Borage is a blue, star shaped flower found in all parts of the world. It’s seeds contain the richest known source of GLA (gamma-linolenic acid) which is an Omega 6 essential fatty acid. Borage seed oil not only restores moisture to dry, damaged skin, it is a great remedy for those who suffer from chronic skin disorders. It can be used topically. When used directly on the skin, it penetrates well, but can leave skin feeling oily, so you might want to use it with a lighter carrier oil such as grape seed oil. Try using it instead of your night cream. And while you’re at it, gently massage it into your nails, especially around the cuticles, before going to sleep.
In addition to treating acne and the like, borage oil also improves skin health in general. It restores moisture and helps treat dry skin.
Borage seed oil is specifically known for its ability to treat eczema and dermatitis. This can be attributed to its ability to correct deficiencies in skin lipids. The science is this – when the skin cannot produce enough of the protective oils, the result happens to be inflammation and skin flare-ups.
The oil can also help improve psoriasis. You simply have to apply some borage oil to the affected areas and leave it on overnight. Wash off with cold water in the morning.
Certain sources say borage oil can also reduce cellulite
