Sunflower oil is extremely high in vitamin E – an antioxidant that helps in preventing premature signs of aging, as it helps protect the skin from exposure to sunlight. Sunflower oil has emollient properties that help the skin retain its moisture. The vitamin E it contains, helps trap moisture inside skin cells, keeping skin hydrated for a longer period.
In addition to vitamin E, sunflower oil is also rich in vitamins A, C, and D, making it effective in the treatment of acne. Sunflower seed oil contains vitamins and fatty acids that act as antioxidants to regenerate new skin cells and help your skin rid itself of acne-causing bacteria.
