For Dry Skin You will need: 2 oz/60g ripe avocado flesh 1 oz/25g orange juice 1 tsp/5g pure acacia honey 1 tsp/5g molasses 5 drops chamomile essential oil Put all the ingredients in a blender, or mash by hand in a bowl. Add extra orange juice if the mixture is too thick. Use your fingers to spread the mask over your face and neck and leave it on for at least 30 minutes, preferably longer, before removing. Use a warm flannel to rinse off the mask - this will help gently exfoliate skin as well as clean your face. This mask will keep for a day or two in the fridge if you don't use it all.
