What is the best fruit face pack for hydrating oily skin at home?
One of the best fruit face packs for hydrating oily skin at home is avocado. Avocados are high in healthy fats and nutrients that can help to moisturize and nourish the skin.
They also have astringent properties, so they can break down oil and remove excess build-up from the skin. Just apply a layer of avocado on your face before going to bed, massage it in well, and let it sit overnight for optimal results.
You might be tempted to reach for your foundation when you start feeling oily, but that would be a mistake. Instead, try using a fruit face pack to hydrate your skin and fight the signs of oiliness. A good option is storing fresh fruits in ice cubes and using them as a natural mask or moisturizer.
When applied consistently over time, this face pack will help improve the appearance of oiliness and dehydration while delivering essential vitamins and minerals to your skin.
Another great way to use up leftover fruit is in detoxifying masks or firming scrubs. Add some chopped fruits (or vegetable scraps) into an herbal scrub agent like mango pulps, acai pulp powder, banana peels etc., together with honey or olive oil for extra moisture retention benefits.
Alternatively add ground spices such as turmeric root powder ginger juice etc., for an invigorating spa-like experience at home!
