Emu oil has many benefits for your skin. But what about emu oil and wrinkles? Can this healthy oil really stop wrinkles and fine lines from appearing? Read on to find out more....
Poor lonely wrinkles. Like an uninvited guest to a party, everyone wants them to leave.
As we age, our skin makes more free radicals. These wayward oxygen molecules are normally removed by antioxidants and your skin's natural cleansing process. If your skin cells can't make enough antioxidants these free radicals damage skin proteins in the dermis layer, causing inflammation.

Toss in plenty of sun exposure and effects of gravity and you get sagging skin and wrinkles.
Once that wrinkle appears you may want to do something to minimize them so they're less noticeable.
Walk into the cosmetics section at any department store and you'll find lots of products promising to erase fine lines and wrinkles.
Use sunscreens to |
Most dermatologists agree that the number one product to prevent skin damage and premature wrinkles is sunscreen.
A good sunscreen should block both UVA and UVB rays and have a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of 15 or higher.
Not only will sunscreen prevent wrinkles, it will also reduce your risk for skin cancer. Incidentally, animal studies found krill oil can reduce the incidence of skin cancer by up to 50%.
You can buy skin care products that may improve the look of your skin and help reduce the appearance of wrinkles. These products may contain antioxidants, collagen, vitamins and other natural and man-made ingredients.
Most of these products try to replace substances or provide nutrients that your skin may need to help it look younger and healthier.
The following facts may help convince you about the benefits of emu oil and wrinkles treatment.
Emuse Emu Oil |
Emu oil is rich in essential fatty acids, including omega 3, 6 and 9. Studies showed emu oil is anti-bacterial, hypo-allergenic and naturally non-comedogenic (won't clog pores).
Keeping your skin moist and elastic is essential for the prevention of dry, aging skin.
Applying emu oil will allow the essential fatty acids to penetrate the epidermal layers of the skin, down to the basal layer where it enhances new cell growth.
Scientists believe the hyper-oxygenation of the fatty acid esters contained in emu oil may increase local blood flow in the areas it's applied, thereby increasing the healing process, slowing down the aging process and in some cases, may even reverse it.
Since emu oil's ingredients are so similar to our skin's fatty acids, it may make it highly compatible and the ideal substance to use for nourishing and promoting healthy skin growth.
More benefits of emu oil and why it's good for your skin:
Many people have found emu oil improves the texture and smoothness of their skin. In fact, the Aborigines of Australia used this oil for hundreds of years to help moisturize and protect their skin from the hot Australian sun.

I found that the best time to use emu oil is right after washing your face.

While the skin is still damp, apply emu oil to the areas that need treating.
You may find the emu oil absorbs rapidly as the skin 'soaks up' the essential fatty acids and other skin-nourishing ingredients.
I found it's better to use only a few drops as too much oil will leave the skin feeling 'greasy'.
Emu oil also makes a great under-the-eye moisturizer and for treating small dry patches of skin.

I believe combining emu oil and wrinkle prevention is natural skin care at its best. You're not using any petroleum by-products or preservatives and you're providing your skin with the essential fatty acids it needs to enhance new cell growth.
