Amazing Benefits of Sunflowers!
Moisturize Skin and Nails. The oil distilled from sunflowers is similar to the skin's natural oils, delivering moisture that protects the skin's barrier layer from the elements, says natural-beauty expert Josephine Fairley, author of The Ultimate Natural Beauty Book (Universe, 2004). Plus, sunflower oil's high levels of vitamin E and fatty acids smooth dry-skin patches and ragged cuticles!
Make Haircolor more Vibrant! Forget haircolor touch-ups - you can make that fresh-from-the-salon richness last with sunflower extract. French researchers discovered that products containing this extract repair 100% of damage caused by exposure to the environment. The credit goes to polyphenols, highly potent antioxidants that counteract the free-radical damage caused by UVA rays and environmental pollutants (two main culprits of dull strands).
Firm Skin and Erase Fine Liner. Even the stems of these towering gems offer beauty benefits, thanks to their high concentration of auxins. These hormones play a crucial role in the firmness of sunflower stalks, allowing them to follow the sun's path without breaking. And now scientists have found that auxins deliver the same exceptional firming benefits when applied to skin. The proven result: a smooth, youthful complexion!
Sunflower Facial Scrub:
The seeds of these cheery flowers offer dual beauty benefits: They're rich in fatty acids that moisturize skin. And when finely ground, they gently exfoliate. To get the benefits, whip up this scrub, courtesy of Janice Cox, author of Natural Beauty at Home (Owl Books, 2002). Apply to skin weekly.
1/2 cup raw sunflower seeds
3 tsp. distilled water
In a coffee grinder, process the seeds into a fine powder. In your palm, mix 1 Tbs. of the powder with water to create a smooth paste. Massage onto face, then rinse with warm water.
