☯Beauty benefits of Avocado (I haven't tried these yet so I'm not sure if they work or not)
(Part 1)
-Nourishes Dry Skin:
Avocado helps soften and hydrate dry skin. Its fatty acids easily penetrate deep into the skin to make up for any lost of moisture. In addition, it's suitable for all skin types.
1. Mash 1 to 2 ripe avocados with a fork until you have a smooth texture.
2. Mix in a little honey to make a face mask.
3. Apply the mixture on your skin and leave it on for 20 to 30 minutes.
4.Rinse with lukewarm water and pat dry.Repeat 2 or 3 times a week.
●Eating avocados regularly also helps keep your skin supple and glowing.
-Treats Dry and Damaged Hair:
If you have dry and damaged hair, try avocado to restore its beauty and health. The healthy fats, vitamins and protein in avocado help moisturize dry hair shafts and stimulate hair growth. It even helps soothe frizzy and unruly hair.
1. Scoop out the pulp of a ripe avocado and mash or blend it thoroughly to get a smooth consistency.
2. Mix 1 teaspoon each of wheat-germ oil and jojoba oil into the paste.
3. Apply it on your damp hair, from the roots to the ends.
4. Put on a shower cap for 30 to 40 minutes.
5. Shampoo your hair with lukewarm water.
●Use this remedy once or twice a week.
-Slows the aging progress:
Avocado contains an unbelievable amount of antioxidants as well as potent anti-aging properties that can reverse aging and keep you looking young for years.
It improves the production of collagen, which maintains your skin's elasticity and firmness. It even accelerates new cell generation and promotes circulation in the body.
According to a 2012 study published in the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology journal, consuming avocado bolsters cells' power centers against harmful free radicals.
●Use avocado oil to massage your body a few times a week.
●Also, include avocado in your diet.
-Fades Scars and Spots:
Avocado helps get rid of scars and spots that may appear on your skin due to acne, pimples, eczema, minor burns, cuts, or scrapes.
The vitamin E and omega-3 fatty acids in it help repair damaged tissue and improve the appearance of scars. It even accelerates the healing time and prevents new scars from forming.
1. Blend ½ ripe avocado (peeled), the juice of ½ lemon and the contents of a couple of vitamin E capsules in a blender until you get a smooth paste.
2. Rinse the affected skin with warm water and pat dry.
3. Massage the avocado mixture onto the affected area.
4. Allow it to dry completely, then wash it off with lukewarm water.
●Use it 3 or 4 times a week to get clear, flawless skin.
-Improves Skin Complexion:
Avocado can also help improve your complexion. Its fatty acids, vitamin C and oleic acid help reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation.
In addition, its antioxidant properties help protect the skin from harmful ultraviolet (UV) sunrays, thus preventing sunburn.
