The happy screams heard round the world yesterday from Chipotle’s just-released guacamole recipe says a lot about how much we love avocados in our food. But did you know applying avocado topically is good for your skin and hair too? Products with avocado oils are intensely hydrating, which is especially important for damaged hair and dry skin that’s still recuperating from what seemed like a never-ending winter. They’re also rich in vitamins, fatty acids, and antioxidants that bring out your skin’s natural glow—and who *doesn’t *want that?
But as much as we prefer chowing down on a bowl of guac and chips all day long, these avocado-infused products for hair, skin, and makeup will do the trick sans prep work or calories. See below for our favorite ways to indulge this Cinco de Mayo!
This leave-on night mask is like a green juice for your face. The restorative mix of avocado oil and apricot kernel oil brings out your skin’s glow and leaves no dry patch behind. Stick it in the fridge for a few minutes to let it cool, slather it on before bed, and soak in the good-for-you ingredients while you sleep.
