Avocado Face Masks 01/20/10

The avocado or “alligator pear” is a tree, which is originally found in South and Central America. The fruits are with green skin and in the form of a pear. The avocado is technically a large berry with a big nut inside. It is very nutritious, has a positive effect on blood cholesterol levels, contains fibers and is full of monounsaturated fat.

The avocado facial masks are an amazing source of goodies for your skin. The fruit contains a lot of minerals such as iron, potassium, calcium, sodium, copper, magnesium, etc. It also contains vitamins A, E, B and K.
