Black cumin oil to preserve the beauty and youth of the skin

Aromatherapy and essential oils

Natural unrefined oil obtained from black cumin seeds by cold pressing has powerful anti-aging and anti-inflammatory properties. Thanks to this, the product is successfully used as a cosmetic care product for various skin types. Regular procedures with cumin oil can transform fading and problematic epidermis.

The healing properties of black cumin seed oil

Black cumin (Nigella sativa) was called Roman coriander in ancient times. Representatives of noble families of the Roman Empire anointed their faces and bodies with oil from its seeds to give the epidermis softness and radiance, as well as smooth out wrinkles. In Indian Ayurvedic treatises, this remedy is mentioned as an oil elixir that restores youth to mature skin.

Black cumin is an annual herbaceous plant that belongs to the Ranunculaceae family.

Such a powerful effect of cumin oil on the epidermis is due to its rich chemical composition. The product contains:

  • vitamin E (tocopherol), involved in metabolic processes occurring in all layers of the epidermis;
  • vitamin D (calciferol), which can relieve redness and protect the skin from peeling;
  • vitamin C (ascorbic acid), which slows down the aging of the epidermis and restores its protective functions;
  • vitamin B1 (thiamine), which successfully fights the manifestations of skin diseases, including photodermatitis;
  • vitamin B2 (riboflavin), which ensures a healthy complexion;
  • vitamin B3 (nicotinic acid), which is an effective anti-inflammatory element, has a healing effect on acne, blackheads and rosacea;
  • vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), which takes part in the synthesis of collagen and elastin, which form the matrix framework of the epidermis;
  • vitamin B9 (folic acid), responsible for metabolic processes in the deep layers of the dermis;
  • vitamin K (phylloquinone), which strengthens fragile capillaries and prevents the appearance of dark circles under the eyes;
  • zinc, which is a powerful antioxidant that helps prevent skin aging;
  • phosphorus, which gives the epidermis elasticity and firmness;
  • iron, which provides skin tone;
  • copper, which is involved in the synthesis of protein compounds necessary to maintain youthful skin;
  • calcium, the deficiency of which leads to early aging and sagging of the epidermis;
  • a complex of fifteen essential amino acids that provide the skin with a high level of density and a fresh, toned appearance;
  • carotenoids (lutein, zeaxanthin and lycopene), which are the strongest antioxidants and have photoprotective activity;
  • phytosterols that restore the lipid mantle of the skin and have an anti-inflammatory effect.

In addition, unrefined black cumin seed oil, obtained by cold pressing, contains valuable organic acids. Among them are:

  • myristic (has antimicrobial properties);
  • arachidonic acid (starts the process of renewal of epidermal cells);
  • palmitic (provides complete hydration);
  • palmitoleic (fights chronic inflammation, acne and dermatitis);
  • gamma-linolenic (normalizes the balance of the lipid barrier of the skin);
  • stearic (forms a thin protective membrane on the epidermis that protects it from moisture loss);
  • linoleic (has antioxidant activity and helps maintain youthful skin);
  • oleic (restores cell membranes damaged by excessive insolation).

In addition to vitamins, organic fatty acids and minerals, cumin oil contains biologically active substances such as flavonoids, polysaccharides, phospholipids, valuable enzymes, alkaloids, saponins and phytosterols. All of them are able to effectively care for facial skin, healing and preserving its youth and beauty.

Rejuvenating care for delicate skin around the eyes

Cosmetologists call the skin around the eyes the periorbital area and recommend caring for it in the most careful manner. The fact is that it is practically devoid of subcutaneous fatty tissue and sebaceous ducts, so it easily loses moisture, after which it becomes thinner and sags.

Comparison of faces with young and aging eyelid skin
With age, the skin around the eyes loses its youthfulness: crow's feet, wrinkles, bags and dark circles appear.

To delay the effects of time and external aging factors on the area around the eyes, you need to start caring for this delicate area as early as possible. Black cumin oil will help provide effective care. It can be used both in pure form and as part of cosmetic masks.

Otherwise, the lymphatic drainage effect will not be achieved and the swelling under the eyes will not disappear.

