Natural Skin Benefits Of Meadowfoam Seed Oil

An oil with a very peculiar sounding name may just be the next big secret on your quest for perfect skin. Meadowfoam seed oil comes directly from a plant called the Limnanthes alba, which is known for its exceedingly rich antioxidant properties.

Because of these components that are intrinsic to the oil itself, it is a great option to integrate into your skin care regimen. The thing about skin is that it often needs many different benefits all at once. What's so remarkable about this oil is that it provides so many of those aspects in one, lightweight oil. 

Thin And Easily Absorbed

There are certain oils that, despite how good they may be for the skin, aren't a good option simply because they're too thick and greasy. While your skin should always be properly moisturized, the type of moisturizer you choose matters greatly.

This is because something that properly hydrates your skin and is easily absorbed is preferred. Because meadowfoam seed oil is so close to the actual composition of natural sebum, it is quickly absorbed by the skin and won't leave a greasy layer. It makes for a great way to lock in moisture to your skin.

Anti-Aging

Due to its antioxidant properties, this oil is great at warding off the signs of aging. One of the reasons that the skin industry is so expansive and lucrative is because everyone wants to stay as young looking as possible for as long as they can.

The ability for meadowfoam seed oil to penetrate the skin so easily makes it especially beneficial in the fight against wrinkles, sagging skin, age spots and a whole host of other signs of aging. You can use it as a moisturizer after you complete your cleansing routine.

Reduces Stretch Marks

One of the biggest complaints that women have about their changing bodies over the years is the stretch marks that they incur. This is incredibly tough as the elasticity in our skin often fails us. While stretch marks aren't something we should be ashamed of, there are natural ways to mitigate their appearance.

The use of meadowfoam can help to treat and fade stretch marks. Try mixing a few drops of meadowfoam with some lavender or frankincense and apply it liberally to your stretch marks. After a couple of weeks of consistent use, you'll start to notice your stretch marks will begin to fade.

Massage Oil

Due to its thin and absorbing quality, meadowfoam oil is good to use as a massage oil. Getting a massage, whether from your partner or a professional, will do a lot in improving your mood, stress levels and muscle dexterity. This oil is one of the ones that you can easily use instead of spending money on an expensive massage oil.

A couple of drops of this oil is all you need to massage a large part of the body. It's also great because it won't leave any residue once the massage is over.
