How Avocado Oil is Good For Your Skin

You know avocado? We call it ube békee in Igbo land. I was not a fan of it when I was a little girl until 2014 when I learned about the benefits. It's a healthy fat and the oil is amazing. Let's see how your skin can benefit from it.


Avocado oil can penetrate into the second layer of the skin (dermis) and provide deep moisturizing with its oleic acid and phytosterols. People who have a dry and sensitive skin type are usually advised to use oils rich in oleic acid. The lecithin in avocado oil helps boost collagen, and the pro-vitamin A carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin enhance the skin’s natural antioxidant store.

Studies have found that avocados, and by extension avocado oil, can both prevent and treat skin damage, thanks to their PFA. In a study, when PFA was injected into skin cells before they were exposed to UVB rays:
The skin cells showed increased ability to recover.
The secretion of inflammation-inducing chemicals was decreased.
DNA repair was enhanced.

Avocado oil has benefits not just for a sun-damaged skin but any skin that shows the signs of natural aging like wrinkles, dryness, and flaccidity.
Vitamin E and lecithin in avocado help boost the collagen in the skin, giving it firmness.
Vitamin E and carotenoids also prevent inflammation and keep wrinkles from showing on the skin.

The fatty acids in avocado oil penetrate into the second layer of the skin, moisturizing it well and preventing aging-related dryness and wrinkles.

You can prevent and cure acne by using avocado oil. This oil keeps the skin hydrated without leaving it too oily, which reduces the risk of acne. It can also help with its linoleic acid content since the lack of linoleate in the sebum-producing skin cells is linked to acne.

Avocado oil mixed with vitamin B12 has been found to relieve the symptoms of psoriasis, a condition where skin cells build up to form dry, scaly, and itchy patches on the skin.
