Beauty recipe:an anti-dryness balm with avocado

The ingredients.

1/2 very ripe avocado + 1 tablespoon of fresh cream + 1 tablespoon of liquid honey.

Get to work!

1/ Purée the 1/2 avocado in a bowl with a fork.

2/ Add the cream and honey and mix well to obtain a homogeneous paste.

3/ Apply to feet, hands and all very dry areas (elbows, knees, etc.). Leave on for 10 minutes then rinse with lukewarm water.

Storage.

Immediate use.
