Avo Good Skin Day

Millennials may favour having this fruit accompanying a poached egg on a slab of toast, but the beauty world are obsessed with this foodie favourite for another reason.

As well as being good for your insides – they're known for improving heart and brain health – avocado's are abundant in natural oils that can penetrate the skin to deeply nourish, soften and hydrate. Expect a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles, skin to be noticeably smoother and an increase in your skin's immunity against environmental aggressors if you incorporate the humble breakfast staple into your skincare routine, and it doesn't stop a la visage. Containing vitamins B and E, a coating of avo in your hair will protect hair strands from dryness and damage, control hair loss and repair scalp damage.

To start filling your bathroom cabinets as well as your fridges with the stuff, look to our favourite beauty products, that have harnessed the green goodness and packed it in a bottle.
