Evening Primrose Oil is one of the best sources of Gama linolenic acid, an omega 6 essential fatty acid. This oil works brilliantly on irritated, inflammed skin. It helps to promote helathy skin by nurturing the cell's membranes. It can help to improve the skin's hyrdation and protects skin from environmental stressors. Evening primrose oil is particularly suited to skin suffering from adult onset acne, when you're dealing with dry, dehydrated skin but are breaking out at the same time. It is also excellent for use in hot oil treatments for problem scalps and dry, damaged hair. This oil has also been used in conjunction with Seabuckthorn oil for use to help heal and nourish abused skin after radiation treatments.
