Why Customize Your Facial Mask?

While the Vivoderm Herbal Anti-Aging Mask is a powerful treatment on its own, customizing it with additional natural ingredients can provide targeted benefits for dry skin. By adding hydrating elements like honey, yogurt, or avocado, you can enhance the mask’s moisturizing properties, creating a spa-like experience in the comfort of your own home.

Customizing your facial mask allows you to tailor your skincare routine to your skin’s specific needs. Whether you’re dealing with seasonal dryness, irritation, or simply want to boost your skin’s radiance, you can adjust the ingredients to deliver exactly what your skin craves.

The Power of Natural Ingredients for Dry Skin

Dry skin requires ingredients that offer deep hydration, nourishment, and a protective barrier against moisture loss. Below are some natural ingredients that pair beautifully with the Vivoderm Herbal Anti-Aging Mask to create a deeply nourishing treatment for dry skin:

  1. Honey

Honey is a natural humectant, meaning it draws moisture into the skin and helps retain it. It’s also packed with antioxidants and has antibacterial properties, making it an excellent choice for keeping the skin hydrated and clear. Adding a teaspoon of raw honey to your Vivoderm mask can amplify its moisturizing effects, leaving your skin soft and glowing.

  1. Avocado

Rich in healthy fats, vitamins, and antioxidants, avocado is a superfood for your skin. It provides deep hydration and helps restore the skin’s natural moisture barrier. Mash half an avocado and mix it with the Vivoderm mask for an ultra-nourishing treatment that replenishes dry, dull skin.

  1. Yogurt

Yogurt is not only a great source of probiotics but also contains lactic acid, which gently exfoliates the skin, helping to remove dead skin cells and improve texture. It also hydrates and soothes the skin, making it a perfect companion to the Vivoderm mask. A tablespoon of plain yogurt mixed into the mask can help smooth rough patches and leave your skin feeling refreshed.

  1. Aloe Vera

Aloe vera is a powerhouse when it comes to soothing and hydrating the skin. It’s especially beneficial for dry or irritated skin due to its anti-inflammatory properties. Mixing a tablespoon of fresh aloe vera gel into your Vivoderm mask can enhance its calming and moisturizing effects, providing relief for parched skin.

  1. Oatmeal

Oatmeal is known for its ability to soothe and protect the skin, making it a go-to ingredient for those with dry or sensitive skin. It acts as a gentle exfoliant, removing dead skin cells while locking in moisture. Adding a teaspoon of finely ground oatmeal to the Vivoderm mask creates a rich, nourishing treatment that leaves your skin feeling smooth and supple.

Adding Avocado to the Vivoderm Facial Masks

Written by Author on . Posted in Face Masks

We recently got a great tip from one of our clients on adding a tablespoon or so of avocado to the Vivoderm Herbal Facial Masks. What a great idea! Upon further research we learned this about avocado.

Using Avocado with Vivoderm Facial Masks
Avocado in the Vivoderm Mask promotes additional hydration

Avocado is a fruit which has many benefits related to health and beauty. It is considered to be a natural skincare ingredient that helps to reduce scars, age spots and tans. Avocado can also be used for treating skin that has been damaged by excess exposure of the sun. The oil that is extracted from Avocado is rich in Vitamin E, D, and A which is absorbed into the skin very easily. If you have super-dehydrated skin then Avocado oil can be a good additional source of moisture and nourishment. Those with dry skin or those who live in polluted areas will also love this avocado treatment to help heal excessive environmental exposure.

You can prepare the Vivoderm facial mask with avocado right at home. You just need a ripe avocado that has been peeled and mashed or pureed. Blend one half (or as needed) avocado into 1-2 tablespoons of your Vivoderm herbal facial mask using the Vivoderm mask bowl and scoop till it has a smooth texture. If you need more hydration to blend, simply add water or Vivoderm toner. It is easy to use this mixture. Next, simply take a cotton ball or mask brush and then dip it in the mixture. Dab (or brush) the mixture on your face and neck areas. After 20 minutes you can rinse off with warm water and follow with the Vivoderm Natural Facial Toner. Wah-lah! Your skin will be super hydrated, radiant and ready to show off to the world!

And in between mask treatments, don’t forget to use a natural facial cleanser daily to help fight grime and dirt and keep skin clean.

We all know by now nutrition plays a very important role in beauty; when you’re healthy your beauty radiates from inside out!

I’ve just switched to it and just after one application on my skin, my skin looks so much healthier. It’s wonderful!! The fruit I’m talking about is none other than the AVOCADO.

Our skin loses its luster after being exposed to sunlight, pollution, stress and of course everyday wear and tear and aging. You will notice your skin has lost its radiance and glow that you once had. This is quite inevitable especially as we grow older. However all is not lost as you can restore the health of your skin and nourish it to its beautiful condition again.

Ingredients: Half an avocado, 2 tbs of honey, 2 tbs of plain yoghurt

Directions: Mix all the ingredients into a thick paste. Then pat on face and massage it on for half a minute. Leave on mask for maximum results for at least 20 mins and rinse off with warm water. Moisturize after to seal in moisture.

For the remainder of the avocado mask, you can use it as a body moisturizer. Use the remaining paste from your facial and rub it all over your legs and hands. Massage in the paste and let it set for 20 mins then rinse off with warm water. Moisturize with a body lotion after that for best results.

So what do you do with the other half of the avocado? You should just eat it to further boost your omega 3 intake.
