Evening Primrose oil is probably the most perfect skin care oil being nourishing, softening and soothing. With a very light and pleasant aroma, evening primrose oil is most often used in skin care preparations and massage oil blends and is especially beneficial for dry, aging, scaly/flaking or dull and tired skin.
A must have for skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, dermatitis, acne rosacea, flaky skin and dandruff, forming an ultra thin protective layer of oil on your skin to soothe and reduce inflammation.
If you are using evening primrose oil as a carrier oil, it is best used as a 10% dilution in another carrier oil e.g. sweet almond oil, jojoba oil or coconut oil.
Evening primrose oil is unsaturated and extremely rich in fatty acids, especially gamma linolenic acid (GLA). GLA is an essential fatty acid that the body uses to manufacture hormone-like substances called prostaglandins, which are necessary for;
- the healthy functioning of body tissues,
- combating pain and inflammation,
- regulating the menstrual cycle
- balancing the blood
- controlling cholesterol levels
- supporting the immune system and brain.
