How I Use Grapeseed Oil- I use grapeseed oil to moisturize my hands after I wash them with handsoap. While it's still wet I rub it all over my hands and then pat dry. Who needs lotion?
- Sometimes I store it in the shower and apply it to my wet body. Layering lotion or a body butter afterwards will provide amazing moisture especially in the winter months.
- Oil in the shower can be dangerous so a good alternative is to add about a tablespoon of grapeseed oil
to your lotion or body butter (per application) for extra hydration.
- When I'm removing my makeup I slather grapeseed oil
- I add grapeseed oil
- Because it's a natural heat protectant, I add a little oil before blowdrying and before flat ironing. It's also fabulous at taming flyaways. Check out my post on how I straightened my hair.
- At night, sometimes I seal all of my eye creams and eye serums with a dab of grapeseed oil
