## **Honey, Yogurt, and Avocado Mask**

Ingredients: 

-   ½ ripe avocado
-   1 teaspoon Greek yogurt
-   1 teaspoon honey (preferably raw)

  

**How it works**: Avocado is one of the best ingredients not only for your soul food but for your face as well. Not to mention that it is full of omega-3 fatty acids that are anti-inflammatory. Honey is also one of the ingredients that will prevent any inflammatory process on your face or in your body. Yogurt is here to gently exfoliate and smoothen the lines, thanks to vitamin C and lactic acid.

  

## **Cinnamon, Honey, and Lemon Mask**

Ingredients: 

-   2 tablespoons honey
-   ½ fresh lemon juice
-   1 teaspoon of cinnamon

  

**How it works**: This powerful combination is great not only for your face but for your oatmeal topping as well. Cinnamon is a great exfoliator, yet it will reduce inflammation and redness as well. Honey as mentioned will protect you from bacteria, while lemon juice is powerful in removing dark spots from sun damage. 

  

## **Egg and Honey Mask**

Ingredients: 

-   1 egg
-   1 tablespoon of honey

  

**How it works**: Egg whites are high in protein and can boost collagen production in the skin. That is why your lines and wrinkles will be less visible. This mask will tighten the skin, making your face look young. But not only that. Winter time is here, and you will need something that can prevent bacteria on your face to appear. That is why honey is here to help.
