Does anyone apply the Evening Primrose Oil liquid capsule directly to their skin? Any benefits? |

Never tried to apply directly to my skin... Instead I take orally everyday for relieving discomfort during menstuation. |

Evening Primrose oil works really well on the skin when applied topically but I would recommend getting an oil that is specifically for skin care rather than in an oral supplement form. It's also best to blend Evening Primrose oil with other carrier oils as a tiny bit of this oil goes a long way. For example, you may want to blend it with Jojoba and Rosehip for a great facial oil. It can really work wonders and I love using it myself.
Taking supplements orally is also recommended, for females especially, as it helps balance hormones, regulate cycles, and also works well for menopausal women. Because it is high in essential fatty acids it is of course great for skin and many other health benefits such as improved memory etc. |

I purchased this as well. I applied it once a week, since it's too oily during summer time. I don't see the difference but used it anyway as supplement for my skin topically... |

For two winters in a row, I broke out in eczema on my hands. It was recommended that I injest and APPLY E.P.O. directly to the inflammed areas.
Combined with this & Decleor Essential Balm, my skin was rescued! |
