Superfood, Super You

Our obsession with the latest healthy smoothies and green juices are taking a whole new stance in our daily lives. Not only are we drinking these precious ingredients, but now we are putting them on our faces!

Avocado

Avocados are an excellent superfood and give so many incredible benefits to the skin and health in general when ingested or used in skincare. They are high in healthy oils, fatty acids (like omega 9) and vitamin E, which help with healthy skin cell function and hydration.

Water

This one might not be a superfood but it’s very important so let’s call it a “super-drink”. Hydrating your body is key to replenishing water in the cells to lock in moisture, boosting that soft, plump and glowing feel. This plumping effect can also be boosted with the use of a water based serum which hydrates the protein in our skin (elastin and collagen) and promotes younger looking skin.

Lemon

Lemons are great for the skin as they are packed with vitamin C which help to neutralise free radicals and produce collagen and elastin. This binds the skin together and gives us firm and younger looking skin. They contain alkaline chemicals which help to balance the body's pH levels, helping to cure super sensitive, dry and irritation prone skin.

Greens

In many brands we’ve seen an increase in leafy greens, such as kale and spinach, finding their way into creams, serums and oils. We are no different. This season, we have formulated products loaded with superfood goodness, from avocado and olive to sweet almond, papaya, coconut and raspberry seed oils.

At Avant we take pride in our use of all of these superfood oils, especially in products like our Advanced Bio Restorative Superfood Oil.

In many of our products here at Avant, not just ones specifically labelled as a superfood products, we feature all kinds of superfood ingredients. We also use ingredients such as rice bran, antioxidants and fatty acids, which help our products smooth onto the skin like butter, helping to keep it supple, strong and healthy no matter what age you are.
