Avocado Oil

The LYA Avocado Oil is 100% pure and cold-pressed. It is rich in vitamin A, D and E making it a natural antioxidant that helps support healthy skin and hair. This oil is also rich in proteins and unsaturated fats that help increase the elasticity of the skin. The LYA Avocado Oil is a great moisturizer as it contains collagen and helps by protecting the natural components of the skin. With help of this oil, the water content of the skin is increased, and it helps keep the skin moisturized supple and rejuvenated. This also keeps with the softening of the skin and prevention of wrinkles and premature ageing. Avocado oil is a wonderful way to hydrate and nourish even the driest and most damaged skin. It is perfect for mature skin types as it is a wonderfully replenishing oil. It penetrates easily and deeply into the skin and can be used for dry mature skin types, as well as for sun-damaged skin and for people suffering from Eczema or Psoriasis. Avocado Oil is a superb emollient and penetrates deeper into the skin than most carrier oils, so can be used as a luxurious carrier oil for an aromatherapy massage. It can be used on the face and body but on the hair, as a conditioner or hair mask. The vitamins and amino acids that avocado oil contains help protect and strengthen the hair, whilst in the long-term will help grow the hair. The components of avocado oil work all together to ensure the best for your hair helping it minimize damage and prevent future breakages. This makes it a great treatment for hair loss and restoring the scalp.

Say goodbye to dry, cracked cuticles by using avocado oil. The potassium in avocados boosts keratin content, which strengthens nails and gives nails a natural lustre while encouraging healthy growth.

Use For scalp care:

If you have a dry scalp you may benefit from using some avocado oil in hot oil treatment. To heat the oil, pour 3–5 tablespoons into a small glass jar, and place the jar in a saucepan of recently boiled water. Test the temperature of the oil frequently, to prevent it from getting too hot. When the oil is warm, remove the jar from the water and gently massage the oil into the scalp.

The oil can be left overnight and shampooed out in the morning. The oil can help keep your skin well-hydrated. This may help to reduce dandruff and dry, flaky skin on the scalp.

Use for hair growth:

Massage avocado oil into your scalp and on your ends, and leave for 15 to 20 minutes before thoroughly rinsing. You can also wear the treatment overnight. Cover your hair with a cap to increase heat. This will help promote blood circulation, moisturize the scalp, strengthen the roots, and encourage growth.

Use to Improve Hair Shine:

This helps moisturize the hair and improves natural sheen and is easy to style. Apply a small sized amount when hair is still damp or once it’s dry before hair styling and distributes evenly.

Use for Detangling Hair:

Apply avocado oil to tangles, or throughout your hair, as a detangling agent. This can be used as an alternative to a conditioner. After applying a small amount of avocado oil to the hair, you should then use a wide-toothed comb (or your fingers) to gently remove the tangles and straighten out the hair.

Use to avoid Hair Breakage:

Hair strands can easily break if they are always dry and brittle. To mitigate the impact of dry and brittle hair strands, you can coat your hair with a thin layer of avocado oil to make it more flexible and resistant to breaking when you brush your hair or tie it up. 

Use As a moisturiser:

Combine avocado oil with other essential oils and massage the mixture into the skin after a bath. Pat the skin dry with a towel before using the oil. Avocado oil is also effective on its own and can be applied all over the body to keep skin soft. Also, avocado oil can be used to moisturize the face at night. Wash it off the following morning.

Use for Treating dry, inflamed skin:

To heal and soften rough, dry skin, mix equal amounts of avocado and olive oils, and apply the mixture to the skin once or twice a day. To give the mixture a scent/odour, try one or two drops of essential oil, such as lavender. Also, you can add a few tablespoons of avocado oil to a bath to leave the whole body feeling soft and help to prevent hot water from drying out the skin. It can also be mixed with your favourite bath oil, such as lavender or aloe vera.
