Here comes the sun(flowers.)
Whenever people talk about oils, I assume they’re going to rave about the benefits of coconut oil or CBD. So when I did eventually hear about this incredible oil, I was intrigued. I had never heard of sunflower oil before, let alone sunflower oil for skin. What really is sunflower oil and how can you actually use it?
According to Buckler’s, sunflower oil moisturizes skin, helps fight acne, reduces signs of aging, soothes and heals skin. It is also rich in vitamins E and A which protect your skin from harmful UV rays and improves skin appearance. Sunflower oil also brings life back into dry and damaged hair. Sunflower oil is essentially absorbed through your skin, so not only can you smell like a flower, but you can feel like one too.
With the beauty industry constantly growing, there are numerous products on the market which can make shopping for high quality skin care products quite stressful. Because let’s face it, affordability in skin care is hard to come by and you might not want to spend a ton of money on a product that might not even work for you.
Here’s a compiled list of five sunflower oils that will give you all the perks without burning a hole in your wallet.

Sunflower oil is on its way to being a mainstream skincare product. So before the demand gets any higher, put your “petal” to the metal and snatch one of these affordable bottles!
