Avocado Oil In Skin Serums And Face Masks
Avocado oil is one of the oils most easily absorbed by the skin. It penetrates skin well and contains fatty acids as well as vitamins and prevents moisture evaporation. This makes it an excellent carrier oil because it effectively delivers the benefits of essential oils deep into the tissues of your skin. Avocado oil is high in sterolins, which are known to help reduce age spots and help heal scar tissue and sun damage.
Avocado oil is best suited for dry damaged and aging skin types and it's regenerative properties are known to significantly increase the production of collagen in the skin.
Avocado oil is very thick, penetrates deep into the skin, but can leave a fatty waxy feel. Because of this it should be blended with other carrier oils to avoid leaving your skin feeling greasy.
Avocado oil is normally used at 10 to 20% dilution with other carrier oils like Almond or Apricot Kernel Oil. You can also use Avocado Oil with essential oils like lavender, tamanu, frankincense and neroli, which have regenerative or healing properties. When you know how to use oils - or in other words, what benefits they give to your skin, you can make serums and moisturizers that are perfect for your skin. You can repair damage and protect your skin from future damage from the environment.
