Want to help your clients delay the signs of aging? Introduce them to the skin enhancing benefits of avocado oil. With its chemical properties and water-retaining qualities, avocado oil also acts as a moisturizer to promote soft and supple skin. According to Med-health.net, avocado oil contains:
• A high amount of proteins and unsaturated fats, which are strong skin agents.
• Sterolin, which studies have shown facilitates the softening of the skin and reduces the incidence of age spots.
• Antioxidants like vitamins A, D and E cause the skin to be suppler, and are thus particularly good for sun-damaged, dry or aged skin.
• Lecithin and Potassium, which are all highly beneficial for the skin as well as the hair.
A Superfood Profile on avocado oil suggests that its skin benefits may be the way it helps increase the production of collagen, which starts to break down as we age due to damage from the sun, poor nutrition, and other environmental factors. Avocado oil may help delay wrinkles and other signs of skin aging by preventing, and perhaps even reversing collagen breakdown.
