" I am a big avocado fan. I love to eat them and for the past few weeks two of my daily beauty products, Kiehls Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado and McBride Beauty&amp;#x27;s Wheat Germ and Avocado Night Cream, happen to be full of the green stuff. So when it came time to think about my next Alternative Beauty concoction I knew it would have to involve avocado.After some Internet research, I came upon a recipe for a face mask that mixes avocado, which is full of Vitamin E, calcium-rich heavy cream, and carrots, which have a ton of antioxidants and beta-carotene. And it&amp;amp;#8217;s easy to make. Mix together one ripe avocado, a cooked and mashed carrot, a beaten egg, and a few tablespoons of honey and heavy cream in a bowl until lump-free. Then smooth it over your face and neck, and leave it on for about fifteen minutes, or until dry. My skin afterwards felt tighter and looked significantly brighter, not to mention my belly was full&amp;amp;#133; I couldn&amp;amp;#8217;t resist whipping up some guacamole to eat while my mask dried. Like the DIY beauty tricks? Give this condiment-as-conditioner recipe a whirl or just try taking a a cup of coffee into the shower! Photo: I Stock Photo "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
