Have you tried every skin product you can find- from moisturizers to facial scrubs to facial cleansers- just because you want to have a glowing skin? Some people even spend extra time and money at beauty spa for facial wash and treatment. Worry no more cos i have a secret that might just be the answer to your facial problem. FACIAL OIL!!!
Yes, Facial oils are essential oils from natural sources, and they’re becoming more and more popular as experts and consumers see what they can do for skin (hydrate, reduce inflammation, etc.). When we think of oil, it brings back memories of mineral oil, used in the past industrially. Today’s oils are quite different, and are pure and cosmetic-grade. Using facial oil is simple. All you do is wash your face, dry it, drip a few drops of oil onto your hands, and then spread it gently and evenly over your face once in d morning and once before bed. Not too much—a little goes a long way.
It’s better to use oils prepared especially for the skin. But if you can’t find (or afford) those? “Extra-virgin organic coconut oil works just fine.
OILS BY SKIN TYPE
The great thing about oils is that, apparently, everyone can use them. Dry, sensitive skin? You can use oil! Oily, acne-prone skin? You can use oil! (Unless you have an allergy or sensitivity to a particular oil, of course.)
OILY, ACNE-PRONE, OR COMBINATION SKIN TYPE
Believe it or not, oil-based cleansers are ideal for oily skin. “Oil attracts oil and is able to penetrate deep into the pores for cleansing. So oily and combination skin benefit from oil washes. And as it turns out, you can used an oil-based cleanser or a straight-up facial oil to wash your face. Dampen skin, and then take a small amount of the cleanser or oil and massage it into your face for about a minute; then remove with a warm washcloth. If your face and hairline are getting greasy by midday after switching to facial oil, use less oil, or switch to a facial oil specifically designed for oily skin.
NORMAL OR DRY SKIN
Use facial oil as a moisturizer. Olive oil and coconut oil are great for dry skin. Personally, I am a fan of coconut oil.
INCORPORATING OILS INTO YOUR ROUTINE
The question on our lips now would be, "should we throw out our beloved facial cleansers, creams, and moisturizers in favor of oil? Nope! I think oils and moisturizers work well together. “There are water-soluble ingredients delivered by moisturizers that aren’t in oils.” So, if your skin is flaking and on the dry side, your skin probably needs the emolliency of an oil.
Armed with this knowledge, you are one step to solving that skin problem that seem very disturbing.
