WHY GRAPESEED OIL IS BEST
Estheticians use grapeseed oil because it’s light and absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy feeling. Plus, it’s non-comedogenic (it doesn’t clog pores). Grapeseed oil is a favorite carrier oil. It complements the properties of other essential oils. It also mixes well with other natural oils (such as avocado, almond, and jojoba) as a base in skin and hair care products.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN A GRAPESEED OIL
Your skin is your body’s largest and fastest growing organ. When choosing a grapeseed oil, quality and purity count. Processing methods that use heat or chemicals strip the oil of its health value. Be sure to choose 100% all natural, cold pressed oil.
VITAMINS
Grapeseed oil is full of vitamin E. This vitamin works to build, protect, and correct. It assists in the production of collagen and improves skin tone. It helps to fight damage from free-radicals and prevent acne breakouts. Just make sure you’re using cold pressed grapeseed oil for vitamin E to be most potent. Harsh refining and solvent extraction processes can remove vitamin E from the grapeseed oil.
ANTIOXIDANTS
Grape seeds are abundant in Polyphenols and Oligomeric Proanthocyanidins (OPCs) – the most powerful antioxidants found in nature! Polyphenols and OPCs complement the work of vitamins. They protect and detoxify skin from free radicals and clear clogged pores. OPCs repair collagen at a cellular level and stimulate circulation. They act as an anti-inflammatory and improve skin’s strength, firmness, and elasticity.
ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS
Grapeseed oil is rich in essential fatty acid, linoleic acid, an omega-6 fatty acid. Essential fatty acids are the building blocks of healthy cells. They hydrate, moisturize, and soften skin. Linoleic acid protects, strengthens, and heals cell membranes. This correcting and nourishing effect minimizes the appearance of lines, wrinkles, and scars. It restores tired and aging skin to a natural glow. Linoleic acid also assists in the delivery of vitamins and antioxidants.
Grapeseed oil is packed with healthy components. It detoxifies, protects, repairs, and rejuvenates holistically. Did we mention that it’s a favorite massage oil and after bath treatment? It’s all true. Grapeseed oil does wonders for your skin. So let’s get started feeding your skin with all natural plant-based goodness.
