Borage oil is a popular natural oil used in the beauty industry due to its high content of essential fatty acids and other nutrients that are great for the skin. Here are some steps on how to use borage oil on your body:

Start with clean, dry skin. Take a shower or bath to remove any dirt or sweat that may have accumulated on your skin.
