RE: avocado, skin health and irradiation

[Guest guest]

My jar of really raw honey says you should rub it into your skin (Cleopatra did)

to keep it moist. It may work, but the idea of it makes me chuckle - this stuff

is REALLY sticky. It can't be comfortable. LOL!

Hi all,

I was looking through the archives to review the thread on fats and oils in

regards to skin health and sun tanning, and I noticed an exchange between

Hillary and bianca discussing avocados and how good they are for the skin. I

wanted to check out a fatty acid profile of avocados so did a quick google

search. That brought me to this page on irridation end-products onf meats

and fruits, including avocados:

http://216.239.51.100/search?q=cache:8A1MMkM0jVQC:europa.eu.int/comm/food/fs

/sfp/fi07_met1784_en.pdf+avocado+fatty+acid & hl=en & ie=UTF8

The article discusses detection methods of irradiated foods by the amount of

radiation-induced hydrocarbons, although it doesn't give data on the amounts

found in foods tested.

It reminded me that an organic gardener who worked as the produce manager of

a local HFS, told me that all imported organic produce is irradiated. I

haven't been able to verify that yet, but I do try to avoid imported produce

anyway. Although I love my bananas! Haven't been able to give them up yet.

Does anyone know if avocados are generally an imported crop? The winter here

has been tough on my skin and I'm looking to improve it through diet. Any

other suggestions for improving skin health?

TIA

I will use honey on my face and it does work. It is sticky at first, but it

washes with warm water very easily. I had heard about doing this from a lady

whose husband is a beekeeper, she said his hands were always smooth during honey

season.

***honey?? Oh my! My dogs would just LOVE it if I rubbed honey onto my skin!

I would be like the proverbial fly paper

Thanks for the idea - maybe bert's bees has some skin care product with

honey that would be a little less sticky.

I will leave it on like a mask for a few minutes. I have been thinking of using

it on my hands as well!

I usually loosen my honey up with a little milk added. It is a nice facial,

and makes your skin have a nice glow to it. Remember to rinse with cold

water and pat dry.

I am not very scientific with the process. I just add a little milk, enough

to loosen the honey to a disirable consistency. I like mine to be thick but

easy to spread on my face. I leave it on from 10-15 minutes. I've always

read that it is best to rinse your hair and face in cold water, to stimulate

the pores. I know my face looks dull after rinsing in warm water. But it

looks so alive after rinsing in cold water. Try it! It works great. I

have more recipies for homeade skin products if folks are interested. Just

say the word and I'll post a few.

***Hey that sounds great! Maybe I could just let my dogs lick it off instead

of rinsing! But I guess I wouldn't want to do that if it draws out any

toxins.

How long do you leave it on? Also, about what ratio milk to honey do you

use? I've got some nice raw honey here that my brother collected from his

bees and I've got this great raw goat's milk. I think I'll give it a go!

I've done almost nothing for my face in ages...and feel like it's time to

give it a little attention. I put coconut oil on it last night when I put it

in my hair, and my skin is so soft today, as is my hair come to think of

it...I'd say two thumbs up for CO on face and hair

Okay here it goes. I am getting my recipies from a book called The Herbal

Body Book. I like this book alot and refer to it from time to time when I

want to make up a concoction for my skin. I will start with a few facial

scrubs since this is what the book starts off with. Though the book has

masks, moisturizers. astringents, and more.

All Purpose Scrub

Use: daily or as needed

Follow with: Moisturizer

Mix with: blender, food processor

Store in: Zip-seal bag, low tub/Jar, or tin

Yields: 4 to 24 treatments, depending on use

Speacial: Leaves skin very smooth

Igredients:

1/2 cup ground oatmeal

1/3 cup ground sunflower seeds

4 TBSP almond meal

1/2 tsp grou nd peppermint, spearmint, or rosemary leaves

dash cinnamon powder (optional)

Water, milk, or heavy cream

Mix dry ingredients together thoroughtly. Use approximately 2 tsp scrub

mixture for the face, more for the body, and enough water (for oily skin),

milk (for normal skin), or heavy cream (for dry skin), to form a spreadable

paste. Allow to thicken for 1 min. Massage onto face and throat or body

area. Rinse

Here is another

Gentle Facial Exfoliant

1/2 cup ground oatmeal

1 tsp cornmeal

water

Mix dry ingredeints thoroughly. Combine 1 tablespoon of scrub mixture with

enough water to form a spreadable paste. Allow to thicken for 1 min. Massage

onto face and throat. Rinse.

Okay I'll post more tommorow. If any one has a specific request for skin

types or certain recipies (ie. facials) let me know. If so, I'll post those

instead of just going through the book.

If you try any of these, give me some feedback. I'd like to know how

they worked for you. Many of these I haven't tried yet.

Thanks,

Kareemah

>>>>Okay here it goes.

***Kareemah, these look great! Thanks so much for taking the time to type

them out. I'm going to print this out and try one this weekend. I'll let you

know the results
