Pumpkin oil for facial skin - the best mask recipes

Porridge from childhood and delicious seeds are not a complete list of benefits that an ordinary pumpkin can give us. The pulp of the fruit and the oil from its seeds are widely used in folk medicine to treat stomach ulcers, gastritis, gallbladder diseases, fibrocystic mastopathy, and eliminate intestinal problems. Pumpkin oil has a beneficial effect on skin, hair and nails, so it is no wonder that it has found application in cosmetology.

The role of pumpkin oil in cosmetology

Pumpkin seed oil consists of more than 80% unsaturated fatty acids, including linoleic (Omega-6) and linolenic (Omega-9) acids, which are so necessary for the human body. In addition, it contains carotenoids, phospholipids, vitamins A, E, F, C, P, PP, B vitamins, rare vitamins T and K, as well as 53 macro- and microelements, which is a lot for edible oils.

Pumpkin oil is a real multivitamin complex that helps prolong youth and beauty for a long time. Being a natural antioxidant (thanks to vitamins E, C, A, F, carotenoids and selenium), the elixir:

• reduces the rate of external biological aging of the body;
• reduces the damaging effect of oxidative processes occurring in the structure of the hair shaft, thereby stopping hair fragility, restoring its shine, preventing tangling;
• increases color durability of dyed hair;
• protects skin and hair from exposure to ultraviolet radiation and air pollutants.

The advantage of pumpkin oil is that it can be used not only externally, but also internally, which enhances the effect of its use. It is added to salads and sprinkled on prepared dishes. The main rule is that the oil should not be heated.

Properties and composition

Unrefined pumpkin oil for the face is extracted from the seeds by cold pressing and does not contain any harmful elements; it is a completely natural and extremely healthy product.
It contains a lot of vitamins A and E, which are necessary for youthful facial skin. There are also polyunsaturated fatty acids, selenium, zinc, rutin, nicotinic acid, and other components that any cosmetologist recognizes as irreplaceable. Beneficial features:

1. Nicotinic acid causes blood to circulate more actively, as a result of which skin cells are better supplied with nutrients and oxygen.
2. Rutin helps fight rashes and blackheads.
3. Selenium slows down the aging process and increases skin resistance to adverse external conditions.
4. Zinc oxide absorbs and reflects ultraviolet radiation, helping to resist the damaging effects of sunlight.

Indications:

• increased skin sensitivity;
• tendency to inflammation and irritation;
• the first signs of withering, fine wrinkles;
• chapping, peeling, rough skin.

Contraindications – individual intolerance.

Pumpkin oil for skin in general

The natural product perfectly nourishes and moisturizes the skin. Use it regularly to soften problem areas such as heels, elbows, and knees.

Various bruises and burns on the skin will heal faster if you lubricate them with pumpkin oil several times a day.

A natural elixir can replace sunscreen and protect the skin from possible sunburn and unwanted pigmentation on the face and body.

Selenium, which is part of pumpkin oil, helps eliminate irritation, including after shaving, moisturizes and soothes the skin.

Flavonoids, vitamins E or C strengthen blood vessels, preventing the formation of spider veins and bruises on the skin.

In addition, the product is also used for body massage. For the massage mixture, take 20 ml of pumpkin seed oil and 5 drops of your preferred essential oil.

In addition, the natural elixir will help in the treatment of:

• diathesis,
• psoriasis,
• eczema,
• rosacea,
• urticaria and other skin diseases.

Efficiency and result

Pumpkin oil simply cannot be ineffective, because it contains many substances that are beneficial and necessary for the skin. For example, retinol (vitamin A), a wonderful antioxidant that is used in professional creams to maintain skin elasticity and slow down the aging process. It contains tocopherol (vitamin E), which also has a rejuvenating effect, and ascorbic acid, which stimulates collagen production.

The results after using the product are wonderful. The skin is noticeably rejuvenated, all minor damage heals, the tone is evened out, and the complexion becomes better.

All my clients who tried pumpkin oil themselves left good reviews about this product. Those with dry skin prone to flaking speak especially enthusiastically about the product. All unpleasant effects disappear for them. If you use masks regularly, your face becomes moisturized and rough areas soften. Many also note that age spots fade and disappear.

Pumpkin oil for face

Pumpkin oil contains a huge amount of vitamins, minerals and organic acids. Due to this, pumpkin seed oil has a beneficial effect on facial skin. It:

• deeply nourishes and moisturizes the skin;
• eliminates existing inflammations and prevents the appearance of new ones;
• rejuvenates, eliminating fine wrinkles;
• increases skin turgor;
• tightens the oval of the face;
• fights flaking and dryness;
• Helps lighten pigmentation.

Like refined grape seed oil, pumpkin elixir can also be used as a makeup remover. It perfectly cleanses the skin of cosmetics and sebaceous plugs.

It is important to remember that before using pumpkin oil in facial cosmetology, as well as any product on the skin, you should check whether there is an allergic reaction to it.

The use of pumpkin seed oil in various masks will restore elasticity, healthy appearance and radiance to the skin.

Pumpkin oil for hair

Pumpkin seed oil has a beneficial effect not only on the skin of the face, but also on the scalp and hair as well. Regular and correct use of this natural product can improve the condition of your hair and even stop hair loss (although burdock oil, of course, helps best for hair growth).

This product can work wonders on your hair. The main thing in using pumpkin oil for hair is regularity and consistency.

The best beauty recipes for the face

The process of transforming and restoring health and youthful skin with pumpkin seed oil can be carried out in several directions.

A few drops of pumpkin oil added to a skin care cream, serum or mask enhances the effectiveness of the product and allows you to achieve a more pronounced effect.

Have you noticed that the number of people who prefer to use natural products in nutrition, cosmetology, etc. is growing every day ? This is what I would like to talk about cosmetology.

The fact is that more than once I have come across products from well-known and popular companies, to put it mildly, not of very high quality. How many conversations can you hear about how, after using hair strengthening products, your hair began to fall out even more ? I'm not even talking about allergic reactions to facial care products.

That is why people have increasingly begun to think about natural products that can be used for beauty at home. I recently wrote about how to make homemade shampoo, but judging by the reviews, you don’t really like using eggs (although the issue is debatable). Today I want to introduce you to a miraculous skin and hair care product - pumpkin oil.
