Avocado oil is a storehouse of B vitamins that are actively involved in cell regeneration processes. Thanks to these substances, as well as micro- and macro elements, this product is of particular value not only as a food product, but also as a cosmetic product.
First of all, avocado oil is useful for aging skin that has a faded complexion and is prone to wrinkles. The constant use of oils, especially from avocados or olives, helps keep the skin young and beautiful for many years.
When using avocado oil, the skin is not only saturated with useful substances, but also deeply moisturized.
How to properly use avocado cosmetic oil for the face, so that it brings the maximum benefit, we learn in this article.
Application of avocado oil for face
Avocado essential oil is used exclusively as a "decor" - to relax and add a mask or other fragrance.
A typical avocado oil for facial skin is used for practical purposes - it is added to masks, it is used to create a cream or used as a means for make-up.
Daily use of avocado oil
If the avocado oil suits you, and its impact on the skin is evaluated positively by you, then you can safely use it every day. This is a huge plus of many natural remedies - they are not restricted in use, because they are a harmless product, unlike many masks, gels and skin serums intended for use a maximum of several times a week. If you have young skin that is prone to dryness and small wrinkles appear, then avocado oil can be used instead of a face cream. Do not forget about lotion and high-quality skin cleansing.
Avocado oil is suitable even for oily skin, contrary to the notion that oily and combination skin requires skimmed cream with minimal nutrition and moisturizing. This position leads to the opposite effect - due to insufficient nutrition, oily skin starts to gloss even more strongly to compensate for the water-fat balance on its surface.
Another way of daily use of avocado oil is to do with make-up remover . A fatty base dissolves cosmetics, and therefore oil becomes not only effective, but also a useful remedy for removing cosmetics.
Masks with avocado oil
With avocado oil, the following face masks are effective:
- for sensitive skin - with oatmeal and cream;
- for fading skin - with lemon, sour cream and almond oil;
- for oily skin - with blue clay.
Mask with oatmeal and cream
Sensitive skin requires special attention, because any damage can lead to redness or other adverse reaction. But along with this sensitive skin needs a good cleansing and periodic scrubbing. Soft ointment can be considered oatmeal - this gruel has a soft effect on the skin, and at the same time is able to exfoliate dead skin cells.
The mask is prepared and applied as follows:
- Mix together an equal proportion of avocado oil, cream and oatmeal, and then let the mask steep for 15 minutes.
- After that, apply the gruel to the cleansed skin, preferably pre-steamed, and after 20 minutes rinse it.
Mask with almond oil and avocado
Almond oil is quite fat and nutritious, and therefore perfectly combined with avocado oil in the fight against withering skin:
- Mix 2 drops of lemon juice with sour cream and butter (1 tsp).
- Then mix the ingredients and apply to the face.
Since the fading skin, as a rule, has an uneven complexion,
Mask with blue clay
Blue clay is known for its cleansing and bactericidal properties, and is therefore ideally suited as a mask for oily skin. The second ingredient is avocado oil, it will not allow drying the skin, and thus provoke the activation of sebaceous glands:
- Mix in equal proportions oil and clay.
- Then add water in such quantity that the mixture has found a creamy state.
- Apply the mask to the skin for 15 minutes, and then wash it off.
