How do you use it?

Using grapeseed oil for your skin can be as simple or as labor-intensive as you’d like.

If you’d prefer, you can heat grapeseed oil slightly by putting some in your palms and rubbing your hands together. Apply a generous amount to your skin as a moisturizing mask.

Mixing grapeseed oil with essential oils, like frankincense or lavender, might make your skin extra soft. Put a few drops of juniper, frankincense, and lavender together in an ounce of grapeseed oil for a mask and leave it on for 10 minutes for a relaxing, spa-like treatment.

You can also purchase grapeseed oil extract in a liquid or capsule form. Taking grapeseed oil orally may improve your skin’s appearance if you take it consistently for a period of several weeks.
