Benefits of Grape Seed Oil

1. Hydrates Skin and Reduces Dryness

Skin dryness is a common problem among both children and adults due to causes including frequent use of hot water, soaps, detergents, and irritants such as perfumes, dyes, etc. These products can remove natural oils from the skin`s surface and cause a disruption in the skin`s water content, leading to dryness and loss in elasticity, as well as itching and sensitivity.

grapeseed oil vs. olive oil for skin dryness - which is better? Both are found in many natural/herbal skin moisturizers because they have similar effects and are well-tolerated by people with various skin types.

The study mentioned above found that both grapeseed and Olive Oil (Oleum olivae/ Olea europaea) products (along with aloe vera, almond, wheatgerm, sandalwood and cucumber products) tend to lead to better viscoelastic and hydration effects as compared to harsher, chemical-containing products.

That being said, some find that grapeseed oil has the same benefits as olive oil but is absorbed better, leaving behind less of a greasy residue. It also has a higher vitamin E content. This means it may be better for those with oily skin or who are acne-prone, since it`s less likely to leave behind a shine or to clog pores.

2. May Help Fight Acne

Some research has shown that grapeseed oil has mild antimicrobial properties, meaning it can help prevent accumulation of bacteria that can lead to clogged pores and acne breakouts. It`s also rich in phenolic compounds, fatty acids and vitamin E that may help heal scars or marks from previous breakouts.

Because it`s not a heavy oil and is appropriate for sensitive skin, it`s even safe to use grapeseed oil on oily skin in small amounts. For even stronger acne-fighting effects, it can be combined with other herbal products and essential oils such as tea tree oil, rose water and witch hazel.

3. Can Help Defend Against Sun Damage

Is Grape Seed Oil good for your face if you`ve developed sun damage? Yes; because it contains a number of antioxidants - such as vitamin E, proanthocyanidin, flavonoids, carotenoids, phenolic acids, tannins and stilbenes - it may have anti-aging and anti-inflammatory effects. Vitamin E, for example, contributes to the beneficial effects of this oil because of its high antioxidant activity and protection of skin cells.

Thanks to its ability to help defend against oxidative stress, applying grapeseed oil can improve your skin`s appearance and reduce minor signs of aging, such as loss of elasticity and dark spots.

While it shouldn`t be used in place of regular sunscreen, there`s some evidence that plant oils like grapeseed oil and coconut oil can offer some protection against UV radiation from the sun.

4. May Help Support Wound Healing

Although most studies researching grapeseed oil`s effects on wound care have been conducted in labs or on animals, there`s some evidence that when topically applied it can help with faster wound healing. One mechanism by which it works is through enhancing synthesis of vascular endothelial growth factor which forms connective tissue.

It also has antimicrobial activity against pathogens that can cause infections in wounds.

5. May Help Improve Hyperpigmentation and Symptoms of Melasma

One small study published in the journal Phytotherapy Research found evidence that grapeseed extract (GSE) taken in pill form could help treat chloasma/melasma, a condition that causes skin hyperpigmentation and is often difficult to treat. The antioxidant proanthocyanidin is believed to contribute to the oil`s skin lightening effects.

6. Can Be Used As a Massage or Carrier Oil

Grapeseed makes a good, inexpensive Massage Oil for all skin types, plus it can be mixed with various essential oils in order to improve its effectiveness.

For example, combining it with Lavender Oil can help to reduce skin redness and inflammation, while mixing it with Eucalyptus Oil and applying to the chest can help reduce congestion.

It`s also possible to use the oil with peppermint, frankincense or Lemon Oil for purposes including to fight acne, tension headaches and joint pain when massaged into the skin.
