Take the avocado and slice in half. Use a spoon to scoop out the insides into a bowl. Mash the avocado well. Then add the honey and stir well.

Always use tepid or warm water to rinse never hot water. It dries out your skin. Never dry your skin completely, pat it dry with a towel. Then follow up with a moisturizer to seal in moisture. Dry flaky skin can also be a sign of a deficiency in nutrients. You may need more intake of oily fish or a supplement of essential fatty acids to fully cure dry flaky skin conditions.

Oatmeal Mask
1/2 cup Milk
2 tbs Oatmeal
Mix together and cook until it thickens over a medium heat. Add in a few drops of honey. Let mask cool down some til it feels comfortable. Apply to face and leave on for 20 minutes. Rinse off with tepid water.
The milk is good for hydration. It has lactic acid in it that softens dry skin. In my beauty class we took cotton balls and dipped them into some left over milk and applied to the backs of our hands and elbows.
