Fruits are some of the best sources for DIY face masks – they’re chock-full of antioxidants that can brighten the skin or calm inflammation. No wonder they’re so popular! And just to get you in a Halloween mood, their stark colors and textures against your face can be enough to give someone a good spook.

Thankfully, with just a few ingredients at home, you can whip up some face mask recipes that work wonders. An avocado face mask is great at rejuvenating dull and dry skin, giving it that glow. To make it, you will need half a serving of avocado, Greek yogurt, and a spoonful each of aloe vera and olive oil. Mix and apply them to your face for an exfoliating and hydrating effect afterward. 

Another tropic-ready recipe is a face mask recipe using pineapples, which can brighten the skin. Combine crushed pineapple and coconut milk for an organic recipe that penetrates deeply!

For an easier, fuss-free alternative, you can reach for POND’s Avocado Face Mask and POND’S Pineapple Face Mask, which still provide the same benefits as their DIY counterparts.
