Why Avocado Oil Is Great For Your Skin
There are multiple ways to use avocado oil on your skin. Avocado oil helps fight the dryness that can lead to irritated skin or even breakouts. These super fruits are chock-full of vitamins and minerals, like vitamin E, which is essential for healthy skin. Avocado oil can boost collagen production, giving your skin a firmer, more youthful look. It performs a double function by penetrating deep into the skin plus sitting on top to form a protective barrier.
