5 Ways to Use Avocados as Beauty Products:
1. Moisturizing face mask:
- Take the peel of an avocado and lightly wipe the inside of it across your face. Either rinse your face after 15 minutes or leave it on overnight for extremely dry skin.
- Mix together one avocado, one egg white, two tablespoons of oatmeal, and one teaspoon of lemon juice. Apply the mask to your face, leave it on for 15-20 minutes, and then rinse with warm water. Do this twice a week and you will have softer, supple skin.
- In a medium bowl, beat one egg, add a half cup of olive oil, and then add a third of a cup of yogurt. Mash one avocado in a separate bowl and then add it to the yogurt mixture and stir. Apply the mask to your dry hair and massage it into roots. Leave it on for 25 minutes and then rinse with lukewarm water. Wash your hair with shampoo and conditioner as usual.
- In a mixing bowl, combine one ripe avocado with extra virgin olive oil (1 teaspoon) and melted shea butter (1/4 cup) until smooth. Apply sparingly to roots and ends, leave it in for 30 minutes, and rinse.
- Mash half of an avocado and mix in 3-4 spoons of oatmeal, 1 egg white, and 1 teaspoon lemon juice. Smooth the mixture over your hands and leave it on for 10-15 minutes. Rinse and dry your hands.
- Miracle for Puffy Eyes: put avocado slices under each eye and relax for about 15-20 minutes. Then, remove the avocado slices and rinse your face.
