Miracle Salad

Not really, but that got your attention, right?  Its actually more of a miracle oil, that could easily be used in a salad dressing.  Get it? 

What we eat shows up on our skin, sometimes with dramatic effect.  And on our hips, but that's a topic for another blog.  What if something we eat were equally good for nourishing the skin from the outside as well as from the inside?  It would make shopping at Whole Foods either very efficient, or really confuse what goes in which aisle.

Such is the case with organic, expeller (cold)-pressed safflower oil, which is rich in oleic (or linoleic, depending on the type) acid and omega 6 fatty acids.  As an oil alone, its an excellent occlusive (or substance that helps to prevent water from escaping by forming a 'seal'), but the oleic acid and omega 6 fatty acids actually make safflower oil a potential body anti-aging powerhouse, fighting loss of elasticity and density naturally.  Even better, a diet rich in safflower oil, like in your salads, may even help to control acne by encouraging elimination of the gook that gets clogged up in pores. 

And a bottle will run you about $4.99.  Love.
