Safflower oil – Skin and Complexion – 250mls

Description

There are potential benefits of safflower oil for your skin, but scientific research behind such claims isn’t solid. Some anecdotal researchTrusted Source indicates that safflower oil may have pain-relieving effects, as well as anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits.

Safflower oil may also be used topically in certain skin care products and cosmetics due to its moisturizing effects. The oil can give your skin a smoother appearance and make it softer.

Prepared cosmetics containing safflower oil don’t require any special instructions. Simply follow product directions.

Pure, edible versions of safflower oil and safflower body oil may be applied to your skin without any preparation.

Safflower essential oils, on the other hand, must be diluted prior to application. Apply a few drops to a small amount of carrier oil before applying. If you’re looking for extra moisture, try coconut or almond oils. Jojoba and grapeseed oils are better suited carriers for oily skin.

Since safflower oil is considered generally safe for consumer use, it may be safe to use daily. Essential oils are more potent and are designed for short-term use only. Discontinue use if you notice any signs of irritation or reactions, such as rash or hives.

Safflower oil for acne

While it may seem counterproductive to apply oil to acne, safflower oil is found to be noncomedogenic, meaning it won’t clog your pores. Its anti-inflammatory effects may also be potentially helpful in treating pimples and acne spots. It may also help unclog your pores when used a few times per week.

You can use safflower oil as a spot treatment by leaving it on overnight. You can also make a face mask:

1. Combine safflower oil with oatmeal and honey.
2. Apply the mixture to all or part of your face.
3. Rinse with water after 10 minutes.

Safflower  oil for Eczema

Eczema is a common skin condition. The symptoms of eczema are actually inflammatory responses. While severe eczema might require medication, you may also help treat skin patches through diet and topical ointments.

Dietary benefits of safflower oil include helping your body process oil-soluble vitamins, such as vitamins A and E. These antioxidant-rich vitamins are important in keeping your cells in good health.

As a topical moisturizer, the linoleic acid in safflower oil is thought to help maintain the integrity of the outer layer of your skin by preventing flaking.

Apply pure safflower oil directly to your eczema as often as desired. If you’re using diluted essential oil, use only once or twice per day.
