Apricot Kernel Oil
Although an apricot's kernel is unremarkable, the oil extracted from the 15mm seed is anything but. The magnitude of fatty acids, polyphenols, and essential fatty acids in the oil are why this oil holds the secret to enduring youth.
The Elixir of Youth that is Apricot Kernel Oil
Describe youthful skin, and you would be describing the benefits unleashed through apricot kernel oil. A radiant complexion, supple, smooth, and firmer skin are all made possible through the fusion of vitamins E and C in addition to the fatty acid content bioavailable in the oil. When applied topically, these elements get to work to rejuvenate your skin; dramatically:
Moisturizing Skin
Part of the skin's function is the ability to hydrate itself. However, since the skin doesn't have a way to retain moisture, it appears dry and rough. Apricot kernel oil solves this problem by creating a seal between the skin's natural hydration and external elements that strip the skin of moisture.
Instead of being greasy and creating a film on the skin's surface, the oil penetrates the outermost layer of the skin, reinforcing and strengthening the skin's surface. The result is skin that feels more supple.
Improving Skin’s Radiance
We all want a youthful glow, but the term is challenging to measure. What is a youthful glow, and how can it be acquired as you age? The answer is simple: a youthful glow is defined by a blemish-free, bright complexion.
The vitamin E in apricot kernel oil is responsible for maintaining the skin's clarity. The oil reverses the damage to cells caused by free radicals while firming the skin and minimizing unflattering blemishes. Then the concentrated levels of vitamin C in the oil brighten dull complexions, revealing a more youthful appearance.
Reducing the Appearance of Wrinkles
You can attribute the cause of wrinkles and fine lines to several factors – UV damage, dietary factors, inflammation, and aging – however, the way each of these factors contributes to the formation of wrinkles and fine lines is the same. Wrinkles and fine lines are the results of diminishing collagen and elastin production.
After 25, the skin reduces the production of collagen and elastin. Then extrinsic factors prevent nutrients from reaching collagen and elastin forming cells, inhibiting the remaining function of elastin and collagen.
The collaborative work of vitamin C and E in apricot kernel oil combat the damage caused by extrinsic factors. This vitamin combo is also responsible for supplying components (vitamin C) that your skin needs to generate collagen and elastin. Now that your skin can produce more collagen and elastin because the vitamin C and E support it, your skin begins to firm, and fine lines and wrinkles dissipate. Whoever said time travel doesn't exist had not discovered the powerful benefits of apricot kernel oil. By using this lightweight golden liquid, you effectively reverse aging and reinvigorate youth.
