DIY Pore Tightening Face Mask

Posted by Alexandra C. | Wednesday July 10, 2013

Whenever I see anyone with flawless skin I immediately want to know their secret, though few of us are comfortable enough to march right up and ask.

Some people are less shy about approaching strangers for their beauty intel, and this time the answer was a homemade face mask that tightens pores, is anti-inflammatory and moisturizes.

The mask contains avocado, yoghurt and turmeric. The avocado's "good" fats nourish the skin and minimize inflammation, while the yoghurt acts as a creamy and cooling base. Turmeric also has anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties making it excellent for eczema and acne.

To make the mask, mix together 2 Tbsp of plain yoghurt, 1/4 of a small avocado and 1/4 tsp of turmeric. The recipe can be adjusted based on your skincare needs, but keep in mind that turmeric is a bright yellow colour and can stain.

Would you try this mask?
