3 tricks for skin care using natural oils |
|
If you try to nurture your skin with natural oils once, you are unlikely to go back to creams you have been used to.
Skin care with vegetable oils is by far the most convenient and the most natural way to keep your skin youthful, moisturized, clean and healthy.
Natural vegetable oils can resolve many dermatological problems if you have a little persistence.
What are natural vegetable oils
First of all you need to know that essential oils and natural plant oils are not synonymous.
Essential oils are expensive natural substances that are produced by distillation.
They are very concentrated, and when used undiluted on the skin, they can cause irritation.
In contrast, natural vegetable oils are fats obtained from the fruit, seeds or other parts of plants, usually by cold pressing.
Natural vegetable oils can be used in skin care independently and are very effective.
In aromatherapy, these oils are often called base oils because they serve as a base for adding essential oils.
Every drop of natural vegetable oils contains only natural compounds from plants.
1. Oils for oily and combined skin care
Are you dreading to even think about applying oils to your oily/combined skin?
There is no need to be afraid - natural oils will give your skin elasticity, resolve your excess sebum and remove it from the pigmented spots or acne scars (which is a very common problem with oily and combined skin).
What is the best oil to use for this type of skin?
Hazelnut oil will effectively hydrate oily and combined skin. Catechins and tannins make this product "dry", making it excellent for regulating the secretion of fat.
Hazelnut oil reduces pores and is excellent for treating acnes.
This oil has a rejuvenating effect on every skin type and is one of the few natural oils that contain UV protection and acts as an antioxidant.
Hazelnut oil is suitable for sensitive skin. Since it is very gentle, there is only a minimal risk of irritation.
Sunflower oil will solve the problem of enlarged pores. It is known that the pores on oily skin are wider than on normal or dry skin.
It often happens that widened pores get clogged with sebum and impurities, resulting in formation of pimples. This oil will leave your skin smooth, clean and supple.
Argan oil is known to many as a product used by celebrities for hair care and as a result, their hair is shiny and healthy. However, argan oil is also very suitable for oily skin.
This oil is rich in vitamin E, unsaturated fatty acids and carotene. Argan oil absorbs quickly and gently, and will help oily skin shine with natural splendor.
New mothers will certainly appreciate the news that this oil is often used for the care of children's skin and is completely safe for babies.
Jojoba oil is not really oil. It is found naturally in a rigid state, so it is called wax.
It is not recommended to use it on its own, but at a ratio of up to 30% mixed with other vegetable oils.
Jojoba will give your skin moisture and elasticity, while protecting against acne.
2. Every skin type likes avocado oil
Avocado oil is an excellent choice for all skin types.
This oil:
- is rich in vitamins A, D and E
- contains potassium, which is known as the youth mineral
- is rich in beta-carotene and unsaturated fatty acids
- removes pigmentation spots, freckles, sun damage and scarring
- significantly increases the production of collagen - the best ally for the youthful appearance
- is suitable for facial skin care, body and hair
- is absorbed deep into the tissue and smoothes the skin, making it ideal for the care of mature skin
- helps against desquamation with conditions such as psoriasis and eczema
- will prevent drying of the skin caused by the sun and high temperatures during summer
3. Oils for dry and mature skin care
Almond oil will quickly calm irritated dry skin. Thanks to the smoothing effect of this oil, dry skin will soon become soft, supple and toned.
Dry skin is prone to itching and swelling, and almond oil will prevent this unpleasant phenomenon.
As shown by recent studies, almond oil is an excellent protection against UV radiation that accelerates skin aging.
Not only does this oil protect your skin, but it can also undo the signs of aging skin.
Olive oil is not only used in cooking. Since ancient times, it has been known that olive oil is very effective in skin care.
This oil leaves dry skin silky and smooth and does not cause allergies and irritations that are typical for dry skin type.
The oil made of the fruit of wild roses is most beneficial when it comes to dry and mature skin. Essential fatty acids and a high percentage of vitamin A make this product ideal for skin regeneration.
Mature skin loves this oil because it smoothes wrinkles, removes pigmentation spots and is extremely nutritious.
Smokers can benefit from this oil since it will help them remove the yellowish color of their complexion.
Cotton seed oil is effective for moisturizing dry skin prone to redness and itching.
Rich in omega-6 fatty acids, this oil will make the driest skin soft to the touch.
Phytosterols which are abundant in cotton seed oil, create a protective layer on the skin allowing it to retain moisture.
The procedure of skin care with natural vegetable oils
Wash your face thoroughly with a product that does not contain alcohol. Lightly dry the skin with a towel, but leave it a little damp.
Drizzle desired mixture of oil in equal proportions on your palm (it takes only a few drops).
Gently massage the oil into your skin and wait 5-10 minutes for oil to soak. Remove excess fat tissue with a handkerchief. Repeat this process every morning and evening.
Natural oils are by far the best thing you can provide to your own skin.
They usually come in packages of 100 ml, and that quantity will serve you for a very long time. Once you start using natural oils, you will experience the fabulous rebirth of your skin.
It is time to start fighting for your natural healthy skin using natural oils.
