Grape seed oil: reviews of those who used it in skin care
Very much depends on the manufacturer. Cosmetic grape seed oil, especially when it comes to a cold-pressed product, is a rather expensive commodity. Sometimes a product labeled "100%" has a strong grapey aroma, suggestive of artificial fragrances. Therefore, it is not surprising that reviews about it can be controversial.
In general, you can find a lot of rave reviews from owners of dry skin. Facial masks (grape seed oil plus chamomile and orange oil) perfectly soften dry, tight skin, making it supple and vibrant. The combination and sensitive types also take grape seed oil well. Reviews paint a very attractive picture: a simple wipe of the facea cotton pad with a few drops of oil at night allows you to make the skin more tender, supple from the first time. Its regular use according to this scheme smoothes fine wrinkles, reduces black spots and rashes. Owners of oily skin are also satisfied: the oil cleanses the face, slightly whitens, tightens pores, and allows you to achieve a smooth and matte effect. But, of course, only with its regular use.
Sometimes there are reviews that the oil clogged the pores and caused the appearance of small acne. This may be an individual reaction, but, most likely, the matter is in the incorrect use of the product or in the fact that the product is of poor quality. An important point: you need to choose the right grape seed oil for the skin! It should be cosmetic, not food, and preferably extracted by cold pressing, because this is the only way to preserve its properties. In addition, the skin should be clean and well hydrated before application (for example, with mineral water or green tea), perhaps steamed. Good cleansing is also important for the area around the eyes. Although there are recommendations that wet skin absorbs this oil very poorly, and it is better to apply it only on dry skin.
