Using avocado oil for skincare

– Moisturize the skin:

Dilute avocado oil with other oils such as olive oil in a 1:1 ratio, and add 1-2 drops of lavender essential oil. Apply the mixture to the face or body after showering.

– Facial mask:

Cut a ripe avocado into square pieces and add a small amount of avocado oil. Use a fork or spoon to mash it into a smooth paste. Apply the mixture to the face and relax for 10 to 15 minutes, then rinse with warm water.

– Anti-aging cream:

Mix 1/4 cup of avocado oil with 2 tablespoons of coconut oil, 1/2 tablespoon of vitamin E oil, 2 tablespoons of beeswax, and 1 tablespoon of shea butter in a glass jar. Then place the mixed jar in a small pot of boiling water and stir well after the mixture melts.

Pour the mixture into another glass jar for it to solidify. Cover the jar and store the cream in a cool place.

– Soothe irritated skin: Mix avocado oil and honey in a 1:1 ratio. Apply the mixture to the affected skin and rinse off after 15 minutes.

– Cleanse the skin: Add avocado oil to bath milk or water and soak the body while bathing.

– Massage oil: Put avocado oil on both palms. Rub the palms to warm up the avocado oil, and massage the body in circular motions to nourish and relax the skin.

If using avocado for cooking, use ripe avocados. Store avocado oil in a cool place, away from direct sunlight and high temperatures that can cause the oil to spoil. Apply a small amount of avocado oil to the skin and observe any allergic reactions such as redness, itching, or discomfort. It is also advisable to consult a dermatologist or pharmacist when using avocado oil if you have specific skin conditions.
