The Home Spa: Go Beyond Guacamole! 
The avocado is colloquially known as the Alligator Pear, reflecting its shape and the gator skin like appearance of its skin. Avocado is derived from the Aztec work “ahuacalt”. While avocados are now grown in most tropical and subtropical countries, the major commercial producers include the United States (Florida and California), Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Brazil and Colombia.
I personally prefer the ones produced in Mexico, the US and Panama.
The avocado is a versatile performer that can take center stage or play a supporting role as a flavorful accent. The unique flavor and mouth watering creaminess marry well with ingredients from mild to wild, as well it is quite enjoyable when crafting natural skin products in your own kitchen!
Who needs and expensive trip to the spa, when you can have one of the best and freshest products, and made by you...of course!
Watch out for the food allergies! According to the World Healthiest Foods, people with latex sensitivities could react to avocados. Follows an excerpt of their report:
"Avocados contain enzymes called chitin's that can cause allergic reactions in people with latex sensitivities. Studies have shown a strong association between latex allergies and allergic reactions to avocado. The treatment of avocados with ethylene gas to induce ripening can increase the presence of these allergenic enzymes. Individuals with latex allergy should avoid eating avocados in cooked or raw form. However, if you really love avocados, some evidence suggests that cooked forms of this food may be acceptable for allergy-sensitive individuals since cooking can deactivate the enzymes that may be responsible for the cross-reaction with latex".
Free yourself from synthetic ingredients and experience the pleasure of homemade beauty products, following the following ideas:
