Baobab oil and its repairing effects on the epidermis

Dry skin, wrinkles, wounds, stretch marks, redness: cold-pressed baobab oil makes it possible to treat various skin problems. To soften dry skin or promote the healing of a wound, or again moisturize a part of the body affected by stretch marks, it is an excellent solution.

This plant substance notably has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, regenerating and moisturizing properties.

Dry skin

Using baobab oil on dry skin makes it possible to renew it and thus soothe it. Thanks to its content of essential fatty acids, it plays a major role in skin slackening in order to give the skin back its elasticity.

As a result, using it on dry parts of the human body promotes, over time, a regeneration of the hydrolipidic film. This process generally results in supple, soft skin.

In the present case, the essential baobab extract is used as a massage – with other products, synthetic or not – or in a hot bath.

Les rides

An essential anti-aging care oil, baobab oil is interesting for preventing fine lines. It is made up of polyphenols and flavonoids, two groups of compounds known for their antioxidant richness. These make it possible to prevent wrinkles and thus slow down the aging of the skin.

This happens with the help of vitamins E and C. These are respectively useful in strengthening the renewal of skin cells and increasing the production of collagen.

To that end, it can be used morning and evening as a massage on the wrinkled areas. However, it is possible to use it as a complement to other essential oils, such as rose geranium or fine lavender, in order to increase its effectiveness.

Skin wounds

Are you worried about a wound that is slow to heal? Know that baobab vegetable oil holds more than 70% unsaturated acids, essential in skin regeneration. Using it in case of a wound therefore makes possible a faster, more effective healing.

Here again, its richness in polyphenols (natural antioxidants) is much called upon in protecting the skin against free radicals. This of course takes part in speeding up the healing of wounds.

Its way of use is very simple: one drop applied to the affected part morning and evening until satisfied. To this action can be added a light massage of the edges in case the wound has caused inflammation.

Redness of the face and of the skin in general

Thanks to its anti-inflammatory and non-comedogenic properties, baobab oil is an excellent product for preventing or treating redness of the human body. Its use proves therapeutic in case of skin diseases such as:

Rosacea;
Couperose;
Acne;
Psoriasis;
Eczema, etc.

Indeed, its painkilling compounds play an essential role in blocking the formation of prostaglandins, which are known to be responsible for the inflammation behind most of the diseases mentioned.

Here, it can be used both by local application and sublingually.

Les vergetures

Whether to prevent the appearance of stretch marks or to relieve them, baobab oil has beneficial effects. Its components, mainly the unsaturated fatty acids, make it possible to nourish the epidermis.

Using a few drops of it every day on the belly, the arm or the thighs is an interesting step for giving the skin back its suppleness. Furthermore, baobab oil can be combined with other oils to be more useful, especially when using it is part of a treatment for stretch marks.

Good to know: in cooking, baobab oil is used only in particular circumstances. It can of course be combined with other vegetable oils – ideally those containing omega-3 –, including coconut oil.
