Avocado as cosmetic aid


Avocado is one of the best natural cosmetic aids. Rich in vitamins A, B, C, and E, together with linoleic acid, lecithin, and natural plant oils, avocados contain many beneficial properties for promoting healthy skin and hair.

Beauty recipes

For dry skin need of rehydration and nourishment, mash enough avocados to make2 tsp., and blend with 1 tsp. of plain, live yoghurt and 1 tsp. of liquid honey. Spread over the face, avoiding the eye area, and leave for 15 minutes before rinsing off with warm water.

To restore chemically damaged hair, mash half a small, ripe avocado and mix with 1 tsp. (5 ml) lemon juice. Apply thoroughly to the hair and cover with plastic wrap. Leave for one hour before washing out with a mild shampoo.

To remove rough skin, rub the insides of the avocado skin over the body. Rinse well and moisturize.

  1. Hello,

    Thank you for give me this information. Avocados are an excellent source of glutathione, a popular natural antioxidant. It is one of the best fruit sources of vitamin E. Thanks once again...
