Avocados extend beyond being a flavourful culinary choice; they are also a boon for your skincare regimen. Known for their rich nutrient content and moisturising properties, avocados offer various benefits that could potentially help maintain healthy, vibrant skin.
So, if you're looking to enhance your skin’s hydration, reduce inflammation, or maybe even protect your skin’s barrier against environmental damage, avocados just might be the skin superfood you need.
This blog explores the potential benefits of incorporating avocado-rich products into your skincare routine and how they can transform your skin's health and appearance.
1. Hydrates and Moisturises
One of the most well-known advantages of avocado is the fact that it boasts hydrating and moisturising properties, benefitting you both internally and externally.
With its rich content of natural oils and beneficial mono- and polyunsaturated fatty acids, avocados help to keep your skin hydrated and soft. Additionally, the natural oils provide more intense and longer-lasting hydration, making avocado an ingredient in skincare products that could target dry, dehydrated skin.
One such product is the Diamond Tomato® V-Lift Mask with Avocado and Vitamin E, which contains avocado extract that nourishes the skin from within, allowing you to experience the hydrating benefits of this fruit.
2. Helps with Inflammation
Avocado offers great benefits for inflamed skin, thanks to its high levels of vitamins C and E and antioxidants. These components work together to calm irritated skin, address redness, and manage discomfort commonly linked to skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis. Additionally, the fatty acids in avocado further enhance its anti-inflammatory effects by strengthening the skin's natural barrier against environmental stressors.
To maximise these benefits, the aforementioned Diamond Tomato® V-Lift Mask contains not only avocado but also a significant amount of added vitamin E. This combination of avocado and vitamin E in the mask boosts its ability to fight inflammation and maintain the skin’s health.
3. Prevents Skin Damage
Avocado is also thought to prevent skin damage due to its rich content of vitamins and natural antioxidants. This theory emerged due to research indicating that these nutrients can effectively combat oxidative stress and help shield the skin from environmental hazards, including pollution and UV radiation, which can lead to premature aging and skin deterioration.
When combined with the unique properties of white tomatoes, as found in the Diamond Tomato® V-Lift sheet mask, the protective benefits of avocado are enhanced. White tomatoes contain colourless carotenoids like Phytoene and Phytofluene that absorb harmful UV rays, offering protection against UVA and UVB rays. These carotenoids also prevent melanin formation, reducing the risk of hyperpigmentation and dark spots.
4. Repairs the Skin Barrier
In addition to preventing skin damage, avocados can also help with repairing and strengthening the skin barrier, as they contain lutein and zeaxanthin. These compounds help prevent skin damage, safeguarding the skin from the harmful effects of external factors like harmful UV rays. Moreover, the essential fatty acids in avocados, with their rich vitamin content, contribute to active barrier repair. These are beneficial for skin that has become sensitive or irritated from the use of harsh skincare products.
Therefore, integrating avocados into your skincare routine can soothe and reset your skin's natural balance. For that, you can consider using our Diamond Tomato® V-Lift Mask, which also contains vitamin E, known for its potent skin-repairing properties. This mask not only reaps the benefits of avocado but also boosts skin recovery through the additional healing power of vitamin E.
5. Improves Skin Elasticity
Avocado is highly beneficial for improving skin elasticity due to its rich content of essential fatty acids and vitamins, particularly vitamin E. These nutrients help promote collagen production, which plays a crucial role in maintaining the skin’s elasticity and firmness.
When applied topically, as in a sheet mask, avocado can deliver the benefits of these nutrients directly to the skin, enhancing its ability to absorb and use them effectively. The design of a sheet mask ensures that these potent ingredients are held against the skin, allowing for maximum absorption for optimal results.
The Diamond Tomato® V-Lift Mask with avocado takes this further by incorporating a unique lifting technology. This sheet mask not only nourishes the skin with avocado but also includes an ear hook design that provides full face and chin coverage, effectively targeting areas prone to sagging, such as the jawline and double chin. This design also helps to lift and firm the skin, aiding with the skin’s elasticity and overall facial contour.
Discover the Goodness of Natural Ingredients
The benefits of avocado for the skin are extensive and impactful. From hydrating and moisturising dry skin to reducing inflammation and protecting against environmental damage, avocado is a powerhouse ingredient that supports skin health in multiple ways.
However, avocado isn't the only ingredient that offers significant skincare benefits. Ingredients like aloe vera, dragonfruit, and others are also essential for preserving skin vitality and enhancing its natural radiance. That's why Evans Dermalogical features a wide range of face masks in the Diamond Tomato® series that include these effective ingredients.
