3. Skin Care
Sesame contains vitamins, fatty acids, and antioxidants that dramatically improve skin health. The fatty acids palmitic, stearic, linoleic, and oleic acid keep your skin soft and supple. Applying sesame oil to your skin reduces the signs of aging such as wrinkles and fine lines.
Vitamins A and E increase the elasticity of the skin and promote the production of collagen. The protein; collagen, is essential in maintaining healthy skin, which is why it’s a primary ingredient in almost every cosmetic skincare product.
The potent polyphenol antioxidant; sesamol, eliminates free-radicals responsible for creating skin cell death that leads to the development of premature wrinkles and lines. Sesame oil also contains anti-fungal, antibacterial and antimicrobial properties.
Massaging a few drops of sesame oil into your face in the morning will protect your skin from environmental toxins. If you suffer from acne or blackhead development, the oil alleviates these skin health issues leaving your skin clear, bright, and clean.
