Effects and Use
Wheat germ oil has antioxidant, regenerative, and healing properties. It smooths out wrinkles, supports collagen production, and restores the elasticity of the skin and hair. It acts as a prevention for cellulite. It promotes the healing of minor cracks and scars. It is suitable for mature, dry, sensitive, and very stressed skin. On the other hand, it is not suitable for oily, problematic skin, as it is too heavy and may clog pores.
