What are the properties of linseed oil? Application for hair, skin and face

The properties and nutrient richness of flaxseed oil make it a staple in home spas. Why should you place it in the bathroom?

Flaxseed oil is a fat that is cold-pressed from flaxseeds, called flaxseed. Due to its very high content of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, it is very popular in the kitchen; They are an important component of the diet, supporting, among other things, the functioning of the heart and circulatory system, or increasing the production of "good" cholesterol and reducing the production of "bad".

However, its application does not end there; linseed oil is often used in cosmetics. Part of the omega-3 fatty acids, alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), among other things, reduces inflammation of the skin - both of this face and the rest of the body or head. The richness of vitamins is also of great importance: B vitamins support hair growth, and vitamin E neutralizes the action of free radicals, thereby slowing down the aging process, nourishing and lubricating.

Linseed oil for hair - how does it work? 

Hair oil is one of the most popular home hair treatments. Nothing unusual; allows you to nourish them naturally and control unruly frizzy strands with light weighting. How is the effect of flaxseed oil on hair different from other fats?

First, it seals the hair cuticles to prevent tangling, breakage and breakage. At the same time, the hairstyle becomes noticeably healthier; smooth and shiny. You don't have to worry about oily hair due to the application of oil (of course, if you apply it in the right amount, i.e. rub a few drops in your hands, for example, from NaturOil). They will only be slightly weighted.

Flaxseed oil applied to the scalp stops excessive sebum secretion. So it is anti-fat fat. Especially recommended for hair with high porosity - damaged, split ends, frizzy, frizzy and unruly. Very well moisturizes and restores such hair.

Flaxseed oil for face - how does it work? 

Flaxseed oil can be applied both to the entire skin of the face, neck and décolleté, and pointwise, for example, to areas with wrinkles. Vitamin E contained in it is not in vain called the “vitamin of youth”. As a powerful antioxidant (antioxidant), it repairs the damage caused by free radicals and protects the skin from them. As a result, it reduces the appearance of wrinkles and soothes skin irritations. In addition, it deeply hydrates it.

Flaxseed oil is recommended for both dry and oily, acne-prone skin: in the latter case, thanks to its hydration, it will prevent further excessive sebum secretion (which causes skin rehydration). On the market, you can find, among other things, linseed oil in the form of a cosmetic product - with a convenient pipette for easy application. This, for example, Etja oil, which can be applied both on the skin of the face and on the whole body - or on the hair. In the case of skin, just add one drop to a night cream used every day, rub directly into the skin before going to bed, or add a drop to a hydrolat.

Flaxseed oil for body skin - how does it work? 

Flaxseed oil, applied to the skin of the whole body - legs, feet, arms or buttocks, is of particular importance in the treatment of dryness and ailments such as psoriasis or atopic dermatitis. The most important here are the moisturizing and anti-inflammatory properties of flaxseed oil. One of the reasons for the above skin problems is the too low amount of unsaturated fatty acids in the diet, which can be provided by flaxseed. Therefore, it is worth both applying oil directly to the skin of the body, and adding flaxseed to cocktails or desserts, or instead of eggs for breading; it is enough to mix a teaspoon of freshly ground flax with 3 teaspoons of water and let it swell. What's more, the aforementioned alpha-linolenic acid can also help people who struggle with the problem of overproduction of sebum and skin luster in various areas of the body. The number of pimples that occur will decrease, as will the amount of sweating. As with your face and hair, you can apply the oil directly to your skin or add a drop to your lotion. It is also worth using during a massage (for example, anti-cellulite or relaxation massage), choosing, for example, Alkemilla brand organic oil.

Therefore, the use and properties of linseed oil are very wide; Definitely worth trying its capabilities not only in the kitchen, but also in the bathroom. Find out what it can do for your skin and hair! See also our offer of all natural cosmetics.
