If you want to keep your skin healthy and protect it against free radicals, reach for cold-pressed evening primrose oil with vitamins A and E. An excess of free radicals leads to oxidative stress, which plays a key role in the ageing process, causing the skin to lose its youthful appearance and wrinkles to form.
Evening primrose is a plant native to North and South America, also growing in Europe and Asia. Traditionally, Native Americans used it to soothe bruises and skin inflammations. Today, evening primrose oil is valued as a dietary ingredient supporting the health of the skin and mucous membranes. Its beneficial effects come from a high content of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), which supports proper hydration, firmness, elasticity, smoothness and resilience of the skin. As part of ceramides, GLA strengthens the skin’s protective barrier and improves circulation, helping to reduce inflammation.
Vitamin A contributes to a healthy appearance of the skin, supports epidermal renewal and has antioxidant properties protecting cells against free radical damage. Vitamin E helps protect the skin from photoaging and inhibits the formation of reactive oxygen species. Both vitamins play a crucial role in reducing oxidative stress and slowing down premature ageing of the skin.
When the diet is deficient in GLA and vitamins A and E, the skin may lose water more rapidly, becoming dry, rough and more prone to irritation. Over time, this accelerates skin ageing and gives it a tired look. Supplementation can help counteract these effects.
