If one day we had told you: between Jamy and Cardi B , there is only one step...you would have replied: Um really? This is all our strength at Madam President .
In one week, we take the science truck to Venice Beach! You understand nothing ? Take a moment and rediscover our article from last week. We put porosity aside and talk starlet!
The rapper who often wears wigs, actually sports impressive, AWESOME hair! Look at the picture!
Cardi B revealed to us the secret to her dream hair: a DIY mask and an in & out beauty routine Madam President . In any case, we would have liked it!
Her mask , made from avocado, was delicious, creamy and glamorous!
For 12 months, we have been completely obsessed. We're counting down the minutes to make this mask... So, we decided to sit down on it and take the opportunity to tell you everything about avocado. Attention, quiz at the end of reading!
Honestly, it's already hard to know if the avocado is a fruit or a vegetable. For those who know, you are real champions, because we need a little updated session.
The lawyer: A somewhat naughty origin
“It’s a fruit!” “No, it’s a vegetable!”, “But noooo, it’s a fruit!”.
In fact, it's almost all a question of point of view because botanists and cooks are clearly not on the same wavelength. Looks like the tomato debate...
We'll let Arte speak: originally from Mexico, the scientific name of the avocado is Persea americana, from the Lauraceae family. It is a word derived from the Spanish aguacate, which means “testicle”, so it is in reference to its shape that the fruit takes its name. There you have it, a new word to use in everyday life. QED
Despite an origin with a somewhat cheeky name, the avocado is a fruit in the botanical sense, despite the fact that it is commonly used on our plates as a vegetable. Ok, we understand it well, it's a fruit, nevertheless, in the supermarket, we find it rather alongside vegetables... #jesuisalouest
You can consider it as a fruit or a vegetable, or even both, but what you especially need to know is that the avocado has real health benefits thanks to its numerous and diverse nutrients.
Here is a quick reminder of the nutritional values of avocado:
73.3g of water
20.6g of lipids
0.83g carbohydrates
0.4g of sugars
1.56g of protein
3.4g of dietary fiber
...
A healthy distribution and we like that.
The different benefits of avocado
Avocado is a bit like our gummies : a multivitamin mixture, delicious and adapted to your body.
In detail, it gives: vitamin A, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin B3, vitamin B5, vitamin B6, vitamin B9, vitamin B12, vitamin E and vitamin K. In addition to its micro-nutrients, this fruit also has good fatty acids including omega-9.
Avocado is also a humectant, very rich and nourishing. We don't stop there because the lawyer:
Limits the appearance of cardiovascular problems and diseases
Improves intestinal transit
Promotes the maintenance of body weight
Reduces metabolic risks such as obesity or bad cholesterol
Contributes to good eye and brain health
The little extra: for menstrual pain, headaches...you can let the avocado leaves infuse. The double added bonus: this infusion is compatible with another infusion...Resolution n°2 My Organic Hair Detox Tea to take care of your hair.
We continue the good ideas by sharing with you different uses of avocado for hydrated skin and hair . All while taking care of your figure, yes!
1/ I have soft skin in my foam bath...
Avocado is an active ingredient present in many cosmetic products. It is found in creams and milks for dry and sensitive skin... it is also included in the composition of certain balms to intensely nourish your lips.
By making a special DIY beauty mask or using its oil, avocado fights against dry skin. Besides, as for DIY, here is a tip for your next cocooning moment.
Special for very dry skin: its pulp promotes the formation of collagen and therefore has a smoothing and rejuvenating effect on the skin . It would have the (magical) power to act on our wrinkles and reduce scars on the skin. By combining your beauty routine with our Pure gummies , say goodbye to your impurities over time!
Thanks to its soft flesh, the avocado is very easy to use as a mask. To achieve an exceptional nourishing treatment, it can be combined with another product with exceptional virtues: honey.
Ingredients :
Lawyer
Honey
Recipe
Recipe :
Mash the pulp of an avocado in a bowl. Add a tablespoon of liquid honey.
Mix everything and apply the mixture to your face.
Once mixed well, this mixture can be applied directly to the face for half an hour.
Then simply rinse with lukewarm water. Immediately, the skin is softer and the complexion is even.
On the other hand, if you hesitate to use honey because you prefer to make a sandwich, know that honey is a super effective anti-wrinkle. Don't worry, we've got your back ?
2/ For strong and silky hair, the base.
Is your hair dull? Brittle and dry? Damaged? We have the solution!
As for the epidermis, avocado is super effective on the hair. It helps smooth and hydrate the scales (the famous scales that we told you about in our article on porosity ), while restructuring the ends. Avocado works miracles on the hair! Let's take advantage of it!
What we recommend:
Wash your hair with Resolution N°5 My Strengthening & Anti-Hair Loss Shampoo , we have thought of everything since our Resolution N°5 is available for each hair type and leave your avocado DIY to hydrate your mane in depth.
DIY recipe from Cardi B #bardigang - Avocado-banana hair mask
In all honesty, the rapper went there based on feeling when it came to measurement, so we adapted the quantities for you.
Ingredients :
1/2 Avocado
1/2 Banana
1 Tbsp Castor Oil (castor oil)
1 Tbsp Olive oil
2 Tbsp Argan oil
1.5 Tbsp Mayonnaise (yes yes mayonnaise in your scary mask right?)
1 egg yolk
1 tbsp honey
Recipe :
In a bowl mix the different ingredients of your mask.
Once you have obtained the desired texture, spread the mask on the hair from the roots to the ends and leave for 15 to 30 minutes depending on your hair type.
Rinse and style your hair as usual.
Bonus info:
The avocado, banana and mayonnaise give firmness to the mask and if you're afraid of having hair that smells like mayonnaise or egg, don't panic! Oils, avocado or even honey mask the odors of other ingredients. You'll even want to devour your mask, but we don't recommend it unless you want to escape your job.
On other days or lazy days, you can switch to Resolution N°6 My Nutri-Active Mask to make room for avocado on your plate.
3/ Food porn.
Just like parsley and mint, avocado neutralizes bad breath. All three cleanse the body and help the liver. Useful information if you go out with your target in the next few days.
