Why Avocados and Honey are Nourishing

 
Inside the rough skin of the avocado fruit; and the amber of honey are powerful nutrients waiting to soften and nourish the skin and inner body. 
 
"Avocados contribute nearly 20 vitamins, minerals and beneficial plant compounds that can
contribute to the nutrient quality of your diet."
 
Honey, on the other hand is a natural antibiotic:  According to the Honey Association:
 
"Honey is a mild antiseptic and can help to keep external wounds, such as cuts and minor
burns, clean and free from infection. By absorbing the moisture around the wound, honey
can help to prevent the growth of bacteria."
