Dry skin in winter: here’s how avocado can help you
Avocado is a fruit that is very loved and appreciated by new generations but also by previous ones. Brought to the forefront by Japanese cuisine (see sushi) and increasingly becoming part of our cuisine, avocado is an excellent fruit for its properties and benefits for the body. However, not everyone knows that avocado is also a great ally for skin and hair due to its moisturizing and nourishing properties. Especially in winter, therefore, avocado is a great ally that you won't 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 through a transformation and adaptation of your skincare routine to the winter period. Here’s how avocado can help you achieve this goal:
Fights wrinkles
The secret to fighting wrinkles and countering premature skin aging? Focus on skin hydration. A hydrated skin is indeed also a more elastic skin, which will therefore not lead to the appearance of signs 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 soon explained if we consider that the pulp of the avocado is rich in vitamin E, a truly perfect ingredient to counteract free radicals, which are among the main culprits of premature skin aging."
Anti-inflammatory and soothing action
Not only hydration and nourishment, avocado is also a perfect beauty ally due to 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 restore the skin's pH altered due to inflammation and skin irritations.
DIY hydrating face mask
The flesh of the avocado is perfect to use in combination with other ingredients that have moisturizing and nourishing properties. You can start by extracting the flesh, which should be separated from the skin, then proceed by placing what you have obtained into a blender and adding honey, olive oil, or plain yogurt to make it creamier. Blend the ingredients together and spread the creamy mixture you have obtained directly onto your cleansed facial skin. Leave it on for 15 minutes, then rinse your face and continue with your usual skincare routine.
The result will be hydrated and protected skin, ready to face the colder temperatures while minimizing the possibility of seeing the skin dry out.
