Avocado revitalizes aging skin cells
Monday, January 5th, 2009Still worried about the dark circles under your eyes? Well, help might come in an unlikely place, avocados. Yes, avocados have proven to be very beneficial to skin cells.
It’s actually certain sugars found in avocados, for example D-manno-heptulose, that are solid boosters of collagen in the top layer of skin. Of course, this is where the discoloration is found in the skin. The avocado sugars are also found to produce an antimicrobial layer over the skin acting as a protectant against bacteria. Simply stated, it keeps the skin clean and healthy-looking.
Currently there aren’t any products out there that use this breakthrough ingredient yet. There are companies out there still trying to develop a safe, clean method to extract the avocado oil and formulate a consumer-friendly product to sell in stores.
