From lotions, soaps, face masks to hair masks, more and more avocado-based beauty products are on the market. Avocados are known to be very beneficial in maintaining healthy skin. The benefits of using avocado masks regularly on facial skin include:
1. Prevent premature aging
Avocados contain carotenoids, namely lutein and zeaxanthin, which can help prevent premature aging due to excessive exposure to free radicals. In addition, avocados also contain omega 3 acids that help prevent wrinkles and prevent collagen breakdown in the skin.
2. Prevents skin damage due to sun exposure
The carotenoids in avocados also help prevent skin damage from sun exposure. However, make sure to use sunscreen when you are outdoors.
3. Smoothes and moisturizers facial skin
Avocado masks contain many nutrients, one of which is sterolin which is known to smooth and moisturize facial skin. In addition, the content of vitamin E in avocados can moisturize the skin while increasing collagen production.
4. Increase skin elasticity
Studies have shown that avocado's monounsaturated fat content can improve skin elasticity and prevent or reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
5. Prevent acne
Omega 3, Vitamin C, and antibacterial compounds in avocado can reduce the appearance of acne. If you want the best results, add avocado oil to your avocado mask.
