Avocado, source of health and beauty

The avocado is a gift of nature, rich in nourishing oils and fiber; it adds a portion of health to the diet. However, there are many ways to use an avocado; it can help you get silky hair, perfect skin and a smooth look.

The avocado used for cosmetic purposes should be ripe; if you have one green then I suggest wrapping it in foil or placing it in a paper bag to speed up the ripening process.

You can save the ripe avocado in the refrigerator, but never keep an avocado in the freezer, as it is very delicate.

To know if an avocado is ripe, you just have to press it with the tip of one of your fingers, and this will yield easily. The part used in this case is the pulp. For this, we must remove it with a spoon and separate it from the "bone".

Avocado, like any other organic matter, is perishable, which is why the use of these remedies should be for one time or twice.
