Benefits
Parsley oil for wrinkles
Wrinkles are the first signs of premature ageing. Though anti-aging creams give results, the moment you stop using them, your skin starts showing the wrinkles again. On the other hand, parsley oil gradually helps in lessening the appearance of wrinkles, and prevents their occurrence, too.
Parsley oil for dandruff
Most shampoos that promise to help in getting ‘rid’ of dandruff do not really help. Mix few drops of parsley essential oil with powdered parsley seeds and apply it over your scalp. Leave it overnight to get a dandruff free scalp.
Parsley oil for treating hair loss
Well, not scientifically proven, but many women observed a slight relief with their hair loss when they used parsley oil. Simply massage some parsley oil on your scalp. The massaging will help in promoting the blood circulation, while the parsley oil will help in keeping hair loss at bay.
Parsley oil to get even skin tone
A drop of parsley oil mixed with apple cider vinegar helps to tone the skin. It treats any skin discolorations and makes your skin tone even.
Parsley oil for moisturising the skin
Though parsley oil doesn’t work great for the moisturizing purpose, it is used extensively in moisturizing lotions, and these lotions work greatly for your skin. It can heal excessive dryness without any side effects.
Soothes and treats acne
Unlike some natural acne treatments, Parsley Oil focuses on soothing and nourishing the skin and gently cleaning it of dirt, oil, grime and sebum build up. It can be an effective treatment for those who suffer with hormonal breakouts or acne.
