Miracle for Puffy Eyes
this works so well it’s almost scary. Just slice a peeled avocado half into quarter-inch crescent-shapes. Lie down with a few slices under each eye and rest for around 20 minutes. You’ll love the results!<\/p>\n

Easiest Facial Mask ever
just mashes half an avocado and spread evenly on your clean face. Allow to remain for 15 minutes, and then rinse off with warm water. This is best for dry skin types.<\/p>\n

Appealing Moisturizer
Turns out we’ve been throwing away (or composting) a valuable part of the avocado!! You can use the inside of the peel as a fabulous humectants and oil-rich moisturizer. Just lightly apply the inside of the peel to your clean face, using gentle upward strokes. You can
leave the oil on your face all night or rinse after 15 minutes. Makes a great foundation for your foundation or powder!<\/p>\n

In a small bowl, thoroughly mash and combine:
1\/2 avocado
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 egg white<\/p>\n

Apply evenly to a clean face and allow to remain 20 minutes, and then rinse with warm water and a cloth. Follow with an astringent, if you like.<\/p>\n

OLIVE OIL.<\/p>\n

Olive oil is one of those magical substances that are good for almost everything–your diet, your skin, your hands and nails, and your hair. Prized for its cosmetic uses since ancient times, olive oil is relatively inexpensive and can be purchased in most grocery stores.<\/p>\n

Cuticles and Nails<\/p>\n

For ragged cuticles and brittle nails, soak your nails in a small bowl of warm olive oil (add a squeeze of lemon for a nicer scent). A few minutes' dunking can help brittle nails become more resilient and soften cuticles so you can safely push them back.<\/p>\n

Hands<\/p>\n

To soften your hands, smooth on a generous amount of olive oil before bed, put on white cotton gloves, and sleep with them on.<\/p>\n

Lips<\/p>\n

Dab a little olive oil on dry and chapped lips.<\/p>\n

Face<\/p>\n

Whenever your face needs softening and moisturizing, massage a small amount of olive oil into your skin, applying extra oil to rough or
cracked areas.<\/p>\n

Body<\/p>\n

Add a few tablespoons of olive oil to your bath water to soften skin. Essential oils, such as lavender or jasmine will provide a touch of fragrance to your soak.<\/p>\n

Shaving Cream
Men with sensitive skin can use olive oil as a shaving cream.<\/p>\n

Feet<\/p>\n

To heal dry feet, rub them with olive oil, then put on a pair of socks at bedtime and leave them on overnight.<\/p>\n

Makeup remover<\/p>\n

Dab a little olive oil on a cotton swab or tissue to remove makeup. It's good as any drugstore brand at removing mascara.<\/p>\n

Olive Oil as an Ingredient
Look for olive oil in lip balms, shampoos, bath oils, hand lotions, soaps, and soaks for nails, massage oils, and dandruff treatments.<\/p>\n
