Yummy Avocados

My Mothers neighbor has fresh avocados growing in his background and my Mother gave me a bag full... Besides all the dishes I plan on using them for ....I thought about  beauty receipes also...
Avocado's are so good for your skin and hair...They are filled with healthy fats and phytonutrients that are awesome for the skin and hair...Avocado Oil is very similar to your skins natural oil... So its great to use on your skin a couple of times a week if you have dry skin..

Avocado Face Mask

First take a half of avocado peel it and smash it (make sure it is soft and ripe) with a fork..Next add a 1tsp of honey and 1tsp of all natural yogurt and mix well... Now you have your very own Avocado Mask...

You should apply a thin layer of the mask ... Apply the mask after cleaning your face and let it sit for 15 mins.. Rinse with warm water..

Avocado Cleanser

What you do is beat the yolk of an egg until it is light and frothy... Next add a half cup of milk and a mashed half of a ripe peeled avocado. Make sure the avocado is ripe(soft) and mashed really well.. Beat the mixture with a fork until you have a thin creamy consistency. Apply on squares of cotton as you would any other cleanser. It's a very pure method of keeping your complexion free of pollutants which can interfere with normal skin function. Of course left overs would need to be kept in the fridge


Avocado Hair Mask

Mash the flesh of one ripe avocado. Add 1 tablespoon of honey and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Mix until creamy and then apply to your hair. Leave for 20 minutes and then wash out with a gentle shampoo.

well i used the avocados on my hair 17th and nothing so i used it again on the 20th mixed with a little olive oil and it is super soft and my scalp is not itching at all, my biggest thing is itchy scalp it not dry but it itches like a mofo at times lol anyway it hasn't itched at all and i flatironed my hair and didn't need anything just my comb...i'm not 100% on the smell and its messy as hell, and i'm not sure its a miracle worker but it does hydrate i'm not sure if its the olive oil or the avocados but i wasn't a bad test run of it...Haven't tried my face yet, but i'll sure share my results
