Grape Seeds Oil

WE had a high tea party , and the girls were pretty creative with the wine glass. Those wine glasses are beautiful crystal made, with the classic design, i feel like a queen using it . But because we had some friends who are muslims in the party , no alcohol is allowed . So instead of putting those beautiful glasses to waste as they are flown in from Switzerland , they place some red grapes in it to serve fruits as a dessert. Beautifully thought of i must say .

When my good friend was busily taking off the skin and seeds from the grapes to eat the remaining fruit, i scream and said : eat the seeds !! it's antioxidant ! She looked at me as if i am a crazy woman and said : i can just take tablets, buy from your pharmacy , got discount ahhhh??  The most common question my friend ask me every time they say they need medication . And then i will say public hospital is totally FREE !! *phew*

She then gave me the inspiration to write about grape seeds oil  . About 5 years back , the supplement gain some popularity among those ladies who wanted stay and look younger than their age, and they found grape seeds oil. The supplement was not exactly bad, but it is not to be taken !!

Grape seeds oil comes from the excess or say the by -product of winemaking, the left over grape seeds are then extracted with chemical solvent to give the oil . Has high content of vitamin E and omega 6 . Claims to be high in polyphenols and flavonoids , provided if the capsule or tablets are well coated and are not destroyed once it reaches our stomach acids. So the raw seeds is hard and when u bite and chew or swallow whole, your stomach acid destroy the hard outer seed, some polyphenol and flavonoids will be absorbed in the intestine. Which is why the tablets are useless. Omega 6 is all too much in the fat and cooking oil we eat daily , the additional will not benefit the heart or the arteries.

You will have to eat a lot of grapes together with the seeds to get anti-aging effect, so i am not telling you to buy tons of grapes to eat now, you probably end up with obstructions of bowel or diabetes from the sugar in the fruits, but what i am saying if you so happen to come across the seeds and skin, don't take them off and just eat them as a whole.

Skin care products like CAUDALIE uses grape seeds oil as their active ingredients for creams. When in creams , the oil gives perfect moisturisation to very dry skin , dehydrated skin needs extremely oily formulation but not too oily to give a greasy feel. Oil in water base is best. When the oil is applied according to the regimen, i believe it will be effective as high vitamin E means good for skin cells  regeneration and scarring and Omega 6 would fix very dry skin problems.
