Unrefined Avocado Oil

CONDITIONS SKIN AND HAIR

Avocado oil helps to hydrate parched skin and aids
the regeneration of skin cells. A high fatty-acid content means the oil is great for conditioning rough skin on feet, knees, or elbows and repairing hair damaged by styling, sun, or harsh winter weather. It can be applied neat to small areas of very dry skin, but for everyday use try it as a 10–25 per cent blend with lighter oils as it has a high viscosity. Mash fresh avocado into a smooth paste for a deeply nourishing and soothing facial mask for all skin types. Leave it on the skin for 20 minutes, then wash off to reveal glowing skin.

REPAIRS AND PROTECTS SKIN Used regularly, avocado oil can help prevent or minimize the appearance of stretch marks. Apply
with damp hands straight after your bath or shower.

COMBATS SIGNS OF AGEING Avocado
oil adds lustre and shine to a tired or dull complexion. Fatty acids and phytosterols (plant hormones) help replenish and revitalize mature skin.

PROTECTS FROM THE SUN

While avocado oil cannot be used as a sunscreen on its own, it can boost protection to both skin and hair during sun exposure. The oil also helps to alleviate the pain of sunburn.
