best avocado oil for wrinkles

Avocado oil for the face will help “tighten” the skin in problem areas and reduce wrinkles on the face. Let’s talk about its benefits and use at home in more detail.

Benefits of avocado oil

Avocado oil has powerful antibacterial, nourishing, moisturizing and regenerating properties. By the amount of essential fatty acids, this product is ahead of olive oil. This product has a high concentration of vitamins and trace elements such as sodium, calcium, potassium and zinc. Vitamins A and E are especially beneficial for skin and hair health.

Avocado oil prevents the early appearance of wrinkles caused by a lack of elastin and collagen, and also fights age spots.

Vitamins F, A, E, C and squalene regulate oxygen metabolism and blood circulation, reducing the manifestations of rosacea.

Avocado oil is used for daily face and body skin care, it is included in many masks, creams and balms, as it moisturizes the skin well.

Harm of avocado oil

This oil is considered low-allergenic, but before the first use, it is better to do a test: apply a drop of oil on your wrist and evaluate the skin condition after half an hour. If redness does not appear, then there is no allergy.

If used too actively on inflamed skin, the activity of the sebaceous glands may increase, which will worsen the condition of the skin.

How to choose avocado oil

Avocado oil is obtained by cold pressing a berry that grows in tropical countries. The greatest amount of useful substances is stored in unrefined oil, which has not been processed thermally and chemically. This oil has a dark emerald color, a nutty smell and a pleasant taste. The refined product is yellow in color and does not smell.

Main producing countries: South America, Australia, Africa.

Avocado oil does not spoil for a long time, as it contains a lot of oleic acid, which is resistant to oxidation. A sealed bottle will last up to a year.

Store the oil in the refrigerator or in a cool, dark place where the temperature does not exceed 5-10 degrees.

Application of avocado oil

This oil is used both internally in cooking and externally.

In cosmetology, avocado oil is often included in various products, and is also used for homemade face masks.

Well suited for massage: both point around the eyes, and for the whole body. The oil compensates for the lack of moisture, stimulates regeneration and reduces wrinkles, stretch marks and microdamages.

To heal microcracks and get rid of dry lips, the oil is applied as a nourishing balm.

Avocado oil is good for hair health. It is rubbed into the roots before washing the head and lubricated with fragility to reduce their dryness. It helps to restore the structure of the hair and nourishes the hair follicles, which reduces their loss. The oil forms an invisible film on the surface of the hair, protecting it from the effects of ultraviolet radiation, due to which the hair often “burns out” and becomes thinner.

Regular rubbing avocado oil into the nails helps to strengthen the nail plate, nourish the cuticle and heal the burrs.

Avocado oil has an antibacterial effect and stimulates regeneration, which helps to restore the skin after inflammatory processes, such as acne.

Can it be used instead of cream

The fatty acids that avocado oil is rich in are close to the natural fat of the skin. Therefore, it is easy to apply and quickly absorbed, leaving no shine. Oil can be applied with light movements along the massage lines, removing excess with a paper towel. Suitable for all skin types.

Reviews and recommendations of cosmetologists

– Avocado oil is universal for nourishing the skin of the whole body. It saturates it with fatty acids and replenishes the lack of moisture, helping to reduce wrinkles and dryness. The product is suitable for the care of delicate skin around the eyes, as well as for enriching other cosmetic products. Like any oil, they should be used with caution in inflammatory conditions on the skin. The oil is a base oil, so it can be used in its pure form. Natalia Akulova, cosmetologist-dermatologist.
