1. Erase dryness and fine lines with GLA. This is a fatty acid (gamma linoleic acid) is found in borage seed oil and evening primrose, and is essential for building soft, healthy, line -free skin. This was stated by Dr Perricone. In Europeon studies, a daily dose of either oil lessened dryness and tightness by 67% in two months, plus improved skin tone, elasticity and texture, and reduced wrinkling for 71% of women.
One would take 1200 mg of the borage oil or 3600 mg of evening primrose daily.
2. Firm lax skin with powdered greens. Adding the supplement to your morning juice can help slow-even reverse- sags and bags by neutralizing acids released by cells that attack the skin's supportive collagen and elastin. This research was done by the University of Maryland.
Each teaspoon of greens gives you the firming, acid neutralizing benefit of several pounds of fresh vegetables. Plus it has hundreds of skin healing vitamins, minerals and antioxidents.
In preliminary studies, a daily serving of the powdered greens improved elasticity and tone in as little as two weeks.
You would take 1tsp daily, such as GNC Maximum Greens Complete or Garden of Life Perfect Food.
Boy these sure sound like it's worth a try. I would probably mix the greens in V-8 Splash or V-8 juice. I may try one of these or both. Can't hurt anything, probably pretty good for us. |

Hi Keliu,
For how long have you been using the Hemp Seed Oil and do you have anything to report yet?
I recently bought a bottle of organic Hemp Seed Oil and will start using it next week and see if long term use will work on broken caps (someone reported improvement on broken caps by using Hemp Seed Oil).
You know, about the Evening Primrose oil …last winter I used the Martina Gebhardt Evening Primrose cream. No fancy ingredients, just some organic oils, a bit of lanolin, some green tea extract and some sheabutter.
I have never felt anything more gentle on my skin and it literally healed some red, dry and flaky patches overnight. It improved the overall texture of my skin as well. It became dewy and plump.
I am going to use it again this winter and will ad a few drops of the Hemp Seed Oil.
Ingredients: Pure spring water, green tea extract*, rose blossom water*, elder blossom water*, evening primrose oil*, macadamia nut oil*, olive oil*, woolwax, loose mineral sediment, beeswax*, sheabutter, cocoa butter*, vitamin E. |

September... you don't HAVE to make them into a jelly...
I think the idea is to just use them... and honestly, I don't even know the recommended amount. Still reading on them...
To make a "jelly", put a table spoon or 2 in a glass, add 3-4-tablespoons of water, let sit for 30 minutes... It gets all gloopy. Add to a smoothie, or things that you can MIX... you'll never notice or see them... I can't remember who uses them a lot besides Toby... other ideas.
Google Chia... there are ideas all over the net!
You might check out the book The Power of Chia... |

My skin always looks at its best when I treat it with simple and natural substances, like oils.
Except for pure undiluted rosehip oil, my skin never breaks out from using pure oils.
Good luck with the Hemp Seed Oil! |
What I like about oils is that they contain lots of anti-oxidants, so I figure that they have to be good for our skin in the same way as eating lots of fresh fruit and veges is good for our health. You can also add other actives to the oils as well. CoEnzyme Q10 is a good one, so is Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (Oil Soluble C). |
