Features of application for the face

The main ways of using wheat germ oil in cosmetology for facial care.

Due to the fact that the oil obtained from wheat germ is very dense in structure, its use for cosmetic purposes in its pure form is not desirable due to its relative "severity". Its main use is by mixing it with other, lighter vegetable base oils.

Of course, it is possible to use wheat germ oil in its pure form, not diluted with other substances, but it is recommended only on small areas of the skin of the face, pointwise. For example, a small amount of it can be used to lubricate areas of the skin that are most prone to flaking, or rough areas. You can also apply wheat germ oil to the most problematic areas - inflammation, irritation, all kinds of itching, acne, abscesses, burns, wounds, and so on.

It is quite acceptable to use pure wheat germ oil on wrinkles on the face, for example, in the forehead, corners of the eyes. But for use on the skin under the eyes, the oil is not entirely suitable due to its severity, because the skin around the eyes is especially thin. For this application, it is recommended to dilute it in a ratio of one to three with rosehip oil or any other essential oil. A similar mixture can be used daily to treat the eyelids.

Effective folk masks

With the help of wheat germ oil, you can make a variety of masks and various applications.
