Ever wondered how Lupita's skin has that constant fresh-faced glow both on-screen and off? Here is her number one beauty secret
Luminous Lupita: Lupita Nyong'o is famous for her immaculate skin (she also acts sometimes)

Bursting with anti-ageing antioxidants and blessed with natural sun-screen, avocado is your skin's new best friend.

And if it's not, then it's time to get acquainted.

It was revealed recently by Oscar winning actress, Lupita Nyong'o, that the product - of which she is a devoted fan - plays a huge role in her beauty regime.

"Avocado oil is a big thing for me. I discovered it last year, and at first I was using it just on my body, but then I realized it works on my face, and my hair too, for that matter! It's a one-stop shop. Especially in the wintertime, when my skin is drier, it really seeps in and leaves it nice and lush,"

The ingredient is a natural healer of scars and age spots, which is highly compatible with our skin's own sebum, resulting in not only a moisturised complexion but also intensely protected skin.
