Avocado oil
Benefits of avocado oil
The epidermis (outer layer of skin) easily absorbs the nutrients in avocado oil, including fatty acids, vitamin E, potassium, and lecithin. There are many ways that avocado oil is good for your skin, including:
- Moisturizes dry skin
Avocado oil is a great moisturizer for the skin. If you have dry skin, avocado oil can help improve its texture.
- Anti-inflammatory
If you have a skin condition that involves inflammation, avocado oil may help since it has natural anti-inflammatory and wound-healing properties
- Anti-aging
- Fights free radicals
Free radicals are associated with inflammation, which means that reducing free radicals and free radical damage is a wise goal. Free radicals can contribute to disease, and also to many types of unwanted skin changes including age spots and wrinkles. With its nutrients and antioxidants, avocado oil may help to reduce free radical damage, both when used externally and internally
