In People magazine's 100 most beautiful people issue, Food Network host Ingrid Hoffmann talks about her love of avocados — as both food and conditioner. She says she mashes up avocado and puts it in her shower cap to moisturize her hair. I've heard of people using other foods in their beauty routines, including lemons, eggs, beer, and olive oil. Have you tried anything like this?

When I really want a super smooth face, I use the Miracle Whip Mayo face mask
1i've tried a few different things in the past but nothing really made it's way into my routine...unless it's a fruit that's in a product. (i.e. Fresh's Strawberry scrub)
2Nope. But then again, I'm hot enough.
3Honey mixed with raw sugar ('cause it's chunkier) makes a fabulous body scrub.
4Yup, I have egg on my face at least once a week
I find my
skin type recommendations online and then find homemade recipes: Kiwi Scrub, Blackberry MasK, etc.
5The photo kind of saddens me; avocados are too tasty and too expensive (at least on the east coast) to not be eaten!
6Yes, why not? I use oil for the oil cleansing method, but I need to get in the habit of doing that more often since my skin was clear and glowy when I did it more often. And I've used things for my hair too. Apple cider vinegar mixed with water works as a toner for the face.
7I don't use it but I have tried it.
8I tried a mashed avocado face mask once. I stress the word ONCE. I broke out in a mild, itchy rash. : 0
9Yes, actually you shouldn't put on your skin something that you wouldn't eat. I like olive oil, coconut milk, yogurt, baking soda, honey, sugar...yum
10I have tried it in the past, but I'm too uninterested to keep it up.
11Once a month I do the avocado and olive oil hair treatment. I have rinsed my hair with beer (grandma told me to) extra volume. I have done a mayonnaise hair treatment. Oatmeal baths. Egg on face.
12I take oatmeal baths ... have used egg yolk on my hair ... had raw peanuts smashed on my face ... and love Burt's Bees avocado conditioner.
13Only if my products happen to contain some fruit ingredients or something along those lines...
14I have eggs in my hair right now, for much needed protein. I'll get back to you with the results!
I put oil(all kinds) in my hair for 20-40 minutes before jumping in the shower to soften and moisten my dry and long hair. Now I can't be without it! As if the process wasn't time consuming as it was!
15hey girls, is there anything that i can use for oily hair?
16i put chili peppers on my scalp to stimulate hair growth..im kidding
17Yes. I love food in any form.
18Oh snap! She reveals one of my beauty secret! =X
19I EXFOLIATE MY HANDS AND FEET WITH SUGAR AND PUT ORGANIC COCONUT OIL ON MY BODY, FACE, AND HAIR TIPS. MY SKIN HAS NEVER BEEN SMOOTHER. PLUS I SMELL DELICIOUS
20My mom told me to put mayo on my hair once in an attempt to clear up dry scalp. I tried it and it was a disaster.
21Not really although I have made my own masks before...
22I have oily hair and I use yogurt and salt and leave it in my hair for about 1/2 hour before rinsing out and then my usual shampoo and conditioner.
23definitely! avocado oil, olive oil, eggs, oatmeal, banana, honey, sugar, salt, baking soda...anything!
24I also use coconut oil. Daily on my face as a moisturizer and also to take off eye makeup. It has actually helped clear up my face.
25thanks, makeup_love. i'll definitely try it
26nope
27I'd rather to ear the vegetable...that's the best way to absorb the vitamins from fruits and vegetables
