In a bowl, mix equal parts honey and coconut oil, two drops of lavender oil and two tablespoons of ripe avocado. Although this recipe does sound like it tastes delicious, we recommend applying it to your face to prevent redness and irritation. The honey is rich in antioxidants, which help soothe redness, while the lavender oil’s anti-inflammatory properties are great for calming your skin.

As you might have noticed, honey is one of the best items to have in your pantry. It is not only a delicious sweetener but also a fantastic DIY face mask ingredient. For this hydrating mask, you will need to mix half a ripe avocado, a tablespoon of honey and some oats. While the oats will help soothe your skin and restore its moisture, the honey will help your skin retain that moisture. The avocado, in turn, will help your skin repair itself quicker.
