Grapeseed oil perfectly copes with the problems of aging skin and wrinkles. It is great for the face and sensitive eye area. With regular use of grape oil, the skin looks tightened, moisturized, well-groomed and more youthful.

Grapeseed oil is a real treasure! It is impossible to find such a quantity of vitamins, antioxidants and unsaturated fatty acids among nature-created beauty products.

Almost any expensive and high-quality cream for preventing skin aging contains this component. After all, it is grape oil that can easily cope with wrinkles on the face, thanks to the increased content of such an antioxidant as procyanide.

Composition and benefits of grape oil

Grapeseed oil is made from pre-dried grape seeds by either cold or hot pressing. But it is the oil obtained after cold pressing that is best suited for the fight against wrinkles, because it contains the greatest concentration of useful substances, unlike oil obtained by the hot method.

To obtain one kilogram of cold-pressed grape oil, fifty kilograms of the seeds themselves or about five hundred kilograms of grapes are required for processing, so this oil and cosmetics based on it are very expensive. Hot pressing produces slightly more valuable liquid, but with this method a lot of useful substances that grape oil is rich in are lost.

Due to its composition, it is used as food. It has a beneficial effect on the immune system and increases resistance to external adverse factors. Doctors also recommend adding grape oil to food: pregnant and lactating women; for the treatment and prevention of diseases of the heart and the entire vascular system, gastrointestinal tract, liver, genitourinary system and treatment of the skin. The oil can also restore hair after using modern styling products, coloring and the harmful effects of water and shampoos, returning it to its natural beauty, smoothness and shine.

Grape seed oil is very beneficial for the skin of the face and eyelids, because it contains all the necessary substances to maintain beauty:

1. Beauty vitamins: Vitamin A – normalizes the functioning of the skin, helping to get rid of all skin diseases; B vitamins – normalizes muscle contractions, preventing the appearance of wrinkles; vitamin C – fights pigment spots, has an anti-inflammatory and wound-healing effect, slows down skin aging; Vitamin E – normalizes the functioning of the sebaceous glands, eliminates flaking, helps heal wounds and smooth out scars and wrinkles; Vitamin PP (nicotinic acid) – promotes cleansing, regeneration, moisturizing, reducing swelling, and also has an excellent lifting effect.
2. High content of macro- and microelements such as iron, potassium. calcium, sodium and many others.
3. Rich in linoleic acid (Omega-6) and oleic acid (Omega-9). Together they remove toxins, improve the appearance of the skin, normalize the functioning of blood vessels,
4. Also grape oil contains procyanide and rosveratrol – you can’t find them in more than one cosmetic oil. They help improve the absorption of vitamins C and E by the skin, remove toxins, normalize metabolism, significantly reduce the activity of free radicals, strengthen blood vessels, have an antiviral effect, and restore the nervous system.

Due to the incredibly light structure of an oil, it quickly penetrates deep into the skin without leaving the effect of oily skin. Thanks to this feature, grape seed oil can be safely used by owners of any skin type. However, it is especially useful for oily skin, because it is the skin that suffers from inflammation, needs to restore and regulate the functioning of the sebaceous glands, and tighten enlarged pores without clogging them or contributing to the development of a rash.

Thanks to the constant use of this oil, oily skin will become matte, velvety and pleasant to the touch, and active hydration and tightening will also be noticeable.

Grapeseed oil nourishes, softens, tones, moisturizes and regenerates the skin, as mentioned earlier, and if used constantly, the skin will actually bloom and take on a vigorous and well-groomed appearance.

In addition, regular use of oil helps the functioning of cells that are responsible for the production of elastin and collagen (substances that prevent the skin from aging). It also wonderfully exfoliates dead skin, soothes it, relieving inflammation and promotes rapid healing of wounds.

Thanks to its pronounced antioxidant properties, grape oil is actively used in the fight against the main signs of skin aging. It can not only completely smooth out small and facial wrinkles, but also significantly smooth out deep muscle creases in the face.
