These days, it seems like there’s a new beauty oil being sworn in as the next big thing every few days (hello coconut oil, rosehip oil, and tea tree oil). The problem? It’s becoming increasingly difficult to decide which one you should welcome into the fold as your skin’s latest partner-in-crime.
This is where grapeseed oil, an oil that’s extracted from the seeds of wine grapes, sets itself apart from the competition. Unlike other oils that may only suit certain skin types or clog pores, grapeseed oil is a lightweight oil that’s noncomedogenic, making it suitable for most skin types—including sensitive and acne-prone.
And because it contains ingredients that can help to improve a variety of skin concerns, those with multiple issues to tackle may be able to streamline the number of products they’re currently using by making the switch to grapeseed oil. Here’s everything you need to know about this multitalented beauty product.
Technically, grapeseed oil is a byproduct of winemaking—once the grapes are pressed, the seeds are left over, says Los Angeles-based board-certified dermatologist Tsippora Shainhouse, MD. There are different methods of extracting the oil from the seeds, but for cosmetic purposes, cold-pressed is best.
“Cold-pressed oils may have more active potential, since they haven’t been heated, distilled, or processed,” says Dr. Shainhouse. This helps to keep its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties intact.
Currently, there are no large-scale studies that prove the skin benefits of grapeseed oil, so the perks, for the moment, are considered theoretical. However, the individual ingredients that grapeseed oil contains—such as omega fatty acids and vitamin E—are well-studied, so the assumption is that grapeseed oil can provide similar benefits to the skin, says NYC-based board-certified dermatologist Susan Bard, MD.
Grapeseed oil contains high levels of linoleic acid, an omega-6 fatty acid that can help control acne by decreasing clogged pores. “Acne-prone skin has been found to be deficient in linoleic acid, making the sebum (oil) thick and sticky, leading to clogged pores,” says Dr. Bard.
It’s also anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial, making it an ideal sidekick in your fight against breakouts, and can be used as a carrier oil for tea tree oil, another potential acne fighter. Bonus: The vitamin E in grapeseed oil may help lessen the appearance of acne scarring, says Debra Jaliman, MD, author of Skin Rules.
The antioxidants found in grapeseed oil, such as vitamin C, vitamin E, and proanthrocyanidin (phew), can help to prevent—and undo—pollution- and UV-induced free radical damage to the skin, says Dr. Shainhouse. The result? Skin that’s smooth and firm—and better protected against more serious issues too, such as skin cancer. (Remember: Free radicals are unstable molecules that can wreak havoc on your body’s cells.)
Back to the fatty acids, which can help improve your skin’s moisture level by reducing transepidermal water loss (where the skin loses water to the surrounding environment via evaporation): “Linoleic acid integrates into the cell membranes to fortify the skin barrier and smooth and soften skin,” says Dr. Shainhouse.
Meanwhile, vitamin E replenishes lipids that have been lost (the skin’s natural fats that help to maintain a protective barrier and hold onto moisture). If your skin is on the oily side, this moisture boost will also help slow oil production, which tends to strike because your skin thinks it’s too dry.
Some studies show that linoleic acid also has anti-inflammatory properties, says Dr. Jaliman, and may reduce inflammation in the skin’s epidermal (top) and dermal (middle) layers. Plus, the phytosterols (a type of molecule found in plants) in grape seeds may help control the skin’s inflammatory response, according to a review published in the Molecular Journal of International Sciences. This may make it a handy oil to have around if you have an inflammatory disorder like eczema or rosacea.
Besides fatty acids, grapeseed oil contains polyphenols, which help fight premature aging. “Polyphenols have been known to not just slow the aging process, but reverse signs of aging, like sun spots, fine lines, and wrinkles,” says Dr. Jaliman. The oil contains natural astringent properties too, resulting in firmer-looking skin.
Dr. Shainhouse recommends going with a grapeseed oil that’s cold-pressed to ensure that the active ingredients—and the oil itself—haven’t been chemically altered. Experts also agree that the grapeseed oil you choose be certified organic. “This way, you know that it’s pure, without pesticide and herbicide residues that may be present in conventional oils,” says Anthony Youn, MD, anti-aging expert and author of The Age Fix.
