4 simple ingredients + healthy skin benefits = my favorite rich avocado truffles from The Beauty of Dirty Skin!

I make these all the time for my family because they’re easy, they’re quick to make, and they taste so smooth and decadent. ❤️

You need: 
4 oz. dark chocolate (at least 70 % cacao, coarsely chopped)
1-2 ripe avocados, peeled, pitted and mashed
Pinch of salt
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder.

To make: 
Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pot of boiling water. Remove the bowl from the heat and mix in your avocado and salt. Combine well (your mixture will be thick). Cover the bowl and chill until the mixture can be rolled into balls (approx 1 hr). Sprinkle the cocoa powder onto a piece of wax paper. Using a melon baller or a spoon, form your truffles into ¾ inch balls. Roll each truffle in cocoa powder, then arrange them in a single layer on your serving plate. Keep them in the fridge until ready to eat. Enjoy! 

Have you guys tried these yet?

Skincare I don’t currently use: (1) toner, (2) eye cream, and (3) exfoliating scrubs on my face. 

Why not? 

Toner: I’ve found so many toners to be drying, especially if they are made with drying alcohols (I’ll share a swipe up in my stories to help you guys determine whether alcohols on your ingredient list are safe for skin). I tend to keep my skincare routine somewhat minimalist and I’ve never found a toner to be a must-have for my skin. 

Eye cream: This one surprises a lot of people. I have sensitive skin and my skin often reacts to eye creams, even if they are supposed to be formulated for sensitive skin. Many clean eye creams contain essential oils, and the skin around our eyelids is very sensitive to some of the allergenic ingredients found in these blends. I do apply my vitamin c serum, my retinol, and my hydrating moisturizer on my upper cheeks knowing some will diffuse to the delicate skin around my eyes. 

Exfoliating scrubs: This one, I talk about all the time. I absolutely use a chemical exfoliant several times a week. Even water is a chemical, so don’t be afraid of that word!  Chemical exfoliants means it has glycolic acid, or lactic acid rather than relying on particles to scrub away dead skin.  Manual scrubs that feel gritty are NOT my pick for a healthy skin barrier. 

Did you find my list surprising? Share any q’s below and I’ll try to tackle them in my stories this week! 👇🏻💛
