Avocados are virtually the only fruit that contains heart-healthy monounsaturated fat aka good fat! California Avocados are also naturally sodium-, sugar- and cholesterol-free.

But did you know that they’re not only a tasty treat but also great for your skin? Homemade Avocado Face Masks are are known for nourishing and revitalizing the skin.

Ingredients
- One half of an avocado
- Three teaspoons of honey
- One teaspoon of Greek yogurt or almond milk
Step 1: Combine avocado, honey and vinegar in a mini food processor; process until smooth. (Alternatively, place in a small bowl; mash with a fork until smooth.)
Step 2: Apply a thin layer to clean, damp skin. Let dry, then rinse off and moisturize as desired. Oily skin types may not need additional moisturizer. This makes enough for 2-3 applications and should be used immediately.
