Grapeseed oil is an edible oil extracted from the seeds of grapes that are left behind after winemaking. It is a vegetable oil that has a number of edible applications. However, it can also be used in skincare and hair care. Find out if grapeseed oil’s benefits will help your skin concerns and get the perfect product tailor-made for you by taking our skin quiz!
Grapeseed oil is great for reducing acne, lightening acne scars, moisturizing your skin, minimizing fine lines and wrinkles, and evening skin tone. It also protects your skin against free radicals, and has antimicrobial properties. Unlike heavy oils, it is absorbed relatively easily by your skin.
One of the drawbacks of this ingredient is that it will eventually go bad. Oxidation will occur, which turns the oil rancid and unfit for use. Another risk factor is that some people are allergic to grapeseed oil. Always do a spot test on a small part of your skin before using a new product.
Fine lines are the delicate lines that form on delicate skin (like the face), as collagen and elastin decrease. These shallow lines can appear when the skin is dehydrated or as a result of sun damage. They can also be among the first signs of skin aging and, if they deepen over time, can be the precursor to wrinkles. Usually found around the eyes, lips, and forehead, fine lines can appear anywhere that expressive facial movement are regularly repeated—such as smiling, squinting and furrowing the brows.
To prevent fine lines and wrinkles, it’s best to moisturize daily and wear sunscreen. Additionally, antioxidants protect the skin from free radicals that damage cells and speed up aging. Ingredients and nutrients like rosehip oil, jojoba oil, red tea extract, retinol/vitamin A, coenzyme Q10, glycolic acid and salicylic acid are all beneficial for preventing and reducing fine lines and wrinkles. Peptides and ingredients that boost the production of collagen like vitamin C are good for boosting the plumpness of skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Grapeseed oil may be effective for fine lines, but there are many other factors that may affect whether this ingredient would work on your skin or if there are better ingredients that may work for you. Take this skin quiz to find the best ingredients for your skin and build your skincare routine.
