Dry skin in winter: here's how avocado can help you
Avocado is a fruit much loved and appreciated by the new generations but also by the previous ones. Brought to the fore by Japanese cuisine (see sushi) and increasingly becoming part of our cuisine, avocado is an excellent fruit due to its properties and benefits for the body. However, not everyone knows that avocado is an excellent ally also for skin and hair thanks to its hydrating and nourishing properties. Especially in winter therefore, avocado is an excellent ally that you will no longer be able to do without.
All the properties of avocado on the face
In winter, as we know, the skin tends to be drier due to the wind and colder temperatures. Preventing the formation of dry areas on the face is possible thanks to a transformation and adaptation of your skincare routine to the winter period. Here's how avocado can help you with this goal:
Fights wrinkles
The secret to fighting wrinkles and counteracting premature skin aging? Focus on hydrating your skin. In fact, hydrated skin is also more elastic skin which therefore will not lead to the appearance of marks and wrinkles due to facial expressions. In this context, avocado becomes an unbeatable ally thanks to its deeply hydrating and nourishing properties.
Its anti-aging action is easily explained if we take into consideration that avocado pulp is rich in vitamin E, a truly perfect ingredient for combating free radicals, one of the main causes of premature skin aging.
Anti-inflammatory and soothing action
Not only hydration and nourishment, avocado is a perfect beauty ally also for its anti-inflammatory properties. All this is possible thanks to the presence not only of Vitamin E, but also of Vitamin C, zinc and Omega 3 fatty acids. All these special ingredients make avocado a fruit capable of helping us also in restoring the skin's pH altered due to skin inflammation and irritation.
DIY hydrating face mask
Avocado pulp is perfect to use in combination with other ingredients with hydrating and nourishing properties. You can start by extracting the pulp which will be separated from the peel, and then proceed by inserting the resulting amount into a mixer and adding honey, olive oil or plain yogurt to make everything creamier. Blend the ingredients together and spread the creamy mixture you obtain directly onto cleansed facial skin. Leave on for 15 minutes and then rinse your face and proceed with your usual skincare routine.
The result will be hydrated and protected skin, ready to face the lowest temperatures while minimizing the possibility of the skin drying out.
