Many people will tell you that you cannot have it all. However, most of these people don’t know the wonders of baobab oil.

Extracted from baobab tree seeds, baobab oil is a nutrient-rich and luxurious oil with numerous health benefits. This plant-based moisturizer product is loaded with omega fatty acids, Vitamin E, Vitamin A and antioxidants.  Baobab oil is a great skin moisturiser, promotes the healing of wounds and it also has anti-inflammatory benefits.

Let’s take a look at 7 reasons why you should strongly consider using baobab oil for your skin and hair.

Preserving Collagen

Collagen accounts for a third of your body’s total protein. It’s what gives your skin its elasticity and strength. The older you get, the slower your body will produce collagen. So, it is important to take care of your skin and protect it with a healthy diet. Baobab is loaded with antioxidants that keep the skin strong and help preserve collagen.

How To Restore Collagen To Your Skin Naturally

Combating Wrinkles and Fine Lines 

When collagen breaks down, guess what happens? Wrinkles and fine lines start to form. Not getting enough sleep, a poor diet and UV rays from the sun can all cause the breakdown of collagen. Fortunately, you can protect your skin from this using baobab oil. The nutrients in baobab can help prevent collagen breakdown.

Fighting Acne 

If you’ve got acne-prone and oily skin, it might not seem like a good idea to put more oil on the skin. But, baobab is actually good for you if you’ve got oily skin. It moisturizes the skin and prevents it from producing the excess oil that causes acne, it doesn’t clog your pores and it’s incredibly lightweight.

Conditioning Hair

For hair to stay healthy and strong it needs moisture. The potent moisturizing components found in baobab make it a fantastic product for hair. Depending on the texture of your hair, you can leave it overnight after you’ve massaged it in from the root to the tip. You can also use baobab hair to protect your hair from sunlight and to smooth frizz.

You can make a hair mask or hot oil treatment with baobab in it as well.

Strengthening of Nails

You can stimulate nail growth when you apply cuticle oil. Most people don’t know this, but to get strong nails you need to start with the cuticles. Baobab oil is lightweight and absorbs quickly, which is why it’s a fantastic moisturizer for the fingers. Just put a little on each of your cuticles, massage it in a bit and then watch your nails grow beautifully.

Soothing Eczema and Irritation

Omega fatty acids are known to be able to fight inflammation, and baobab is rich with these nutrients. This is why it’s so perfect for inflamed and sensitive skin. The anti-inflammatory properties found within baobab oil can even help treat skin conditions like psoriasis or eczema.

Different Types Of Eczema And Treatment Or Management

Protection from UV Rays 

Baobab oil is rich in vitamin E. Do you know what vitamin E can do? It can reduce the damage caused by UV (ultraviolet rays) from the sun. Vitamin E absorbs UV light’s energy thus helping prevent it from damaging the skin. Okay, it may not be a sunscreen alternative but it’ll definitely protect and moisturize your skin simultaneously.

The Benefits Of Sunscreen And How To Apply It

It’s amazing how oil from one seed can be so beneficial. That’s baobab oil’s power. But, not all of it is created equal. Always ensure you’re getting yours from reputable sources. Hopefully, now you know some of the uses of baobab for both your skin and hair.
