Home Remedies: Avocado for Skin Care

Avocado (Persea Americana)

The avocado is a tree to the Caribbean, Mexico, and Central and South America. Its fruit is edible and used as the main ingredient in guacamole. Avocado is a classic remedy for dry skin.

Avocado Facial Method

There are many variations on the avocado facial but the simplest is to mash an avocado (using just the green flesh, not the peel or the pit).

• Smear onto skin
• Leave on for 10 minutes
• Rinse with warm water
• Why it works?

Avocados are rich in fat and oil. Avocado oil helps to moisturize dry skin.

Precautions

Use with caution if you are prone to acne. Avocado adds oil to the skin; it does not remove it.
