How to use Avocado Butter
Avocado Butter is a versatile ingredient with a wide range of uses, including being used just on its own or within cosmetic formulations. Below are some popular ways to use Avocado Butter:
- Directly on Skin: Avocado Butter can be used directly on the skin - hands, legs, face, belly, wherever you like (externally)! This has been seen to be beneficial for those wanting to hydrate dry skin and soothe irritations.
- Facial Massage: Using a small amount of Avocado Butter on your fingertips, apply to a clean face and gently massage using small circular motions for around ten minutes.
- Body Massage: Replace your favourite massage oil with Avocado Butter and appreciate the feeling of all-over relaxation.
- Lip Care: Avocado Butter is a common ingredient in lip butters and balms. Combine with other ingredients for a D.I.Y lip balm, or simply use on its own.
- Foot Care: With hydrating qualities, Avocado Butter can be massaged directly on the heels and soles of your feet. To avoid slipping, it's best applied just before bed, or before putting on socks.
- Hair Care: Its nourishing properties make Avocado Butter great for conditioning the hair. Formulate into your shampoos and conditioners, or, for a quick deep conditioning hair mask, massage 1-2 tbsps of Avocado Butter into damp hair and leave for fifteen minutes before washing thoroughly.
