Ingredient Spotlight: Avocado

There's nothing better than a big old bowl of guacamole with some tortilla chips and a good movie. We all know that it tastes creamy and magical, but there are actually more benefits to it than we think!
Today I'm going to tell you all about the beauty that is the avocado, and what it's going to do to make you even more beautiful than you already are!
Avocados have healthy lipid properties, which basically means that they are high in fat, however this fat is healthy for you and your body. They are high in vitamins (A, D, and E) and nutrients, which are going to lead to beautiful skin!
So here are the benefits avocados can have on your skin:
All of the vitamin E can help clear up blemishes and even out skin tone.
Avocados are incredibly moisturizing on the skin, so if you mix some avocado with a little bit of olive oil around this time of year, your skin will be extra soft and hydrated. If you're looking for something scrubby, try avocado with brown sugar or oats!
It turns out that with extensive research, avocado has been linked to relief for excema and psoriasis, because it can reduce under-skin inflammation, which will then work towards the surface of the skin.
All of the protein and vitamins can also help hair growth!

So eat and apply more avocado, and you will reap all of the benefits!
