How to Make a Moisturizing Winter Face Mask... With Things Found in Your Kitchen

Cure the winter skin blues with this homemade face mask!It gets so dry each winter, I wind up seeking relief for dry, itchy skin. After a facial last week, the esthetician advised I look around the kitchen for real ingredients to soothe my skin - and soon after I came across this creamy, all-natural face mask, made with mashed avocado! I often find myself with an over-ripe avocado in my fruit bowl… next time, I'll consider it a mini spa day!
