The avocado fruit is so incredibly nutritious that it is known to be the only food that contains all the nutrients humans need to survive. Rich in unsaturated oil and multiple vitamins, the fruit also boasts some impressive beautifying properties, such as its ability to hydrate and soothe the skin.
Considering including your breakfast favorite in your beauty regime? Scroll down to discover five beauty uses for avocados that you’ve never thought of before.
Face Mask
Said to be favored by Victoria Beckham, the avocado face mask is a regular beauty treatment for Hollywood’s A-listers. The good news is that it’s so simple it can be tried at home. Combine half an avocado with half a cup of uncooked oatmeal, one teaspoon of lemon juice, and two tablespoons of honey. Mash the avocado and combine the rest of the ingredients, apply the mixture to the face, and let it rest for 20 minutes. Finally, rinse with warm water.
Hair Conditioner
It may not be an obvious use, but avocado can help tame unruly and dry hair. Packed with hydrating oils, it leaves the hair fully conditioned, shiny, and strong, and the scalp soothed.
Healthy Digestion
A healthy digestive system means healthier-looking skin. Avocado oil mixes, especially the ones that include omegas, hemp, and flaxseed, promote healthy digestion and will keep your insides nourished and your outsides glowing.
Moisturizer
Avocado extract is the base of many face creams and body lotions. Highly moisturizing, its oil replenishes any lost nutrients and leaves the skin feeling soft and glowing with youthful vitality.
Anti Aging
Anti-aging is another quality of avocado extract. Easily absorbed into the skin, the nutrients in the oil stimulate cellular respiration and have elasticizing qualities, which are said to reduce wrinkles. Avocado-based creams or homemade mixtures, combining avocado and yogurt, will leave the face feeling smoother, brighter, and regenerated. Apply every morning and evening for the best results.
