Table 4: _Cont._collagen and elastin fibers, while also improving the moisture content of the skin. As a consequence, these advantageous outcomes result in increased skin hydration, successfully averting problems like dryness and chopped lips, and diminishing the apparent indications of aging, particularly wrinkles. The major components of avocado oil that contribute to these amazing skin benefits include vitamin A, which is essential for the formation of collagen. Additionally, the abundance of polyphenols in avocado oil serves as a barrier against matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), which are enzymes that break down collagen, keeping skin firm and supple over time. In summary, avocado oil's exceptional qualities support a holistic approach to skin care by successfully addressing issues with moisture and anti-aging [135; 136; 137; 138]. Other studies that delved into the various benefits of avocado extract when incorporated into skincare products unveiled a plethora of fascinating findings. First of all, it was found that avocado extract has skin-rejuvenating qualities. It not only improves skin moisture, but also greatly accelerates the creation and growth of the epithelial tissue. This leads to a noticeable enhancement of the skin's general appearance, which is crucial for fortifying the body's natural epidermal barrier.
