Avocado Facial Moisterizing, two versions.

Thanks!

Marilyn:

What a great tip! I love this.

Pass the chips!

Sounds great, although I'd have a hard time putting avocado on my face and not in my mouth.

I'm afraid I'd eat it all...I LOVE avacadoes! lol
I know avacado oil is wonderful for skin...thanks for the recipe, Marilyn. I'll try it.

I had no idea that Avacado's were so good. thanks for the info.

Sounds like fun, Thanks for sharing

I should try this one myself -- my usual tea tree shampoo seems to be irritating my face for some reason. I tried eating an avocado once, but it tasted too much like paint! I think I must have eaten it at the wrong time. Keep up the useful recipes!

THANKS FOR SHARING

I need some use for avacados cause I can't stand the way they taste! Thanks hon!

I use the butter because if it's the fruit, I'd just eat it. LOL Amanda, don't like the taste? Rub it on your head :)

Tea tree is a great shampoo, but I'm a little sensitive to it, and I do NOT like the smell. Mark uses it sometimes, but he's been using the patchouli (one of my favorites) that I mixed up.

Oops, here I posted about a facial moisterizer and I'm thinking of a hair conditoiner. Ok, one more try here, you can also use this on your hair. For a conditioner BEFORE you shampoo it.
Mark's face with the cold weather change is getting irritated as well, so I've been fooling with different lotion recipes and I think... I've got it narrowed down to one. I'll post it if he likes it and it works. I've already made it in another formulation and that one is good, but better for the hands, and he wants spearmint. Whatever!

Whoo, I am buying avacado on me this weekend. Hey, Marilyn do you happen to know anything home-made that would help with dandruff. My daughter has a chronic problem with this, and I have done everything from oils to T-Gel shampoo, but it seems she keeps having the dry scalp problem, and she is only ten.
Take your time. :D

Mmm avocado! It isn't just for eating anymore!

Hi Beany,

If it's dandruff and not another skin condition, this is going to sound REALLY weird, but it works. Tell your daughter not to use *any* shampoo or condioner. Nothing. Everytime she washes her hair and she should do it as usual, use ONLY baking soda. For a few weeks.
First, her scalp will "seem" dryer, then the natural elements in baking soda will allow her scalp to produce its own natural oils and with dandruff, it'll clear it up. After that, only use her shampoo (and I'd switch if she hasn't already to a natural glycerine one, like Dr. Bronners ), and only use that every other time she washes her hair - the baking soda the alternate times.

Everyone that's used it that I know of, that's actually "had" dandruff and not another skin problem and there are many of those too, it's worked on, though she probably won't like it at first - -- get the baking soda right in the grocery store and keep a shaker bottle of it in the shower---have her wet her hair and massage it into her scalp (no shampoo, JUST the baking soda) for about 3 weeks, then see how it does w/the shampoo and the baking soda alternated. If this does not work, it's not dandruff. :)

I've always hated the taste of avocados but the use of it seems great.I will try and let you know,better believe that!

There is also an avocado carrier oil that shares the propertys of the fruit, as it's made from it. I just got some in and though I've used it before with good results, I'm going to experiment with it in a lotion too... with a couple others to see which formula I'll like best :)

mmmmmmmmm Avocado!

If I can resist eating it I will try this.

Thanks!
