DESCRIPTION
Avocado oil is widely renowned for being an effective treatment for various skin conditions. The oil is an extremely good moisturising and nourishing compound, which makes it an ideal treatment for dehydrated, sun-damaged, and climate-damaged skin. These regenerating and rejuvenating qualities lend themselves to avocado oil being a useful agent in relieving dryness and itching.
Studies in Japan have revealed that avocado oil can significantly increase the levels of collagen found under the skin. Our natural collagen becomes under attack as we grow older, and thus avocado oil has great potential in helping us fight the signs of aging.
Avocado oil is extremely rich in vitamins A, D, and E, monounsaturated fatty acids, as well has having high lecithin and potassium content. Avocado oil is also very high in sterolins, which are reputed to reduce the presence of age spots, heal sun damage and scarring, as well as moisturising and softening the skin leaving it supple and glowing.
