Product Description
Many of grapeseed oil's beauty benefits may be due to its vitamin E and omega-6 fatty acid content. Free radicals and environmental factors such as sun, wind, and pollution can do a number on your skin. They may increase the signs of aging and cause dry skin and discoloration.
Vitamin E helps battles free radicals, so it may help improve your skin when consumed in your diet. The same benefits may apply when it's applied directly to your skin in the form of grapeseed oil.
According to the Linus Pauling Institude, omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids are crucial to skin function and appearance. And omega-6 fatty acids are necessary for skin barrier functioning. The main omega-6 in grapeseed oil is linolenic acid. This fatty acid may help reduce inflammation in the skin's middle and outer layers.
Other reasons grapeseed oil is used are to:
1. Moisturize skin
2. Heal acne
3. Lighten skin
4. Tighten pores
5. Reduce the appearance of scars
6. Remove makeup
Grapeseed oil penetrates your skin quickly and doesn't leave your skin feeling oily. To use grapeseed oil on your face, massage several drops into clean skin before you go to bed at night. You can repeat the process in the morning, if desired. Since grapeseed oil doesn't clog pores, it's ideal for all skin types, including oily skin that needs moisturizing.