Reviews on the use of black cumin oil for beauty

I love black cumin oil and often use it not only for salad dressings, but also for cosmetic procedures. I mainly use it to care for the epidermis of the face, neck and eyelids. I have rather problematic skin that requires constant care. In summer, it “pleases” with increased fat content and a greasy sheen, and in winter – with flaking and dryness on the cheekbones and chin. Troubles also happen in the form of pimples and rosacea. Black cumin oil turned out to be a real discovery for me, because it equally effectively eliminates both increased dryness of the skin and the results of the active activity of the sebaceous glands. The best part for me is that this product is universal. There is no need to purchase mountains of tubes and bottles with synthetic contents; one bottle with a completely natural product donated by nature is enough. For my face, I use cumin oil as follows: once a week I apply it in its pure form to cleansed skin. At this time, I try to do some business in the bathroom by turning on the hot water. The steam generated in a closed room helps the product penetrate into the deep layers of the epidermis. Just before going to bed, I remove the oil with a cotton pad soaked in micellar toner. I don’t apply any face creams on this day. I give cumin oil the opportunity to show its strength. The next morning, my skin delights me with its smoothness and fresh, uniform color. I also really love making masks based on this product. In the warm season, I apply mixtures of cumin oil, green and white clay, crushed parsley, fruit pulp and some vegetables (cucumbers, tomatoes, potatoes) to the skin. In autumn and winter, masks and compresses with the addition of banana pulp, egg yolks, crushed oatmeal and high-fat dairy products (cream, sour cream, natural yogurt) help me restore my face after exposure to the active summer sun. This product also helps me out during intense work. Due to lack of sleep, the skin under the eyes often darkens, taking on a haggard appearance. On those days when I do not use decorative cosmetics, I apply warm cumin oil to the epidermis of the periorbital zone twice a day (morning and evening). After just a few procedures, the skin of the eyelids becomes fresh and moisturized, and dark circles and swelling gradually disappear. I recently gave a bottle of unrefined cumin oil to my mother. She usually uses store-bought facial products, gullibly hoping for a miraculous rejuvenation effect. At my insistence, my mother applied black cumin seed oil to the area around her eyes and facial skin. Two weeks later, she happily noted a decrease in the intensity of pigmentation. Unsightly dark spots on the cheekbones have noticeably brightened, and the skin of the eyelids has smoothed out a little and began to look more hydrated. Of course, cumin oil will not smooth out severe age-related and expression wrinkles, but it can serve as a reliable aid in preventing their occurrence.

If you need to get rid of acne, black cumin oil comes to the rescue. I used it directly on pimples at night. The oil has an anti-inflammatory effect and dries them out. You can simply apply it to your face as a cream. The next morning the face looks refreshed and rejuvenated.

I applied black cumin oil to my face in its pure form - I got rid of acne in 2 weeks (after two cycles of 3,5 months of treatment with a dermatologist, the results were only during treatment), cleared the pores of blackheads! Crow's feet have shrunk! Absolutely delighted! I'm going to take it internally!

I have been using this oil every other day for two months now and the results are obvious!! The skin is elastic, smooth and fresh. I even stopped using decorative cosmetics. So: if your skin is dry, it will receive the necessary nutrition and hydration. Caraway oil will tighten it, smooth out wrinkles, completely heal and rejuvenate. If the epidermis is oily, it will thoroughly clean the pores, narrow them, remove excess shine, restore purity and radiance, and relieve swelling.

I use black cumin oil for acne - I apply it pointwise, smear it with a cotton swab dipped in oil. As a result, they dry out and inflammation is relieved.

I use black cumin oil as a night cream for my face. The skin of the face smoothed out, became better, pigmentation became a little less noticeable. If you use the oil after a shower, your body will become soft, velvety... quickly absorbed, it’s worth a try.

This black cumin oil has an amazing effect, the face began to look better and the problems with acne went away, one appears once a month, but this is normal.

I started using oil to care for my facial skin. To do this, I moistened a cotton pad with natural rose water and added a few drops of oil. I wiped my face with this mixture every day before bed, including the area around the eyes, eyelashes and eyebrows. After about a month, the result was noticeable, the skin became lighter and softer. Small facial wrinkles smoothed out, eyelashes and eyebrows began to grow and recover better.

I also suffered from acne for several years, I tried so many things... it was terrible. The acne then became smaller, then the whole face was covered again. And so I found a solution for myself - I started making tampons with yogurt (not sweet) at night and putting a few drops of oil on it... And of course, plus drinking all this. You won’t believe it, but all this shit went away pretty quickly.

Black cumin oil, when used systematically, significantly improves the health of the skin of the face and eyelids. It is easy to use, affordable and is an excellent way to maintain youth and beauty.
