Avocados can improve heart health, promote weight loss, and help maintain a good level of essential nutrients like potassium and vitamin B.
And that’s only when they eat it because within the world of beauty, avocados and avocado-based products (such as organic avocado oil from Haut-Ségala ) also have many properties to keep hair and skin young, beautiful and soft. Here are 3 ways to prepare the avocado and reap the benefits, both inside and out.
1. Hair mask: Perfect for this cold season in which due to heating and temperature changes the hair begins to dry out. An avocado hair mask is just what you need. In a bowl, mix a ripe avocado with extra virgin olive oil (1 teaspoon) and shea butter (1/4 cup) until you have a homogeneous mixture. Apply a small amount to the roots and ends and leave it on for 30 minutes.
2. Exfoliating mask: Yes, avocado can do wonders for your skin, too. Use it as an exfoliating mask, perfect for dry skin. Mix one avocado, one egg white, two tablespoons of oatmeal, and one teaspoon of lemon juice. Apply generously to the face and leave on for 15 to 20 minutes. Then remove the mixture with warm water. Do this twice a week and you will notice smoother, brighter skin.
3. Beautify Your Look: Avocados can rid you of pesky under-eye bags. Simply peel an avocado, remove the seed and cut one of the halves into half moons. Now it’s time to lie on your back, place a slice under each eye and relax. After about 20 minutes you can boast a relaxed look.
