noticed how many people smoke.

One is bad and the other is worse. This is sci.med.nutrition not
sci.life-extension.

That made me feel better. I'm eating an

The feeling will pass.

Does rubbing avocadoes on
your skin help stop wrinkles?

No.

Should we always put some kind of lotion on our face even in winter?
is this just for sunblocking or are there other benefits to putting on
lotions?

Sunblocking will reduce the chances of skin cancer while
increasing the chances of prostate, breast, and likely numerous
other cancer. Sunblocking lowers vitamin D status and standard
supplementation levels are nearly useless. The standard level
is 400 IU per day where in fact it takes 4000 IU to maintain
summer time physiological levels of a non-sunblocking individual.
If you are willing to take a 4000 IU then I say aggressive
sun block use will be OK; otherwise, the aggressive use
of sunblocking is a health hazard. Low vitamin D status
has been related to osteoporosis (though low vitamin K status
is clearly also a very wide spread problem that is also a
major factor in the development of osteoporosis), type
1 diabetes, autoimmune disorders, hyperparathyroidism
(which relates in ectopic calcification especially in the vitamin
K deficient) and the previously mentioned cancer risks.

The last self confessed nutritionist to post with some regularity
on sci.med.nutrition was a depressed smoker.

I am not suggesting 4000 IU for everyone, rather, I suggesting
it use during the dark cold cloudy months of the year. Or
on the basis of the lack of sun light exposure or sunscreen use.
For year around supplementation in a non-sun blocking person
who goes out in the sun and lives in the north, 1000 to 2000 IU
would likely be adequate. Use D3 not D2.

No.

Any evidence on the issue?

Logic suggests is might work in a similar manner to other moisurising
agents - by supplying moisture and preventing its loss from the
skin by supplying oils that prevent the moisture evaporating.

Avocado advocates appear to claim that chemicals in avocados stimulates
the production of collagen - which helps prevent wrinkles.

There certainly appears to be some biological activity in this area:

I have always been suspicious of sunblock and sunglasses. I guess i
won't put it on my arms or legs. the face is the thing you really want
to protect.
