A member of the mint family and native to Eastern Asia, wild sesame seed oil (also known as Perilla ocymoides seed oil) is a great source of omega-3 essential fatty acids and is an excellent antioxidant, thus helping to prevent free-radical-induced damage to the skin cells, which can result in premature aging. It is also easily absorbed into the skin and is not greasy.

Sesame seed oil is one of the most popular cooking oils because of its hearty taste, but its health benefits aren’t often discussed. In addition to all the goodness you get by ingesting the stuff, using sesame seed oil for skin should lead to some pleasant complexion surprises.

Sesame oil has powerful anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, and anti-fungal properties. Brimming with anti-inflammatory compounds makes it ideal to be used without any carrier oil. Being a thick and sticky oil, sesame oil has the ability to penetrate deeply into the pores producing a detoxifying effect leaving skin feeling warm and fresh. Applied directly over the skin, the molecules of sesame oil attract oil-soluble toxins that can be washed away. These properties make it ideal to be used for skin conditions like eczema. It can also be helpful in reducing existing acne and pimples and can prevent breakouts and blackheads due to its antibacterial and antifungal properties.
