When I was in La Jolla I was in an all-avocado diet. It’s one of the best foods for your skin and hair. Full of nutrients like antioxidants, minerals, carotenoids, protein, fiber, phytosterols and omega-3 fatty acids to name a few.
Avocado beauty benefits
Anti-inflammatory
Anti-skin cancer properties
Reduces wrinkles and age spots
Soothes and heals psoriasis
Evens out skin tone
Relief for dry skin and hair
Protects against UV rays and pollution
Increases circulation
Reduces split ends
Makes hair shiny
Stimulates hair growth
Kind of makes you want to go on an all-avocado diet, right? (Or maybe even bathe in them.) Read up on topical avocado beauty treatments, like this SPF lip balm and this anti-wrinkle mask and hydrating hair treatment, then try out this delicious cold soup—perfect after a workout or as a quick lunch or dinner. The water content of cucumbers and the circulation-boosting powers of cayenne make this soup even better for the skin.
