Sesame Seed Oil

Sesame seeds were one of the first crops processed for oil as well as one of the earliest condiments and were acquired from the seeds of Sesamum Indicum plant. Sesame contains Vitamin E that acts as an excellent antioxidant and thus is useful as a natural sunscreen lotion. Sesame oil acts as both moisturiser and emollient for the body. To prevent dry skin problems, some drops of sesame oil added to the bath water works wonders. Another benefit is that it slows down ageing because of its antioxidant properties. It also detoxifies the skin, helps to repair damaged skin cells and reduces antibacterial infections.
