Walnut face oil

Walnut oil has valuable ingredients for your facial skin. It primarily contains flavonoids, better known as C-complexes. Flavonoids contained in phenolic antioxidants eliminate the causes of free radicals and demotivate oxidative metabolism, the biggest problem of every person. Also, flavonoids have an antithrombotic effect at the level of capillaries and veins and stimulate microcapillaries under the dermis to perform the function of regeneration without interruption. The antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties of flavonoids eliminate inflammation and eczema processes on the skin of the face.

But walnut oil, in addition to flavonoids, also contains extremely important ingredients such as alpha-linolenic acid and oleic acid, which are increasingly used in cosmetics. Their combination with the already mentioned flavonoids is masterful, as they complement and support each other. Alpha-linolenic acid reduces the presence of acne by penetrating deep below the dermis, and the anti-inflammatory function deeply soothes subcutaneous inflammation. It then brightens the skin, while, on the other hand, oleic acid maintains and regulates the moisture level on the surface of the skin, giving it softness and flexibility. By lowering capillary blood pressure it removes red spots on your face, capillaries. Applying walnut oil on the face also reduces the signs of aging. Apply it on the skin of the face, especially around the wrinkles, and massage with light and circular movements. It is extremely useful for wrinkles around the eyes where the skin is extremely thin and prone to fine lines.

Free radicals become a thing of the past for your skin after long-term use of walnut oil. If you apply it regularly on the skin, many and very important antioxidant compounds will be stored in the layer of fat under the skin. There they retain antioxidant effects that help you in the long run. The saprophytic flora of your face after walnut oil will be fully regulated.

Fungal infections are a thing of the past, and candidiasis is permanently receding. Problems associated with oily skin disappear. Walnut oil with all its ingredients also regulates the level of sebum on the surface of the skin, so it is a common ingredient in natural creams. What is extremely important is that walnut oil is compatible with other medicinal plants. When it is of organic origin and when prepared according to a well-studied recipe, walnut oil becomes the basic ingredient that supports and accelerates the effects of the ingredients that are added to its composition. That's why natural organic cosmetics first turned to him. This is the reason for its inevitable presence in serums for oily skin and serums for combination skin.

These are the main properties of walnut oil that make it so special for the face: antibacterial, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory.

• Antioxidants reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines on the skin by slowing down aging. Antioxidants prevent the formation and repair of already damaged cells and tissues. They work by slowing down and preventing the action of free radicals that cause oxidation - the process that causes damage. Free radicals are constantly created in the body as products of metabolism, so it is necessary to constantly replenish the supply of antioxidants because they block the influence of free radicals and are therefore considered anti-aging ingredients.
• The antibacterial component protects the skin from pathogens that constantly bombard the largest and most exposed human organ.
• Finally, the anti-inflammatory nature of walnut oil has a soothing effect on the skin whether it is the usual inflammatory processes in the form of pimples or chronic problems such as eczema and psoriasis.
• The vitamins B1, B2 and B3 that walnut oil contains protect the skin from premature aging. It is also rich in vitamin E which is a highly effective antioxidant. Vitamin E actually speeds up the action of vitamin B and makes our skin firmer and younger. Walnut is rich in selenium, phosphorus, magnesium, zinc, iron and calcium. These minerals are very important for regulating the secretion of hormones in the human body. Which means you can drink quality walnut oil to balance your hormones. Good hormonal balance is the first condition for radiant skin.

This oil has a particularly good effect on the thyroid gland.

• Unsaturated fatty acids from walnut oil hydrate the skin, so we recommend it especially if your face is dry. Massage the skin of the face with special emphasis on the part affected by wrinkles. Go to bed leaving the oil to act overnight. This oil is not greasy, it is quickly absorbed and dries and will not clog your pores.
