Healthy Skin And Hair With Mongongo Oil

When it comes to oils that can easily be used to help improve and replenish your skin and hair, there are many to choose from. Despite that fact, the oil that we'll be explaining today is a Holy Grail-type oil. This means that even if you have a ton of other oils to try out, make sure you put this one somewhere on your list.

It's that good. Though it's not as well known as some of the other options, it really works. Derived from the fruit that comes from the manketti tree, the nut's oil has been used for years in various parts of the world for skin care. Here are some key benefits that mongongo oil can provide.

Moisturizing

Due to the high content of polyunsaturated fatty acids that are present in this oil, it's a great natural moisturizer for the skin. This type of fatty acid is actually better than saturated fatty acids that can be found in coconut oil because they remain on the skin for a longer period of time.

If you are really struggling with dry, cracked skin or skin that's started to look drab and lifeless, this is an oil that you should moisturize with. It also helps provide your skin with an emollient layer that will protect and prevent harmful extraneous environmental factors from penetrating the skin.

Anti-Aging

Two of the biggest aging causes are lack of moisture and free radicals and are the biggest contributing factors to skin taking on a look of age and lack of youth. Thankfully, the use of mongongo oil can help eradicate that issue as it helps skin to retain needed moisture which improves the texture.

This will help to ward off the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and loose skin - ultimately having your face looking and feeling as youthful and supple as you wish. It is truly one of the keys to the elusive fountain of youth.

Sun Protection

While many people know that it's important to protect your skin before you go to the beach on a hot day, many forget that sun protection is crucial year round. This means that protecting your skin from the sun's harmful UV rays is a necessity 365 days a year.

While sunscreen sometimes does the job, many of those drugstore options have specific ingredients that aren't natural or good for your body. Mongongo oil offers another layer of sun protection that will help shield your skin from harmful UV rays.

Dandruff

This oil is very helpful to those who experience dry and damaged hair, but even more than that, can be used to help treat scalps that are dry, itchy or scaly. Try incorporating a couple of drops into your shampoo and notice how the health of your scalp improves significantly after using it for about a week or two. Your hair will also be easier to manage and more luscious after using this oil for a bit of time.
