How to Use Avocado Oil as a Face Moisturizer to Stop Wrinkles


Moisturizing fats in avocadosHere’s how to use cold pressed oil of avocados as a moisturizer on your face and save money on expensive petrochemical cosmetics.

Also learn why this natural treatment is so good for your skin and how it works against blemishes, blackheads, fine lines and wrinkles.

Avocado Oil Skin Benefits

Cold pressed avocado oil is one of the richest sources of beneficial monounsaturated fatty acids like oleic acid.

These healthy fats are a great addition to your diet. They can also have a noticeable effect on the texture and appearance of your skin when applied topically.

Avocado oil’s oleic acid is an epidermal penetration enhancer that quickly hydrates and softens your skin when used as a moisturizer.

Application of the unrefined oil is often praised in beauty forums for its effectiveness at diminishing age spots and smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles.

Many people say it works far better for skin smoothing and lessening the appearance of wrinkles than expensive cosmetics, or other natural skin oils like sweet almond and rosehip seed.

It is also recommended as a natural treatment for acne, blackheads, blemishes and other forms of skin inflammation.

Dermatologists cite avocado oil’s antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that counteract inflamed sebaceous gland symptoms of acne vulgaris.

Of course it’s important to remember that individual results can vary greatly depending on your skin type and other factors like good internal nutrition.

Even if using avocado oil on your face doesn’t work as well for you as it has for myself and others, you’ve still got a superior cooking oil for your kitchen. In fact, it has the highest smoke point of any culinary oil and is ideal for frying with.

Personal Experience

Personally, since using avocado oil as a facial moisturizer, in the way I’ll describe ahead, I’ve noticed significant improvements in my skin tone and complexion.

The skin on my face appears much softer, with a visible lessening of the fine lines on my forehead.Avocado moisturizer oils

Initially I was worried that using it on my face would make it appear greasy, but after it has been absorbed it’s actually the opposite.

It seems my facial skin is so well hydrated after using avocado oil that it doesn’t need to produce the excess sebum that it used to.

More significantly, the blackheads and enlarged pores on my nose and upper cheeks appear visibly reduced and an occasional slight facial redness has also lessened.

My skin wasn’t that terrible before by any means (aren’t we always our own worst critics). Avocado oil application just seems to have made it much better.

How to Use Cold Pressed Avocado Oil on Your Face 

Apply this natural oil to your face in the same way you would any other moisturizer – with a cotton wool pad or very clean fingers.

Make sure your facial skin is washed well and preferably still damp to spread it easily, always in a gentle upward motion as recommended in beauty tutorials.

I use it straight after showering or washing my face in the evening. You don’t need that much, just a small dab on each cheek and on your forehead.

Avocado oil is a very concentrated source of skin nutrition like monounsaturated fatty acids, phytosterols, vitamin E and other antioxidants. A little goes a long way.

While it’s not absorbed as quickly as some moisturizers, it should be barely noticeable in 10 to 15 minutes.

If this bothers you then give it a few minutes to be absorbed and then gently wipe your face with a damp washcloth to remove any excess.

You could use it as a day moisturizer (and I often do on days off when I’m not heading out). It does seems more suitable for nightly facial moisturization though, preferably applied just before bed.

Avocado and Sweet Almond Combination

Many posters in beauty forums recommend mixing half cold pressed avocado and half sweet almond oil, which is also very beneficial for the skin.

Almond oil takes longer to absorb though, so you may want to keep this as an evening moisturizer and use a damp washcloth on your face before your head hits the pillow.

I’d be interested to hear from anyone who has tried this or any other combinations on their face in the comments below.Avocados and their oil is good for your skin

A Natural and Versatile Beauty Treatment

It is important to look for cold pressed and unrefined oil, preferably from organic avocados.

Don’t get the cheaper refined version if you’re interested in avocado oil’s skin restorative properties, rather than just its moisturizing effects.

The minimal refinement of cold pressed avocados preserves much more of the important plant sterols, chlorophyll, vitamin E and other antioxidants.

You can also use it as your cooking oil, as a salad dressing and in recipes to get some good internal skin nutrition. Another great way to improve your skin nutritionally is to mix up superfood powders, like 1UP Nutrition Greens and Reds, and drink them regularly.