When you’re ready to introduce your face to some stellar grapeseed oil, consider taking one of the following for a spin:
Because grapeseed oil absorbs easily, it makes for a convenient addition to your beauty routine. It’s also uber-versatile: Use it by itself, mix it into your go-to lotions or serums, or use it as a carrier oil. (Though you should do a spot test first to ensure you don’t have a reaction to the stuff.)
“Frequency of application depends on the issue you’re targeting and its severity,” says Dr. Bard, who recommends starting with a once-daily application and bumping up your application quota as needed. Start with a few drops on clean, pre-product skin or mixed into your moisturizer or night cream. If irritation strikes, nix grapeseed oil from your repertoire.
Congested? Sore? Anxious? There’s an essential oil for that.
Essential oils may seem like a buzzy trend in the beauty and wellness space, but there’s no denying the extensive benefits found in age-old plant extracts—especially eucalyptus oil.
Eucalyptus oil can help clear your sinuses, relieve sore muscles, and combat stress. But before you slather it all over your entire body, let’s break down what it is and how to use it safely and effectively.
Eucalyptus oil comes from the oval-shaped leaves of the eucalyptus tree, which is native to Australia. The leaves are dried, crushed, and distilled to release the powerful essential oil, says Amy Galper, co-founder of the National Association of Holistic Aromatherapy.
The main ingredient is cineole (also known as eucalyptol), which is known for its anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and aromatic properties. Australian Aboriginals used eucalyptus as a natural remedy against wounds, infections, aches, and colds.
Just one whiff of the minty, menthol-like aroma can open up your sinuses. It might also remind you of the locker room at Equinox: Galper says it’s no coincidence that eucalyptus oil is the scent of choice at spas and health clubs. “It’s really great for relieving muscle aches, which is why you smell it a lot in spas,” she says.
The most effective way to combat congestion with eucalyptus oil is steam inhalation, which allows the oil to react with mucous membranes, reducing mucus and loosening up congestion. It’s important to note that eucalyptus oil is strong, so you only need one or two drops to achieve the desired effect.
To create steam inhalation: Place one to two drops in a small bowl of steaming hot water. Drape a towel over your head to focus the steam and stand with your head at least an arm’s width away from the bowl. Close your eyes and breathe in deeply, allowing the vapor to enter your nose. Inhale the steam for five to 10 minutes.
Eucalyptus oil can clear your airways and allow more oxygen into your lungs, which can boost energy and promote mental clarity. “Most people who breathe it automatically feel a great release, like their breathing becomes easier,” says Galper. Diffuse five drops at home or work to refocus.
Thanks to the anti-inflammatory benefits of eucalyptus oil, it can work wonders if your muscles are sore after a workout or if you suffer from chronic pain caused by certain conditions, like carpal tunnel syndrome or tennis elbow. Mix one or two drops with a carrier oil (like coconut, argan, or jojoba oil) and rub it on the sore area in a circular motion.
Thanks to the antimicrobial properties in eucalyptus oil, it can combat bad breath and be used as a natural mouthwash. Simply add one to two drops to water, gargle, and spit out. Be careful not to swallow; eucalyptus oil shouldn’t be ingested.
There are a variety of benefits of using eucalyptus oil for your hair: it stimulates the scalp, fights dandruff, and improves hair elasticity. Add one drop to your shampoo before applying.
Anti-fungal components in eucalyptus oil combat the yeast-like fungus malassezia, the most common cause of dandruff. Simply mix two to four drops of eucalyptus oil with one to two tablespoons of coconut oil, apply to scalp, wait 20 minutes, then rinse thoroughly.
Eucalyptus oil contains a natural antiseptic that can be used on bug bites, ulcers, sores, cuts, and burns. It also has antimicrobial properties that work to prevent the growth of new germs. Apply two to three drops on a clean cotton ball and rub the area of concern twice daily.
Create your own antiseptic wash at home for cuts, scrapes, and burns. Add 10 drops of eucalyptus oil to two cups of water and combine in a spray bottle. Spray a damp, clean cloth and wipe the wound.
Its anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties, coupled with its natural cooling sensation, make eucalyptus oil ideal for soothing a painful sunburn. Antibacterial properties also protect the skin from infection.
