3. Prevents and treats acne
When left on for short periods of time and rinsed off with warm water, avocado oil can keep skin hydrated without leaving an oily residue. This may reduce the risk of acne. Avocado oil also has anti-inflammatory effects, which can help to reduce the redness and inflammation associated with acne.
3、预防和治疗痤疮
当鳄梨油停留很短时间并用温水冲洗干净后，可以保持皮肤水分，而不会留下油腻的残留物。这可以降低痤疮的风险。鳄梨油还具有抗炎作用，有助于减少与痤疮相关的红肿和炎症。
4. Accelerates wound healing
One 2013 study found that the essential fatty acids and oleic acid in avocado oil can promote collagen synthesis, which is the process of creating new connective tissue.More studies are needed in humans, however, to determine whether avocado oil can be used to treat wounds.
4、加速伤口愈合
2013年的一项研究发现，鳄梨油中的必需脂肪酸和油酸可以促进胶原蛋白的合成，这是形成新的结缔组织的过程。然而，还需要进行更多的研究，以确定鳄梨油是否可用于伤口治疗。
5. Treats sunburned skin
The antioxidants in avocado oil may help to ease the symptoms of a sunburn. According to a 2011 review, the vitamin E, beta carotene, vitamin D, protein, lecithin, and essential fatty acids in the oil can support healing and soothe the skin.Other small studies have shown that consuming avocados may help to protect the skin from harmful UV radiation.
5、治疗晒伤皮肤
鳄梨油中的抗氧化剂可能有助于缓解晒伤症状。根据2011年的一份综述，油中的维生素E、β-胡萝卜素、维生素D、蛋白质、卵磷脂和必需脂肪酸可以帮助愈合和舒缓皮肤。其他小型研究表明，食用鳄梨可能有助于保护皮肤免受有害的紫外线辐射。
6. Reduces signs of aging
The first signs of aging usually appear on the skin. Some studies have shown that consuming healthful fats, such as those found in avocados, can help the skin to retain its elasticity.However, researchers have yet to address whether applying avocado oil to the skin has the same effect.
6、减少老化迹象
衰老的最初迹象通常出现在皮肤上。一些研究表明，食用有益健康的脂肪，如鳄梨中的脂肪，可以帮助皮肤保持弹性。然而，研究人员还没有研究出在皮肤上涂抹鳄梨油是否有同样的效果。
7. Improves nail health
While some people use avocado oil to heal dry, brittle nails, little scientific evidence confirms this benefit.However, using natural oils to keep the nails and surrounding skin soft may help to reduce breakage.
7、改善指甲健康
虽然有些人使用鳄梨油来治疗干燥易碎的指甲，但很少有科学证据证实这一益处。然而，使用天然油来保持指甲和周围皮肤的柔软性可能有助于减少破损。
8. Improves scalp health
Applying avocado oil to the scalp as a hot oil mask can help to reduce dandruff and other problems caused by a dry, flaky scalp.
8、改善头皮健康
把鳄梨油作为热油面膜涂在头皮上，可以帮助减少头皮屑以及由于头皮屑、头皮干燥引起的其他问题。

This may help to reduce dandruff and dry, flaky skin on the scalp.
头皮干燥的人可以在热油治疗中使用鳄梨油。为了加热油，将3-5汤匙倒入一个小玻璃罐中，然后将罐放在一个新开水的平底锅中。经常测试油的温度，以防过热。当油温热时，将罐子从水中取出，轻轻地将油按摩到头皮上。油可以留一晚，早上再洗头。这可能有助于减少头皮屑和头皮上干燥的片状皮肤。

Treating dry, inflamed skin /治疗干燥发炎的皮肤

要治愈和软化粗糙干燥的皮肤，混合等量的鳄梨油和橄榄油，并将混合物涂抹在皮肤上，每天一到两次。为了给混合物一种香味，试着滴一两滴精油，比如薰衣草。
潜在风险
Avocado oil is highly concentrated and may cause skin reactions.Side effects of avocado oil are rare, but it is possible to be allergic.
鳄梨油高度浓缩，可能引起皮肤反应。鳄梨油的副作用是罕见的，但它可能引发过敏。
The best way to rule out an allergy is to do a patch test. Apply a small amount of avocado oil to a 1-inch patch of skin on the inside of the arm. If no irritation occurs over a 24-hour period, the oil can be safely used on other parts of the skin.Anyone allergic to avocados should avoid contact with avocado oil.
排除过敏的最好方法是做一个皮肤过敏试验。在手臂内侧1英寸的皮肤上涂抹少量鳄梨油，如果24小时内没有任何刺激，则可以安全地用于皮肤的其他部位。对鳄梨过敏的人应避免接触鳄梨油。
