The mighty avocado is more than an ingredient that restaurants charge extra for. It is a tropical fruit that exhibits an impressive nutrition profile. It is naturally rich in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and healthy fats<\/a> that help to keep the body healthy and strong. That probably isn\u2019t news to you if you aren’t a stranger to guacamole, chocolate avocado pudding, or avocado toast. <\/p>\n\n\n\n What you may not realize is that avocados benefit the skin, whether you eat them or apply them topically. Because they contain a lot of antioxidants and vitamin E<\/a>, avocados are great for people with sensitive skin. In this article, we\u2019ll detail a few skin benefits of avocados and why they are common ingredients in skin care products<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Avocado oil and avocado extract are not the same. Both are derived from the avocado fruit, but the oil is pressed from dried avocado pulp, which contains the fruit\u2019s skin and pit. Avocado extract tends to be derived from the fruit and leaves of the avocado tree. The fruit\u2019s extract is a concentrated liquid that has been the focus of many recent studies for its therapeutic benefits in medical settings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Although both avocado oil and avocado extract have their place in skin care products, avocado oil is used more commonly. It is naturally rich in monounsaturated fatty acids, including oleic acid, and vitamins A, C, and E. Due to the oil\u2019s high fat content, it is very useful in skin care products intended for dry or chapped skin.

These antioxidant compounds work to protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals, which commonly form after exposure to UV rays, pollution, and environmental aggressors. The accumulation of free radicals on the skin can damage the DNA of skin cells, which contributes to premature signs of aging<\/a>. Neutralizing these free radicals can protect the skin and keep it healthy.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Avocado oil is commonly used in facial cleansers and eye serums for this reason. When combined with other ingredients, such as olive oil or sweet almond oil, it can help remove dirt, oil, and other impurities without stripping the skin of its natural barrier. Avocado oil also provides long-lasting moisture, which is especially beneficial for people with dry skin<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n As we were just saying, avocado oil is an excellent ingredient that keeps the skin moisturized. The oil contains about 62% lipids, most of which are monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. Studies confirm that avocado oil can easily penetrate the skin\u2019s moisture barrier<\/a> more effectively than other plant oils. That makes avocado oil great for people with dry or flaky skin. You may see avocado oil or extract in moisturizers or hydrating masks for this reason. These creams and masks may help minimize water loss, creating more supple, hydrated skin<\/a>. These tend to be great for all skin types<\/a>, but always do a patch test on your arm to see if you develop a reaction.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nAvocado Oil And Avocado Extract In Skin Care<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
