1. How to get rid of dry skin on face:

I think it's important to note that before you start on any hydrating mask, it's important to use a gentle exfoliant to remove any dead skin or dry patches so you can start fresh and get rid of any flaky skin.

Also make sure you're using ingredients like Hyaluronic acid in your routine and nourishing oils regularly to combat the dryness. Moisturize day and night.

This mask is great because it also exfoliates, so it's good to get rid of any flaky skin. It's natural so it's gentle. Just make sure you're not rubbing your skin too hard. You can also grind your oats a little bit if you want. 

1. Mix 1/2 an avocado, 2 tsp of raw honey and 2 Tbsp oats. 

2. On cleansed skin, apply the face mask and leave it on for around 20 minutes. 

3. To give your skin a little exfoliation, rub really gently in circles so the oats can do the work. You can grind the oats for a softer texture.
