Chop avocado fruit and scoop out the pulp. Crush the pulp until it is creamy. Add yogurt and honey to the pulp and stir/whisk well. Cut 2 slices of cucumber. Apply the paste evenly over clean neck and face. Massage it well into the skin. Keep cucumber slices on the eyes and relax for 10–15 minutes until the mask sets. Wash your face using lukewarm water and pat dry.

Avocado fruit has many vitamins and minerals such as zinc, vitamin A, potassium, vitamin B, sodium, magnesium, copper, vitamin K, iron, calcium and vitamin E. All these vitamins and minerals give complete nourishment to the skin.
Avocado oil is a good source of collagen. Collagen is an agent which is responsible for maintaining skin elasticity. Application of avocado facial mask aids in keeping the skin young and supple and delays the aging process. The profusion of enzymes and vitamins aids in dealing with various skin problems such as acne, dark spots and inflammation.
Honey provides a calming and anti-aging effect without irritating the skin, and helps replenish necessary skin moisture, especially during the winter months.
Olive Oil brings deep moisture to the skin as well as creating anti-aging effect
