Wait, what? Avocado is a fruit? Hold on. There’s so much you need to know about the benefits of avocado for your insides and your outsides! Besides the mind-blowing fact that it is a member of the berry family, Avocado has an impressive list of nutrients and healthy fats that can give you a powerful boost of nutrition to your diet, but it can also help keep your skin glowing too.
There’s a reason avocado toast went viral. Finding more ways to add avocado into your diet is smart. Here’s why. Avocado is full of body-loving healthy fats that help slow down the breakdown of carbohydrates helping keep blood sugar levels more stable and helps you feel fuller longer. Plus you get fiber, vitamins C, E, K, and B6, as well as riboflavin, niacin, folate, magnesium, and potassium plus beta carotene, and omega-3 fatty acids. Wow.
All that plus avocados are rich in phytonutrients and antioxidants supporting a long list of functions in your body from fighting free radicals to helping lower blood pressure and even lowering cardiac inflammation.
So how does it benefit your outsides? All that internal goodness translates into healthier skin. In one study, subjects who ate an avocado daily showed significant increase in elasticity and firmness in the skin. And when you put it on your skin, the benefits don’t stop. Because of its structure, Avocado oil has been found to penetrate the skin's natural moisture barrier more effectively than other popular plant oils, like olive oil or almond oil.
So whether you’re eating avocado on your morning toast or using our Moisture Loving Avocado + Cactus Pear scent to support your skin's cleanliness, you win.
