Avocado and Mango Butter For a Beautiful Skin



Avocado Butter


There are many benefits to use avocado butter, not the least of them that it makes your skin look alive, vibrant and full of health. Add to that the fact that it is completely natural.
It contains the antioxidant vitamins A, E and D that kill of the free radicals that age your skin. A very scientific and comforting explanation of how it works, unlike that of the synthetic emulsified oils, containing surfactants that can damage your skin, rather than help it, and other even more toxic substances. It contains a natural sunscreen that protects your skin and hair from the damaging effects of the ultraviolet radiation of the sun.
Avocado butter also contains lecithin and unsaturated fatty acids that are beneficial to your skin, and it melts at only 30C - 35C making it very easy to apply to your skin.
It can be used to moisturize dry skin ad it can also help to reduce the appearance of age spots, sometimes referred to as liver spots, caused by the oxidation of fatty deposits just under your skin.
So, don't use these potentially toxic artificial labeled products, but try pure avocado oil next time you are looking for a skin care product. You won't regret it, and will likely be hooked on it for life: your skin certainly will!
Avocados. We rarely think of avocados as a cleansing food but these nutritional powerhouses lower cholesterol and dilate blood vessels while blocking artery-destroying toxicity. Avocados contain a nutrient called glutathione, which blocks at least thirty different carcinogens while helping the liver detoxify synthetic chemicals.

Mango Butter is emollient, nourishing, and can help soothe dry, chafed skin. This butter can sometimes have a slight fatty acid smell, but it does not generally carry a strong aroma, making it a great ingredient for use in solid perfumes or hair care formulations. Mango Butter makes a great main ingredient in balms and butters due to its ability to soften and moisturize the skin without being overly greasy. Though it is hard at room temperature, Mango Butter melts upon contact with the skin, making it a great choice for massage and lotion bars. Mango Butter can also be used as an alternative to Shea Butter in the creation of whipped body butters. This easy going butter does not tend to crystallize the way that Shea Butter can, and can be less frustrating to work with. Mango Butter can also be added to soaps, lip balms, fresh creams, and lotions. If you haven't tried working with Mango Butter before, try adding it in place of Shea or Cocoa Butter in your next simple formulation. This should give you a good idea of the differences in Mango Butter's texture and appearance.
