10 Benefits of Avocado
Avocado Benefit #4: Skin Health
Avocados are rich in a variety of vitamins and minerals that are essential to proper skin nutrition. Many individuals will create topicals and lotions for their skin to help moisturize and replenish nutrients. Although avocado based topicals may be beneficial, consumption of avocados alone provides a plethora of benefits to skin and hair health.
Avocados contain biotin and antioxidants such as vitamin E, vitamin C, and lutein which are all known to be essential ingredients to a moisturized and healthy looking skin. Antioxidants help protect against free radicals, while lutein helps to promote water content and elasticity of the skin. Biotin is an essential B vitamin for healthy skin and helps to prevent dry skin as well as rashes.
