterial properties, which can help keep your skin clear and blemish-free.

Argan Skin Rescue/Radiance Firming Facial Oil: These oils are rich in essential fatty acids and vitamin E, which help to repair and rejuvenate the skin. They also provide an extra layer of hydration and help to improve skin elasticity.

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Avocado:

  • Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh into a mixing bowl.
  • Mash the avocado until it’s smooth and free of lumps.

2. Add the Cacao Powder:

  • Add 2 tablespoons of cacao powder or unsweetened cocoa powder to the mashed avocado.
  • Mix thoroughly until the cacao is fully incorporated.

3. Sweeten with Agave Nectar:

  • Add 1 tablespoon of agave nectar to the mixture.
  • Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

4. Add the Essential Oil:

  • Add 1-2 drops of Argan Skin Rescue or 2 drops of Radiance Firming Facial Oil to the bowl.
  • Mix until the oil is evenly distributed throughout the mask.

5. Apply the Mask:

  • Using clean fingers or a brush, apply the mask generously to your face and neck, avoiding the eye area.
  • Relax and let the mask sit for 10 minutes, allowing the ingredients to work their magic.

6. Rinse Thoroughly:

  • Rinse off the mask with warm water, gently massaging your skin in circular motions.
  • Pat your face dry with a clean towel and follow up with your favourite moisturiser.