I hope this guide to using avocado oil as a face moisturizer for wrinkles, blackheads, acne and better skin has been helpful. I’d be interested to read in the comments how it works for you personally.

I use avo oil in my home made sugar scrubs – equal parts sugar and avo oil. Brilliant results. I’m an actress in my late twenties but being short, my career has been made playing children mostly. I maintain my skin with avo oil and am frequently mistaken for eighteen. I’ve always looked young, but I was starting to get fine lines and freaking out a little as looking older right now would kill my career (more so than most actresses). Avocado oil has made a huge difference.

I also cook with it, equal parts avo and coconut instead of olive oil, and the taste is sooooo much better.

And I massage it into my scalp once or twice a week, the night before I wash (with apple cider vinegar and bicarb, not shampoo) and I found my scalp produces less oil because of it and I can last longer between washes.

Hi Erica. It sounds like we both use avocado oil for similar things. I also use it with the oil cleaning method for my skin, as a hair treatment and to cook with as it has a much higher smoking point than olive oil. It looks like it’s working well for you too.

I was using organic coconut oil for a face moisturizer and it does not work as well as avocado oil . I have really dry skin and the avocado oil seems to hydrate better then a lot of skin care products on the market and I have tried many. And I still use and love coconut oil for cooking and for my hair.

It is wonderfully moisturising for dry skin.It is a heavier/richer feeling oil on the skin than some other oils.I mix 10 mls avo oil with 3 drops frankincense essential oil for the face & 10 mls avo oil with 6 drops frankincense essential oil for the body as I have dry skin & wrinkles.Avocado is good for dryness & frankincense is good for ageing skin.Both these oils combined makes skin look younger and feel deeply hydrated.I have never used avo oil without adding essential oil as well.

I’ve recently switched over to avocado oil from coconut oil as a face moisturizer in hopes that I would solve the following issue: after washing my face I apply the oil onto my face with clean fingers and while the oil is sitting there trying to absorb I can feel my skin tightening and getting dry and scaly with the oil right on top of my face! This has happened with coconut oil and it is happening with avocado oil as well. I have to say that I do not have dry skin, throughout the day I get extremely oily so I don’t understand why this happens. Can you please help me?

Avocado oil works perfectly on my skin. I apply it at night before bedtime… But of course after washing my face thoroughly.
I can feel the big difference after using it for a week. I also use it on my entire body and i think it helps to firm my saggy skin. I also love how it works on my feet…i use it as a massage oil… Avocado oil is my beauty wonder!

I also use lemon and baking powder as a face mask 2x a week… It helps get rid of my brown spots.

Malwina, it sounds like your skin is too dry, even though it may not seem that way. When our skin is too dry, it over-produces oil. You might consider changing your cleanser. I’m even starting the oil cleansing method with castor and avocado. I believe there is a link to it in this article.

can someone please tell me what type of brand avocado oil works for face moisturization? I have tried essensu avocado oil it was thick, dark green & didn’t do much. I have tried the olde shoppe avocado oil (supposed to be for face & body) in a small one ounce container and I did not like it – the same for a Sonoma brand avocado oil in a one ounce dropper. I also tried dr. Adorables avocado oil (often the cheapest type on ebay) I got the yellow version, and also did not like it. I was hoping the oil would be somewhat silky and seep into my skin, leaving it moisturized, even if I only use two quarters worth for my entire face. Instead, many of the oils I have used have left my face feeling matte. I also am aware, that avocado oil color can range from yellow, to yellow-green, to fairly green to dark green. If anyone has any advise as to what type of avocado oil they use on their face & where I may find it, this would be of great help to me. Thanks!

I have always loved to choose the ”natural” solution to a problem. I am definitely going to try Avocado oil as a moisturiser. My skin tend to mature easily with quite deep wrinkles at the age of 48 already. Will the use of avocado oil slow this process down and even soften the prominent lines?
What is a good natural cleanser to use before applying the avocado oil? How about a toner? What would you suggest?

I have used avocado oil as a moisturizer for over a year and my skin looks great! As a former Estee lauder consultant, I have tried all the expensive products out there and avocado oil is the best. It has reduced fine lines by 50-70%. I now make my own body lotions and scrubs using natural ingredients.

