Avocados are native to Central and
South America and have been cultivated for centuries. Highly regarded
by the Mayan Indians for its extremely nourishing content and
considered to be essential to keeping the body’s joints moving
properly and to keep their skin young and supple. It has also been
stated that the Mayans used the oil from the avocados to help shield
their skin from damage from the elements such as the wind and sun.
Avocados have been called super fruit due to its high content of
nutrients, vitamins, and minerals. This fruit is naturally
nutrient-concentrated due to it containing over 20 vitamins and
minerals. It has long been noted for its benefits if consumed but it
is also beneficial when used topically in skincare. Avocado oil is
one of the few organic oils that’s composition is similar to the
natural secretions of skin cells.
Avocado Butter and oil is made from the
seed or “pit” of the fruit. Avocado seeds are packed with
antioxidants and free radicals that are essential to healthy skin.
The expressed oil nourishes and helps maintain an even
healthy-looking skin tone. Avocado oil and butter has been used in
cosmetics and skincare to heal dry, flaky skin. Due to its high
content of hydrocarbon and vitamins A, D, and E, avocado butter can
help relieve eczema. Avocado Oil also contains vitamin K, potassium,
and copper. Its amazing healing and soothing properties activate when
applied directly to dry, irritated skin. Avocado oil and butter is
also rich in linoleic acid, an essential fatty acid that aids in
skin-cell renewal and minimizes age spots and blemishes.
After washing your hands or even your
body, use avocado oil or butter to help form a protective barrier
over your skin to help it retain moisture. Retaining moisture is the
key to keeping your skin nourished and elastic which helps prevent
wrinkles. Make Avocado butter or oil part of your daily skincare
routine and watch your skin glow while reaping all the wonderful
benefits of this super fruit.
