Hair and Face masks with The Rich Avocado!

Avocado is rich in Omega - 3 Fatty Acids, the Good Fats!! Who says no to the Goodness..many donot know that Avocado can do the most good for ones health and beauty. Avocados are rich in Vitamin B and vitamin K, with the goodness of Vitamin E, C and Potassium. They are the best sources of monounsaturated fats, known as the good fats.

This same fatty characteristic of an Avocado enables it to be useful as a Moisturising agent for Hair and Skin. When used with Honey and olive oil or Coconut Oil for dry hair treatment, it acts wonderfully. But one should only let it stay on hair for 15-20 mins and wash it with a gentle shampoo before it dries on the hair, for easy wash away. When the same mixture is used with egg yolk for face, it cleanses and moisturises richly. This treatment for the hair and face is recommended just once a month. Once should cautiously follow the instructions to not cook the avocado or allow heat near the egg yolk. When using such natural fruits or vegetables for beauty or health treatments, it is always good to bring in mild, gentle and natural soaps and shampoos for washing the skin or hair, in order to sustain the goodness of the treatment.

These days Avocados are available in certain markets of metropolitan India and mostly around Karnataka region. Find one and cherish the goodness!!!!
