Yes, it’s pretty awesome. While you can dip your chips into your guacamole and smash it on your toast with a poached egg on top, you can also use it as a beauty product.

Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize
Do you love to have soft and supple skin? Well, you don’t have to a huge amount of money on the latest creams to do so. That’s because there are so many amazing nutrients within an avocado, and the skin holds a huge amount of these oils. Once you’ve peeled an avocado and eaten the fruit for your breakfast or dinner, keep the peel to one side. When you’re ready to moisturize, simply wipe the inside of the peel along your face and your dry areas. The natural oils will seep into your skin and leave it looking and feeling amazing.
Grow them out
Growing out your nails can be incredibly tough for some people, especially if their nails are weak in the first place. However, there’s no need to get false nails or buy expensive strengthening treatment. You can get everything you need from an avocado because the folate and the vitamin E within these fruits are perfect for helping you grow long and strong nails. To ensure the best results, grab some avocado oil and massage it into your nails and cuticles before you go to bed. If you do this every day for a couple of days, you should immediately notice the difference.
Tame the frizz
If you have naturally frizzy hair, there’s a high chance that you’ve tried all kinds of products to try and tame it. You’ve tried lotions and potions, and you may have even shelled out a huge amount of money to try and stick those fly-aways back where they belong. But what if we told you that all you needed was an avocado? Avocados are full of fatty acids and nutrients that are amazing for your hair, and they will help you tame your hair in no time. One of the best ways to use this fruit is to smash it up into a guacamole-style paste and then put it on your hair like a mask. Massage it into your hair and then leave for 15 minutes before washing it out and seeing the results.
ֿTend to the burn
No matter how hard we try to avoid sunburn, it seems as though our skin just plays by its own game. While there are countless creams and treatments out there for you to use if you do suffer from sunburn, you can also find a treatment in your kitchen. That’s because avocado is perfect for treating sunburn because it’s cooling, but also because it’s full of natural oils that will help to repair the skin. All you need to do is mash up the avocado and apply it directly to the burn. You should immediately feel the cooling relief.
Do you have a few spare avocados in your kitchen? Well, it’s time to use them as a beauty product.
