A person needs care, as external factors such as poor ecology, temperature fluctuations and stress affect the skin. The best that can be used is natural ingredients - oils.

Oil from the seeds extracted in ancient times. Flax grew in Egypt, the East and China, from where it came to Europe. The extract was used in ancient times from many diseases, and the plant itself was used for clothing buckles and ate its seeds.

A useful substrate from a plant is obtained by pressing. Seeds contain about 70% liquid substance, which is obtained in several ways:

• cold pressing - represents the highest quality spin, without increasing the temperature. With this method, all the nutrients are stored in the oil. The first pressing of the oil is used as a food product, and due to the re-pressing of the cake, they get unrefined oil of a cosmetic type;
• warm pressing - This is a less gentle way of extracting useful products. It is based on the spin, with a smooth increase in temperature. The method is used to achieve a maximum squeeze of the product (which is possible due to high temperatures), but in this case almost no beneficial substances are stored (vitamins will collapse at high degrees).

The composition of flax "elixir" includes nutrients:

• omega-3-6-9 - fatty acidswhich are naturally present only in flaxseed oil and fish oil. They are indispensable (that is, the body is not produced), and are necessary for the normal functioning of the whole body.
