Flax seed oil is better known as Linseed oil and has been known throughout history for its use on problem skin. The ancient Romans and Egyptians were very familiar with its soothing and softening effects on the skin. In Ayurveda it is known as Alasi and used for its sensuous calming caress on damaged and blemished skin. This oil is rich in essential fatty acids (linoleic, linolenic) that replenish and restore tired, dull and weary skin, where it can be used alone or in masks or by embrocation to help to leave it feeling soft and supple. Add a spoonful to the bath water to give your skin a protective veil of silky smoothness. Flax Seed Oil can also be consumed orally, 1 tablespoon daily for general wellness.
