Abstract in brief

  • This pilot study investigated whether eating one avocado daily for 8 weeks can improve skin aging in healthy overweight women, focusing on skin firmness and elasticity.
  • It found that women who consumed avocado showed increased skin firmness and elasticity on their foreheads, although there was no significant change in skin hydration, pigmentation, or resistance to UVB radiation compared to the control group.
  • The study suggests that daily avocado intake might enhance facial skin firmness and elasticity, but further research is needed to confirm effects on other skin areas and overall skin aging.]
