I love avocados, which is no secret. I’ve shared my favorite recipe with avocados in the past, the perfect guacamole, which I make all the time. Avocados are great on tacos, in salads, and a good avocado sliced up with a little lemon and salt sprinkled on top is a refreshing and healthy snack. Lately though I’ve been researching other uses for my favorite fruit, such as avocados in natural face masks and homemade beauty recipes, and discovered a medley of avocado health benefits for hair and skin, in addition to how healthy avocados are for your body.
Avocados have a lot of beauty benefits because they are rich in emollient fats, vitamins, and amino acids, which are fabulous for beautiful hair and skin. Avocados are ideal in a homemade conditioning beauty recipe for your hair: mix one avocado together with an egg and massage through hair, leave one for 20 minutes, and shampoo out for super shiny hair. To make a natural avocado moisturizing face mask, mix one avocado with a little bit of milk and oatmeal, and apply to your face and body. Gently rub on and leave for twenty minutes before rinsing off with cold water, and your skin will be glowing after. Using avocados in homemade beauty recipes is also believed to reduce wrinkles because of those fabulous antioxidants in avocados, like vitamin A and E.
