Treatments Good Enough to Eat!!

Today, on the radio show, we talked about going green with skin care. That's going green as in avocado and cucumber! The promise was made that a few of the recipes would be blogged - so here ya go.

The Devine Avocado

Avocadoes are wonderful to eat and to set the skin aglow. They provide 25 essential nutrients, as well as being rich in oil that is compatible with the skin and healthy fat.

For a homemade avocado mask you'll need:

1 frothed egg white

1/2 cup chopped cucumber blend with the avocado

1/2 an avocado mashed or blended

This mixture should be the thickness of a clay mask. Apply to clean skin. Let sit for 20 minutes, and then wash with warm water. This is a wonderful natural remedy for dry skin. It’s also great to use on the body.

The Less Complicated Approach

Peel the avocado - use the meat for guacamole and rub the inside of the peel on the face in a circular upward motion. The oil will moisturize. Leave on 15 - 20 minutes. Rinse.

The Puffy Eye Solution

Slice a peeled avocado half into thin crescents. Lie down with a few slices under each eye and rest for 20 - 25 minutes. Rinse.
