Our skin is a living breathing organ and is larger in size than any other organ in the body. When skin comes into contact with anything it evaluates it and responds. Our skin is our bodies’ natural defence against millions of tiny invaders. With all the environmental challenges we have today I was wondering what I could do to keep this organ in shape.

When skin comes into contact with anything it evaluates it and responds.

• When ultra violet light hits the skin it responds by making a chemical we know as a ‘tan’.  Prolonged exposure will result in the skin burning.
• When chemicals come into contact with the skin the skin may react and produce other chemicals we see as a rash – what we know as an allergy.
  
• The skin also acts as a barrier to germs and most of the nasty things our environment dishes out.

Our skin is our bodies’ natural defence against millions of tiny invaders. This includes viruses, bacteria, radiation, environmental poisons and toxins. The health of our skin generally reflects the health of our body. The better condition our skin is in the more likely it is to do its job

Can you reverse the effects of age and skin misuse?

This is the ‘holy grail’ of skin care. 

I was not surprised, however, to read Avocado oil was found to protect skin from aging effects and cancer by a study published in October 2010 “Archives of Dermatological Research.” According to this well regarded journal certain lipid molecules unique to avocado oil, known as polyhydroxylated fatty alcohols, were tested and found to reduce ultraviolet light damage and inflammation. Use of avocado oil prior to ultraviolet light exposure was protective and application of avocado oil to damaged skin significantly reduced cellular damage.

More importantly, the research showed avocados have the unique ability to reverse sun damage.

Avocado Oil for Skin Care Benefits

So, what does avocado oil contain which makes it so good for skin? Avocado oil contains vitamin E, which gives a very good complexion. Here, are the avocado oil skin benefits:

• Avocado oil gives a soothing and softening effect to the skin and great as massage oil. With vitamins A, D and E it is especially good for dry skin and aging skin
• It is widely known that fish oil contains omega-3 essential fatty acids, but few know  omega-3 is also found in avocado oil
• It is also used to treat cramps, and used in body lotions and hair care products
• It is high in sterolins, and studies show that sterolins reduce the occurrence of age spots and help to soften the skin
• Oil from avocado is very helpful for itchy skin, and is highly regarded for people undergoing radical treatment such as chemotherapy
• It increases the production of collagen, and prevents aging of the skin
• Avocado oil is very good for healing and soothing of nappy rash
• You can use avocado oil for scaly skin and scalp treatment

Testimonial received May 10th 2011

I have been using the [Avado avocado] oil and face cream now for 1 week and cannot believe how my face feels or looks!!! I have spent a king’s ransom on products that claim to make you look younger, to reduce the site of wrinkles, to hydrate your skin etc I have finally found the pot at the end of the rainbow that lives up to its claims.

My skin is hydrate all day it feels soft and supple to touch all day and the wrinkles are less pronounced and to make it more appealing everyone can afford to look and feel good with confidence.

Thank you for taking us back to basics this is the way all skincare products should be and were before the greedy beauty industry started to miss lead us and fill our products with chemicals.

I am a customer for Life. Thank You