Hi Helena,

I like apple cider vinegar diluted 1:1 with water as a cleanser/toner before avocado oil, which should also help with wrinkles.

I’m doing an extensive study on oils at the moment, for skin care, and also the benefits it brings to us as a whole. To cut everything I’m learning short; the fatty acid makeup of the different oils is very important, and should have a lot of part to play in your decisions in regarding to your skin type, sometimes mixing a few different oils is a very good option for choosing which nutrients your skin needs most. Linoleic, Linolenic, Oleic fatty acids are some of the more important ones to look at. Avocado oil is one of my favourites, and I mix it with Emu oil, which is very potent at keeping the skin healthy, stopping scarring formation, very easily absorbable, and extremely anti-inflammatory, I also like to mix with castor bean oil, or sometimes Hazelnut oil, which is very rich in vitamins, fatty acids, and is mildly astringent which is good for oily skin types, and helping to maintain skin elasticity, and keeping acne under control.

Hi,

I used natural oils over the course of a few months last year (avocado oil in the mornings and rosehip seed oil at night…all organic, old pressed, etc. the best ones as recommended) and unfortunately my face and neck (where I applied the oils) got extremely dry… to the point of really hurting from being pulled… My whole neck/face would literally be pulling from the dryness… What I used to do was wash my face thoroughly before application each time and apply the oils on dampish skin… It’d feel wonderful as I’d apply but within a very short period of time my skin where I applied would start getting dry and drier and extremely dry…to the point of seriously hurting because my neck would feel so dry and pulling…it’d also cause itching because it’d be so dry… One thing though… my complexion had become wonderful… My whole face was glowing beautifully and all even skin tone and very pure and beautiful looking skin… yet horribly dry… Last note: I was not using any other skin product during this period and only these 2 oils as I described… I’d so love to go back to using these fantastic oils if I could figure out how to use them without getting my skin so unbarebly dry… Appreciate deeply any advise you may give…

Hi Angelique,

Sorry to hear it hasn’t worked well for you. I have the opposite results with avocado oil and rosehip oil is well known as a treatment for dry skin, not usually a cause of it. All I can think is possibly a reaction to one or both of these.

Jojoba oil is often recommended and even coconut oil for very dry skin. It’s also often suggested to apply a small amount of hyaluronic acid over the top of the natural oil to seal it in.

Hope this helps,

Jim

I have been suffering for sometime with very dry flaky skin which also felt very tight. I’d bought and tried dozens of creams and lotions to to which none worked and often irritated further leaving a burning sensation. I came across an article about the benefits of flaxseed oil and advocado oil, and since then I have been using them combined on an evening, although a little greasy at first my face immediately felt hydrated and my skin soaked up the oil. My skin no longer feels tight and I no longer wake up with flaky skin. I mix a little advocado oil to my normal moisturiser for a morning treat. I have just bought some oil dropper bottles so that I can mix the two oils and have them already mixed. After reading this article I will definitely try the sweet almond oil as I think this will smell lovely as well as having fantastic benefits. I’m so happy I’ve found something that finally works!!!

Jim,

I recently started using avocado oil on my face at night, 2 drops applied to the drier areas and then spread a bit further on my face (applied after 2 serums). I’ve used other oils in the past (also 2 drops) on top of the serums (argan oil, maracuja oil…). The avocado oil seems to sit on my skin for a long time. It’s still there when my head hits the pillow. Then my avocado oil-y face hits the pillow! Is this typical? The other oils I’ve used have absorbed into my skin more quickly.

Your thoughts? Thanks!

Hi Jenny Lee and thank you for your positive comments. I’m glad avocado oil worked so well for dry skin for you.

Reply
Jim Dillan

Hi Glory,

I and others I’ve read about generally apply avocado oil directly to still damp skin and it is usually well absorbed in 10 – 15 minutes. Perhaps applying it after the serums is preventing it being absorbed properly and it might work better applied before.

Unfortunately everyone’s skin has different reactions to natural oils. I’d say about three quarters of the comments I receive on avocado oil as a moisturiser find it beneficial but roughly one quarter find it doesn’t work as well for them.

