Oils have incredible therapeutic powers and may help you achieve and keep beautiful, healthy skin. Here’s how to pick the correct oil, according to beauty legend Shahnaz Husain.
Face oil is one of the items that has been developed as a result of skin care research. Face oil, like serum, is the rage these days. Oil does not moisturise the skin on its own, but it aids in the skin’s ability to retain moisture. Face oils soften and prevent moisture loss in persons who have consistently dry, dehydrated skin. After using the oil, the skin feels and appears soft and smooth. Olive and coconut oils, for example, moisturize the skin by limiting moisture loss and assisting in moisture retention. Oils, in reality, offer a variety of qualities, including healing capabilities that can aid in the restoration and maintenance of healthy, beautiful skin.
ARGAN AND JOJOBA OILS’ INCREASE
Face oils such as argan oil and jojoba oil are excellent choices. Argan oil is high in unsaturated fatty acids, antioxidants, and Vitamin E, and is extremely similar to the skin’s natural oil. As a result, it aids in the prevention of obvious indications of aging and even rejuvenates the skin. It absorbs quickly into the skin, nourishing and moisturizing it. After cleaning, a few drops of argan oil can be applied straight to the face and rubbed in. It may also be used as a serum if only a few drops are applied. To prepare a skin tonic, mix a few drops of the oil with 100 mL rose water.
BENEFITS OF AN OIL COMBINATION
Face oils made up of a blend of essential oils and carrier oils, such as pressed oils, can help treat a variety of skin issues while also imparting a natural, healthy glow. Although jojoba oil and argan oil are becoming increasingly popular as facial oils, oils like sesame seed (til) oil and olive oil are still useful. A mixture of oils may be more beneficial in some cases. Face oil can be made from a combination of pressed and essential oils, or it can be made entirely of pressed oils, such as sweet almond oil, olive oil, or unscented oils for sensitive skin.
THE BEST FACIAL OILS
Other Let’s have a look at some different types of facial oils that you might use.
Basil Essential Oil
This oil is suitable for oily skin. It also aids in the development of immunity and the treatment of acne. It may also be used to revitalize and brighten the skin on regular and dry skin.
Oil of neem
This is a very concentrated essential oil that should not be applied straight to the skin. It has been used in Ayurveda to treat acne, fungal infections, and even warts in the proper proportions with sesame seed oil or sweet almond oil. As a result, it may also be used on oily skin.
Face oils from Ayurveda
The well-known Kumkumadi Tailam, or skin oil, is one of the Ayurvedic Face Oils. It has roughly 24 herbal extracts in it. Saffron, sandalwood, Himalayan cherry, vetiver or khus, Indian barberry, Banyan tree leaves, and other rare extracts are among the oil’s constituents. The foundation oil is sesame seed oil (also known as til oil).
Face Oil with Bio-Organic Ingredients
To preserve the face and restore optimal balances, we created Bio-organic Face Oil, which contains Vitamin E oil, sunflower and soya oils, as well as essential oils of chamomile, rosemary, lavender, and calendula.
THINGS TO REMINISE ON
When purchasing or intending to utilize essential oils, there are a few things to keep in mind. It’s important to remember that essential oils should never be used on their own and should always be diluted with carrier oils.
- When purchasing facial oil, read the labels to discover what’s in it.
- Check the basic oil or the base component. It’ll most likely be squeezed oil.
- Look for any reference of skin type compatibility.
- Acne-prone skin responds well to jojoba oil and Tea Tree oil, for example.
- Examine the manner of application as well. If essential oils are present, they should be used according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Check the scents used as well, since some, such as citrus oils and bergamot, may be photosensitive and react to sun exposure.
The appropriate face oil is the key to glowing, healthy skin.
