Benefits of walnut oil for the skin -


Gets rid of fungal infections
There are many types of fungal infections, the most common of which are athlete’s foot, ringworm, yeast infections, and jock itch (all of which can be treated with walnut oil). But probably the most stubborn that keeps on coming back is angular cheilitis. Angular cheilitis is a mouth corner infection that brings redness, inflammation and pain. It can also be caused by viral or bacterial infection. If it’s caused by fungi, it can be resolved with the application of walnut oil on the mouth corner cracks everyday. You might want to combine walnut oil with garlic, which has potent antibacterial properties, for optimal results.
Fights signs of skin aging
What’s the number one enemy of people who want to stay young-looking forever? Wrinkles, of course! For these people, walnut oil is heaven-sent. With its greasy texture and high nutritional content, it helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. It’s a wonderful remedy for those who want smooth, flawless, and young-looking skin. Apply walnut oil on your face and body once a day.
Treats psoriasis
Psoriasis is an autoimmune disorder that causes rapid growth of skin cells resulting in thick silvery patches on the skin. Although walnut oil won’t cure it, it can certainly alleviate the condition. Apply walnut oil on the affected areas of the skin or add it to your bathwater.
Treats eczema
With its high omega 3 fatty acid content that works as anti-inflammatory, walnut oil is useful for treating eczema. Also called atopic dermatitis, eczema is a chronic skin inflammation condition. To get best results, combine walnut oil with garlic juice before applying on the affected skin area. You’ll find the condition much better in as quick as 10 days.
