Remove any excess oil with a damp washcloth or microfiber cloth and rinse with warm, not hot, water.

Beta-carotene in skin-care products can help lighten the appearance of red, inflamed spots and blemishes and can even out skin tone. conditions hair and scalp The oil can tame flyaway hair and reduce the appearance of split ends. Use as a conditioning treatment before shampooing or rub 1 or 2 drops onto damp hands and run through the ends of your hair to control frizz. It is also a good treatment to massage into the scalp to treat dandruff or seborrhoeic dermatitis.

Seeds The seeds are edible and have diuretic and antioxidant properties. They are a good source of protein and vitamins B, D, E, and K. Salad dressing Phytonutrients are destroyed by heat, so the optimal way to get the best from sunflower oil is to use it cold as a salad dressing. Use unrefined sunflower oil, which retains more of the original nutritional content of the seeds and has a more pronounced flavor.
