As it turns out avocado is great for our skin. Because it is rich in antioxidants it helps prevent aging, this occurs both through eating it and putting it on your skin.

It also nourishes our skin providing a soft, glowing complexion and a great natural way to treat psoriasis, a condition that causes redness and irritation of the skin.

There is a wide variety of beauty recipes in which you can use this amazing super fruit and give your skin a healthy boost of love.

I highly recommend reading the article Avocados offer remarkable benefits for skin health for a great in-depth look into how beneficial it just is, with great insights and tips from Doctors and other health/beauty gurus.

Beyond the benefits of putting it on your face here are just a few more reasons avocado should be on your grocery list.

1. Contains over 25 essentials nutrients including – A, B, C, E, and K it also has copper, magnesium, iron and potassium. Bananas are known for their potassium but it takes eating two to three of them to get the equivalent of what is in one avocado.

2. Is great for a healthy heart –  Our hearts like the B6 and folic acid in avocado.

3. Controls Blood Pressure – The high levels of  potassium helps with this one.

4. Free Radicals Don’t Like Us Eating It – The powerful antioxidants present in avocados fights free radicals that can lead to viruses and bacteria growth. They compromise our immune system and can be caused from environmental factors such as pollution, smoke and herbicides, the antioxidants in avocado defend us against them.
