Evening Primrose Oil


A sultry little oil with its golden color and fresh smell, it's no wonder evening primrose oil is a top choice in my skin care. Facial oils are known to be the most moisturizing. After washing my face before I go to bed, I use this oil as a night treatment. I have very oily and acne prone skin with rosacea. Yes I know, the "Did your face get sunburned?" or "Every time I see you, your face is always red. Do you have a crush on me...? Grr... This is dumb. Evening primrose oil is known to help those with acne and rosacea. Though it doesn't permanently remove my rosacea, it controls it, leaving it to a light pink instead of red. It definitely does not clog my pores, in fact, it treats my acne very well, leaving the next day with smaller acne. It doesn't do anything to control oils, though. It's also known to help signs of aging, which is doing an incredible job on me. I'm only 18, but when I get to be 30, I'll have good skin. I already get complements on how good my skin looks. Shelf life isn't long, only six months. You must refrigerate this oil, or it will lose more shelf life. It is stored in an amber glass bottle for a reason: this particular oil is light sensitive and the glass container keeps the oil chill in the fridge. It's available in a 4oz. amber glass bottle for $5 at www.mountainroseherbs.com and it's certified organic, so you know you're spreading something truly nourishing instead of chemicals names you can't pronounce. Xylophonemetaculiat... What?Next time you see your friends, they'll wonder what you did to yourself...
