It is ok if you over did it on the chips and salsa or margaritas for one day. This hot tip will get you feeling fresh in no time. Who says avocados are not one of the best fruits?
They not only are great in Guacamole and Salads, but they also can be used as beauty aids and in some countries are the main ingredient for tasty milkshakes.
The use of avocados as beauty aids goes back to pre-Columbian America. It is said that the Aztecs often used them as a moisturizer due to the high fat content.
Here are some great avocado beauty aid recipes that I have used in the past. I live an the extremely hot and dry city of Phoenix, so avocado facial masks are a regular event at my household:
Under The Eye Puffiness:
Peal and cut an avocado in quarters. Lie down and put a few slices under each eye and rest for 15-20 minutes. The resulting smooth moist skin is quite awesome
Avocado Facial Mask:
Blend 1/2 of a peeled cucumber, 1/2 of an avocado that has peeled and quartered, 1 egg white, and 2 teaspoons of powdered milk. The mix should reach a pasty consistency. Apply the mask to your face and neck with a gentle upward circular motion.
Let the mask rest dry on your face for 30 minutes. Proceed to rinse your face and neck with warm water and pat dry. Your face will feel rejuvinated and it doesn't hurt that you took some time out for relaxation.
