benefits for your skin
1. treats acne outbreaks
because of the proven antimicrobial properties of grapeseed oil, some people use it to treat acne outbreaks. though research into how this works is lacking, it makes sense that by attacking bacteria that can get deep into your pores and cause breakouts, grapeseed oil can make your skin clearer.
2. makes skin softer and more elastic
grapeseed oil was tested, along with a number of other herbal ingredients that claim to improve your skin’s elasticity and softness. research has shown that the herbal ingredient did improve:
- skin’s moisture
- softness
- ability to bounce back
grapeseed oil helps the vitamin E and vitamin C in your skin to be more efficient and effective at preserving your skin.
3. grapeseed oil evens out skin tone
grapeseed oil contains a powerful antioxidant ingredient called proanthocyanidin. this antioxidant may even out skin tone when it’s used on your skin consistently.
taking grapeseed oil extract orally has been shown to improve the symptoms of melasma (also called chloasma and the “mask of pregnancy”), a hyperpigmentation of the skin.
4. grapeseed oil can protect your skin from sun damage
the powerful antioxidants in grapeseed oil have another benefit. one review describes grapeseed oil as helping to protect your skin from absorbing the full damage of UV rays.
