Grape seed oil – a miracle for your beauty
Grape seed oil is a less used ingredient in household consumption, mainly due to the fact that the benefits of this superfood are less publicized.
Regular consumption of grape seed oil significantly contributes to increasing immunity, lowering or maintaining an optimal level of cholesterol, prevents the formation of varicose veins and the list goes on.
It can be consumed for seasoning salads, the main advantage being that it does not change the taste of food. However, heat treatment at over 200 degrees Celsius leads to a decrease in its thermal properties.
Be careful though! If you have decided to try grape seed oil in food preparation, make sure that the product is properly labeled for food use.
If you are still reluctant to consume it in terms of taste, we suggest you start by introducing this wonderful ingredient in your care routine.
- Applied on the skin, 30 minutes before makeup or in the evening before bed, it is effective for treating acne, improving skin elasticity, softening the skin, cleansing the skin and removing unsightly spots on the skin. Moreover, you will notice that after just a few uses, your dark circles will fade.
- Apply periodically to dry hair for at least 30 minutes before washing it with about a tablespoon of this oil and you will solve the problems of damaged, dull, dehydrated or burnt hair. You can also use it as a hair oil, applying 1-2 drops on the tips before leaving the house.
- You will have amazing results if you replace your body lotion with grape seed oil (at least occasionally). We also suggest combining it in a home-made scrub: 3-4 tablespoons of coffee mixed with 1 tablespoon of grape seed oil, 2-3 tablespoons of coconut oil, a few drops of hot pepper oil and any other type of essential oil that you like (oranges, lavender, mint, etc.). Apply the mixture obtained on the skin, massage circularly, rinse and the effect will be instant.
- Applied on the nails and left to act for about 30 minutes, it offers excellent results for strengthening the nails and removing unsightly stains from them.
And one more thing! Grape seed oil is available to anyone because it is quite cheap (somewhere at 15-20 lei a 50 ml bottle) and can be found almost everywhere (pharmacies, health food stores or care products, even in some supermarkets in the organic products district).
