Avocado Face Cream: The Skin Benefits of Avocado Oil

Protects skin from sun damage

What’s more, avocado oil contains a component called lutein. What is lutein, then? It’s a substance that helps to absorb and filter UV light, offering protection from sun damage.

Rejuvenates skin and reduces inflammation and dark spots

This wonderful oil is full of beta-carotene, proteins, lecithin, and fatty acids. These fatty acids have been shown to reduce inflammation and sun-damaged skin.

Avocado oil also has high levels of plant compounds called phytosterols. The phytosterols mimic cholesterol, helping to prevent moisture loss in skin. With anti-inflammatory properties, they even help to rejuvenate tired and stressed skin.

Deeply moisturises skin

Another benefit of avocado oil for skin is that this super-powered oil floods the skin with moisture. It’s used in moisturisers for dry skin because it makes skin beautifully dewy and supple.

Avocado oil doesn’t just moisturise and protect dry skin. It also replenishes skin that needs hydration, making it natural skincare for dehydrated skin.

Boosts collagen

Avocado oil’s secret ingredient is sterolin. This is a natural steroid that triggers the production of collagen. Collagen is essential in helping protect the skin from wrinkles, fine lines, and age spots. It’s the protein that makes skin plump and youthful!

Sterolin works together with the fatty acids and vitamins in avocado oil. The result: skin feels plumper and more radiant. It’s not surprising, then, that we use avocado oil in our best-selling avocado face cream.

Balances skin

Avocado oil helps to balance and regulate your skin’s natural sebum production. That makes it effective for both oily skin and dry skin. It’s also suitable for sensitive skin conditions, although we always recommend patch testing first.