All the best,

Jim

Hello Jim,

I am 21 and have hormonal mild acne with humongous large pores. I picked up cold pressed extra virgin avocado oil today and am trying it for the first time. I am a bit concerned that it might enlarge my pore. Do you recommend it for someone with my skin type? Also i have ordered rosehip seed oil yesterday (I just discovered the world of wonderful oils) is it okay to mix avocado and rosehip seed oil together for a night moisturiser?

Reply
Jim Dillan

Hi Jasmeen,

Using avocado oil with the oil cleaning method described here https://superfoodprofiles.com/ways-avocado-oil-acne-problems can help to reduce enlarged pores and acne over time and normalize oil secretions. Rosehip seed oil is a good combination with avocado oil for most people, though with either there may be an initial breakout which should clear up once your skin adjusts.

All the best,

Jim

I decided to turn to something more natural to soothe my dry skin. I had purchased cold pressed avocado oil that i used in my hair and it worked wonders. I figured i would also try it on my face. It worked incredible! No breakout yet, used for two days and my skin is so hydrated and soft. I will continie this natural regimen. Definitely worth the try!!!

What are you using to cleanse your face? I’ve discovered all cleansers are not created equal. Also, try consuming one tablespoon of avocado, coconut, or olive oil daily. Consuming coconut or olive oil as a salad dressing has improved my skin from the inside out and is healing the two eczema flares that recently surfaced.

Hi Angelique,
Sorry, you probably wrote that ages ago, but I have had similar results with avocado and rosehip. Avocado never sunk in and scaled my skin right away, even when it wasn’t dry. Pai Rosehip was amazing the first time I used it. It seemed to slough off dead skin and left my skin so smooth. However, after that first time, it never sank in again. Did you ever find out why the oils didn’t work for your skin? Or find something that does work amazingly?

Reply
Cate

Hyaluronic acid serum applied before any oil on the face is recommended since the serum is a humectant and draws in moisture. The avocado oil put on last acts as a barrier to seal in that moisture. I learned this recently from doing a bit of research on skincare. Works for me, I make my own hyaluronic acid serum, which I apply first and the final step is a homemade facial moisturizer using avocado oil as the main ingredient. Been doing this for about two years and the results are amazing. My skin tone is even and I no longer have dry skin, fine lines have disappeared. I do think I will try using apple cider vinegar as a toner like you suggest. I currently use a rose petal witch hazel and love it. But the cider vinegar is much easier to find here locally. All the products I use are organic, and the avocado oil is cold pressed nonGMO, etc. bought at the supermarket or Walmart. This oil is great as a facial cleanser, and massaged into the scalp prior to shampooing my hair. Thanks for the great article!

It’s also fantastic when mixed with aloe Vera gel! I use it for anything-as a body , face and even eyelid moisturiser! Love avocado oil!

Hi Jamie,

Expeller pressed can involve some heat, which is something you want to avoid with more fragile oils like flaxseed and pumpkin seed oil.

Avocado oil is more heat stable to it would be fine for basic cosmetic use. Unrefined cold pressed avocado oil does have an extra advantage of containing more skin beneficial antioxidants though, which are generally processed out of cheaper more refined avocado oil with the clearer color.

Can this avocado oil work for redness on face

Reply
Valerie

I have been using jojoba oil on my face every night. I’ve heard avocado oil is a good face moisturizer can I mix that with my jojob oil? Due to my sensitive skin, it doesn’t tolerate over-the-counter moisturizers anymore because of all the different ingredients that are in them. And the reactions they have to my skin. Jojoba oil is great but sometimes it doesn’t seem like it’s nourishing enough. I also have to be careful of what skin oils are used since i have an olive complexion and sweet almond oil, coconut oil turns my skin darker. So I have eliminated those.

Reply

Hi Cezy,

Possibly, if the redness on the face is inflammation due to a reaction to polyunsaturates and an overabundance of inflammatory series 2 prostaglandins – more on this topic here https://superfoodprofiles.com/better-skin-flaxseed-oil-ala

Can you use avocado oil on other parts of the body too? Or is there anywhere you shouldn’t put it? I sometimes get dry itchy patches of skin on my body and no lotion or cream has ever really helped except prescription hydrocortisone, which I don’t want to use all the time.

I was just gifted a bottle of avocado oil and am trying it out for the first time. After reading all the comments, I’m excited to see how it will work on my face!
