Borage Seed Oil for Dry/Itchy/Dehydrated/Wrinkled Skin
Borage Seed Oil, also known as Starflower is rich in Omega 6 Essential Fatty Acids (Boarge Oil is the richest source of Gamma Linolenic Acids/GLAs). Borage Oil is very Nourishing and moisturizing Oil which penetrates well but it might leave your skin feeling a bit oily that is the reason why this oil is suitable for people with Dry/Dehydrated, Mature Skin which needs deep moisturization. Its a wonderful remedy for eczema too. Since Borage Oil is a little heavy its usually added at 10%-20% to other Lighter Carrier Oils for best result. It is pale yellow in color and is expensive compared to other Carrier Oils. If you have Dry/Dehydrated/Mature Skin, Borage Oil can do wonders for you. It restores and repairs damaged skin tissues and reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles. I love to use Borage Oil on my face , at least once a week. I don’t mind using it neat because my skin easily drinks it up in winter:)
Boarge Seed Oil for PMS and Menopausal Symptoms
Borage Seed Oil also makes an excellent Oral Supplement for women struggling with PMS and Menopausal Symptoms. It helps alleviate Hot Flashes, Mood Swings and other symptoms of PMS and Menopause. I take a combination of Borage and Evening Primrose Oil and I must admit that it has helped me a lot with my PMS madness.
Borage Seed Oil For Stronger Nails and Healthy Hair
Borage Seed Oil is also good for Nails and Hair. It strengthens and deeply Nourishes Nail and Hair . You can rub some Borage Oil on your nails before going to bed everyday to get stronger nails. Mix it with Olive or Coconut Oil to make an excellent Hair massage oil.
