Just as avocados can be used on your face and skin, it can be used in the same way on your hair too! The avo’s oils gets absorbed into your hair very quickly and will give it that shiny glow that you know you need.

The awesome ingredients in avo’s are super good for your skin as well! It is no wonder that it works miracles as a face mask! Just mash up an avo and apply to your face after you have cleansed your skin. Keep it on for about 10 minutes and then wash it off with lukewarm water. Your skin will feel amazingly soft and smooth. You can also use it as a mask anywhere on your body to relieve the symptoms of sunburn. You can even use it to exfoliate the skin by gently getting rid of dead skin cells on the skin’s surface. Just mix the mashed up avo with honey and yoghurt and leave it on for a few minutes.
