We've all heard wonders about olive oil and coconut oil but do you guys know what the real MVP is? It's sesame oil of course. It contains powerful antioxidants that can fight free radicals, it has anti-inflammatory properties that can fight inflammation like a boss and it's packed with Omega-6 fatty acids that can work wonders in treating conditions like heart ailments. This is why it can work wonders on your skin and hair too. So, here are some benefits sesame oil can have on your hair and skin.

Often scalp infections can lead to other issues like dandruff and itching. And it becomes difficult to get rid of these problems. That's where sesame oil steps in. Since it contains anti-inflammatory properties, it can help soothe your scalp and thus get rid of dandruff as well.

As we grow older the signs of ageing start showing up on our skin and we end up with wrinkles, spots, blemishes and whatnot. But these things can make you look older than you actually are. Sesame oil is rich in antioxidants so it can give your skin a beautiful glow and can help reduce all these signs of premature ageing.

Sesame oil can work as a leave-in conditioner for your hair so all you need to do is rub some of it in your hair after you're done shampooing it. It'll instantly add a shine to your hair and will leave it looking gorgeous. Alternatively, you could also add it to your conditioner and wash your hair with it.

We often end up bumping into things and that can lead to minor cuts and scrapes. Rubbing some sesame oil on these cuts can help calm your skin and slowly heal the wound. In fact, it's supposedly so good that it can also help prevent the formation of marks on your skin.
