I spent Sunday like most Australian’s – celebrating Australia Day in the pool, drinking punch and listening to Triple J’s Hottest 100 countdown. It was a fantastic day but since then my skin has been dry and irritated and needs some rejuvenation.

After googling at home skin care I discovered that avocados are not just for eating – they’re also wonderful for your skin.

DIY AVOCADO OAT FACE MASK

Half an avocado
Half a cup of oats
Water

Cook oats in water according to packet instructions and cool
Mash avocado
Combine ingredients and place on face for 10-15 minutes
Wash off and pat dry

Note: the recipe makes enough for three or four masks, so invite the girls over and relax!

Even though I felt liked I’d been slimed, my skin feels smooth and fresh and smells fantastic! And my wallet is very happy cos this face mask cost less than $5.