Fill a two-ounce spray bottle with purified water. Add two to four drops of eucalyptus oil and one teaspoon of pure aloe vera gel, which acts as a natural emulsifier. Shake well and spray on skin for relief. This also makes for a refreshing spray that can cool you down on a hot summer day.
The fresh, menthol-like aroma will help wake you up and invigorate your senses. It will also provide calming relief before you start your day. Simply fill a spray bottle with cool water and add five to 10 drops of eucalyptus oil. Spray the shower walls and turn the hot water on, allowing it to steam before you step in. Be sure to adjust the temperature accordingly.
Not only can eucalyptus oil alleviate sinus pressure and boost mental clarity, but it also promotes the relaxation of tense facial muscles. To alleviate a headache using the essential oil, simply roll up a damp, clean cloth and sprinkle with a few drops of eucalyptus oil. Apply to forehead, focusing on your temples and the back of your neck.
Looking for a repellent that isn’t filled with harsh chemicals? Look no further than eucalyptus oil. The scent repels moths, rodents, cockroaches, and mosquitos.
Add 20 drops to a large spray bottle of water and spray around targeted areas. The ASPCA states that eucalyptus oil is toxic for cats and dogs, so exercise caution and consult your vet before spraying in homes with pets.
While eucalyptus oil can work wonders in a variety of ways, Galper stresses the importance of diluting the essential oil before directly applying it to your skin—and steering clear of sensitive areas. “I wouldn’t recommend it in a blend for the face, and it could be irritating if applied directly on skin,” she says. “So always dilute it down.” Eucalyptus oil is not for internal use, should not be ingested, and should not be used directly on children.
Editor’s Note: This whisky was provided to us as a review sample by Brown Forman. This in no way, per our editorial policies, influenced the final outcome of this review.
The storied GlenDronach distillery had some big shoes to fill with the supply-depleted departure of its 15 year old, sherried expression from the market in 2015. Locals and critics alike bemoaned the fate of that bottling, with secondary market prices quickly tripling. It appears their voices were heard, and with great trumpetting from the whisky community around the world.
With The GlenDronach 15 Year Old Revival, the cult favorite, sherry-happy distillery has reintroduced its decade and a half old, single malt expression that’s been aged in Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry casks from Andalucía, Spain, to the market to much acclaim. The winner of a Double Gold medal at the San Francisco Spirits Awards in 2018, it seems that the guidance of master blender Rachel Barrie and new ownership blood has paid off.
The GlenDronach is one of the more beloved, though still relatively unfamiliar, names in Scotch whisky. Nearing its 200th anniversary, the distillery has suffered some of the more common indignities in recent whisky history. Mothballed in 1996, it was renovated and resumed a full production schedule in 2002. In the last 20 years the property has changed hands multiple times, most recently falling under the ownership of the American bourbon titan Brown-Forman and its first foray into the realm of Scotland’s whisky scene.
Brown-Forman and I are in the same boat on this count, as this will be my first taste of GlenDronach as well. As a big fan of sherried malts I’m quite excited for the return of this cult favorite.
The GlenDronach 15 Year Old Revival (image via Brown-Forman)
Vital Stats: 15 years old, matured in PX and oloroso butts, 46.5% ABV, $89.99 MSRP.
Appearance: Dusty amber with minimal sheeting.
Nose: Beautifully bright cassis, pomander, dark woods and palm sugar. Light ethanol heat.
Palate: Rich and deep, with surprisingly bright and welcome fruit notes. Persimmon gingerbread, raisins, brown butter, roasted stone fruit, marzipan and clove accentuated by high notes of honeydew, lime zest, cedar bough and mint stem, held together with a toasted coconut oil viscosity. A beautifully Christmas appropriate profile.
With a bit of water added it thinned out and turned, not unpleasantly, slightly prickly and towards an herbaceous melon Hi-Chu candy. It finishes with lingering Zante currants, light menthol notes and the pleasant bitterness of burnt sugar.
Summary
This is a delightful whisky. Those hoping for an exact reproduction of the discontinued iteration may be disappointed, as it is not that. Nevertheless, it is a delicious return to tradition, particularly those who enjoy a thoroughly sherried dram.
