The other day I talked about the health benefits of Moringa tea and how you can easily prepare it. Without much doubt, Moringa has a lot to
offer. Lets quickly look at Moringa oil benefits for skin, and its preparation.
Moringa oil is found in numerous cosmetics due to
moisturizing, cleansing and emollient properties. It’s used in shampoos and
conditioners and other hair care products, lotions, body oils, lip balms,
anti-aging and wrinkle creams, face creams, soaps and body wash, perfume and
deodorants. It’s used for aromatherapy and massage oils because it blends well
with essential oils and is a good carrier oil.
Moringa oil absorbs easily into the skin, improving the
appearance and radiance of skin. It has skin healthy nutrients like vitamin A,
which helps build collagen in the skin, vitamin C to help reduce fine lines and
wrinkles, and the healing and anti-inflammatory benefits of vitamin E.
Help for dry skin
- It softens dry skin and maintains moisture in the skin.
- It is good for conditioning dry, chapped lips.
- It’s beneficial to treat rough, dry skin conditions like dermatitis, eczema and psoriasis.
·
Moringa oil helps improve the
appearance of wrinkles and prevents sagging of facial muscles.
·
Plant hormones called cytokinins,
which help promote cell growth and delay damage and destruction of skin
tissues.
·
Vitamin
C stabilizes collagen and helps reduce fine lines and repair damaged skin
cells.
Acne & dark spot prevention
- Moringa oil helps clear blackheads and pimples. When used regularly helps prevent the reoccurrence of blemishes.
- Helps minimize dark spots from acne and hyperpigmentation.
