Benefits of Evening Primrose Oil

Posted: July 18th, 2018

Evening primrose oil is one of the most versatile essential oils on the market. It effectively improves bodily health both internally and externally. It is extremely accessible, being sold by Walmart, Walgreens, CVS, and other widespread retailers.   The oil is derived from the seed of the evening primrose plant, which contains gamma linoleic acid – a fatty acid that has been shown to treat nerve damage, certain types of arthritis, osteoporosis, and various skin issues. Because of these health and beauty benefits, evening primrose oil is widely used for skin care and diet supplementation.  Topical application can be very useful for cosmetic improvement. Evening primrose oil makes skincare more effective, providing a smooth, soft texture. It is therefore very good for fighting wrinkles and preserving a youthful look. And even when afflicted with a skin condition, like eczema or psoriasis, people can benefit from using it.   Perhaps the most widely unknown of evening primrose oil's cosmetic effects is its ability to treat thinning hair. It is capable of preserving ample growth and facilitating the return of hair that has already been lost. Even outside of professional massage therapy at the day spa, evening primrose oil can provide many beauty benefits other than the skin.   Evening primrose oil is also perfect for a massage. Due to its slick texture and sweet odor, the oil is often used in massage therapy, being arguably the most widely applied of the essential oils. Its health and beauty benefits have made it an expected part of a trip to the day spa. Customers have gained greatly from its ability to provide a holistic massage that cares for both the body and the face.
