The beloved ingredient is more than just a delicious topping for toast or dip for chips. Loaded with healthy fats, it's choice for hydrating both your strands and your scalp. Use it in Wolfer's simple hair mask recipe, which uses half of a ripe avocado, half a cup of full-fat sour cream, and a teaspoon lemon juice. (Is it just us or does that sound very delicious?) Mash the avocado until smooth before mixing with the sour cream and lemon juice. Slather the mixture directly onto your scalp, pop on a shower cap and let it sit for 20 minutes before shampooing and conditioning. Along with all those fats in the avocado, lactic and citric acids in the sour cream and lemon juice gently exfoliate your scalp, creating the ideal environment for healthy hair growth.

Quit monkeying around with eye cream and grab a few bananas instead (sorry, we couldn't resist). Rich in potassium, a mineral that helps cells retain moisture, bananas may help hydrate the thin skin around your eyes, notes Wolfer. Blend up a quarter of a banana with a quarter of a peeled cucumber and a tablespoon of raw honey, then refrigerate for 30 minutes. Apply a thin layer of the cooled mixture under your eyes for 15 minutes before rinsing; the potassium in the bananas, along with the hydrating honey and cucumber, make this mega-moisturizing and a great way to plump away fine lines around your peepers, fast.
