Why avocado and honey?
Packed with antioxidants, rich with fatty acids, and high in potassium avocado is a wonder fruit. The antioxidants make it useful in healing sun damaged skin while allowing it to become more supple. Fatty acids and potassium help in moisturizing the skin. Avocado oil has also been known to help with conditions such as psoriasis and eczema.
Honey has antimicrobial properties and is a natural antioxidant, which helps protect the skin from damaging sun rays. It also helps to support the skins ability to rejuvenate and refresh depleted skin. Minor acne problems can also be alleviated by the use of honey. Apply honey as a spot treatment to acne and leave over night.
It's the bee's knees!
