This is how you start the day. Put on this avocado mask, make your coffee and breakfast, then start your skincare. My skin is always so soft after. It is the perfect skin prep for makeup. There's nothing like starting the day looking like guacamole!

Very buttery, a little goes a long way. It melts down into almost a balm like consistency. Great to use over a thinner product. My dry/combination skin didn’t really enjoy this product much only due to it getting a small little bumps afterwards as the days go on.
