Avocado oil is the edible oil pressed from the pulp of the avocado. It can be used as a beneficial skin care product, for special scalp treatments, medicinal purposes, and in healthy cooking.
Nutritional Benefits:
Protein and Fats.
Avocado oil contains a high amount of proteins and unsaturated fats, both of which are strong skin agents. Avocado oil actually contains omega-3 fatty acids โ those very same fatty acids as found in fish oil. Thus, not only can this oil be used as a beneficial lotion, but also as healthy cooking oil!
Sterolin.
Avocado oil is high in a substance called sterolin, which studies have shown to facilitate the softening of the skin and to reduce the incidence of age spots;
Antioxidants.
Avocado oil is rich in antioxidants, making it useful for healing sun-damaged skin. Antioxidants like vitamins A, D and E in avocado cause the skin to be suppler, and are thus particularly good for dry or aged skin.
Lecithin and Potassium.
Avocado oil contains lecithin and potassium, which are all highly beneficial for the skin as well as the hair;
Health Benefits:
Moisturize the Skin.
Avocado oil applied topically helps relieve dry and itchy skin. Once applied, avocado oil is deeply absorbed by the skin, thus making it an ideal moisturizer and skin care agent.
Boost Scalp Health.
In addition to helping clear scaly skin, it can also relieve itchy scalp symptoms. Avocado oil, when regularly applied to the scalp, can stimulate hair growth.
Increase Collagen Production.
When applied, avocado oil increases the production of collagen, which helps keep the skin plump and decreases the effects of aging.
Treat Skin Conditions.
Avocado oil is useful in the treatment of a variety of skin conditions, including eczema and psoriasis.
Others.
Avocado oil facilitates the healing of wounds and burns to the skin. It also helps to relieve and heal diaper rash.
