Is this wheat germ oil suitable for facial use, especially for dry or stretch‑prone skin?

The oil can be used on the face, especially where dryness or reduced elasticity is noticeable, such as around stretch‑prone areas. Because it is rich in vitamin E, it helps protect the skin from external stress that can make it feel tight and look dull. A pea‑sized amount is usually sufficient; gently massage into clean, dry skin and allow it to absorb for several minutes before applying other products. The lipid layer formed by the oil reduces transepidermal water loss, helping the skin stay hydrated longer. Lecithin and phytosterols ensure the oil spreads evenly and feel supple, not greasy. For best results, use it as an evening step on mature‑looking or dry skin, and follow with a lighter moisturizer if the skin feels heavy. Avoid the eye area unless the user tolerates it well.
