Cosmetic oils contain many nutrients and vitamins that help maintain good skin shape.
All you need to do is read carefully the list of contraindications for the product you are using.
Some products can not be used around the eyes, while others are not suitable for oily skin. There are also possible cases of individual intolerance to certain components of the oil by the body.
If you do not break the instructions and do not smear the skin with an unsuitable product, the result will be good.
Each oil has a unique composition, is a storehouse of useful substances and has a different effect on the skin. Used in pure form or as part masks, creams, lotions and serums.
Pros and cons
The list of benefits of cosmetic oils is quite long.
- Benefits for the skin. Cosmetic oils nourish the skin, cleanse it well due to the fatty acids they contain and generally have anti-aging action.
- Low price and availability. You can buy oil in any pharmacy, the variety is usually quite large and the prices, by contrast, are not high. Given that the essential oils are not used in their pure form, but a few drops are added to some kind of base, such a jar will be enough for a long time. Essential oils are also cheap. This property allows the use of, for example, cold pressed olive oil, which can be purchased at a regular grocery store. One liter bottle will be enough for a very long time.
- Natural composition. The oils are extracted from natural ingredients and cleaned of harmful impurities. As a result, you have a product without chemicals and parabens.
There are not so many disadvantages, but it was not without them.
- The main disadvantage is that the effect of using oils is not as great as we would like. They improve the condition of the skin, but do not change it radically. In addition, you will not get results immediately or the next day. To notice the difference, you should use oils regularly, for at least a month, or better than two.
- The possibility of an allergic reaction. Like any natural product, cosmetic oil can cause individual intolerance, so it is best to have an allergy test before using it for the first time.
The best oils for rejuvenation
There are many oils to maintain youth. I will tell you about the most popular and effective.
Cocoa
Natural cocoa butter emits a unique chocolate scent. Contains many useful things:
- fatty acid;
- tannins?
- caffeine;
- xanthine.
This product has an excellent tonic and healing effect and is often used in lip balms, because it works great for dry and chapped lips.
Cocoa butter will not get rid of wrinkles, but will be a good prevention of their appearance, will protect the skin from the harmful effects of the environment and will help it rejuvenate better.
Deer antler
This is an amazing product that is quite expensive, but stands out from other cosmetic oils. It is made from young deer antlers and contains a whole bunch of useful substances:
- eighteen different amino acids.
- enzymes?
- glutamic acid;
- glycine;
- collagen, iodine, calcium, zinc and other trace elements.
This product easily penetrates the skin and activates the process of tissue regeneration, strengthens local immunity and increases blood microcirculation.
Jojoba
This oil contains a lot of vitamin E, which is a natural antioxidant, so it works well for dry and aged skin in the face and neck area.
Of course, it is not worth waiting for a 100% lifting result, but the elasticity of the skin with regular use of this product will become greater. At the same time it is absorbed well and quickly, which allows it to be used as a cream substitute and applied at night.
Beaver
If you are looking for the right oils to rejuvenate and regenerate your skin, take a look at castor oil. From its composition, it is almost 90% ricinoleic acid, thanks to which it perfectly restores dry skin and makes wrinkles less noticeable.
Coconut
It reliably protects the skin from the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation, so it is especially popular in summer in sunny areas. In addition, it also improves metabolic processes, so that the skin on the face begins to look fresher.
The advantage of the product is that it can be used to apply to the skin around the eyes and eyelids. Many oils can not be used in this area due to their extreme strength or heavy texture. Coconut oil is very light, well absorbed and the skin underneath breathes.
Sesame
Another product that, according to reviews, works well for dry skin with the first signs of wilting. There are many benefits to sesame oil:
- B-complex vitamins?
- vitamins E and C?
- phytosterols?
- trace elements (silicon, zinc and others).
- Sesame is a special substance that protects perfectly from ultraviolet radiation.
This oil is a bit more expensive than others, but it serves as a good prevention for the formation of wrinkles, makes the skin more elastic, removes dirt well and normalizes the sebaceous glands.
Linseed
This oil has the ability to tighten aging skin well, but it has limitations. It is heavy and therefore should not be applied around the eyes. There is a risk of waking up with swelling.
But this tool looked good in the neck and décolleté area. If you use it for a long time and regularly, the condition of the skin in this area will improve, the elasticity and tone will return.
Sea buckthorn
This oil is capable of rejuvenating well, but is not used in its pure form. You can mix it with a base oil of your choice, depending on your skin type. For a more intense anti-aging effect, I recommend mixing it with the contents of a vitamin E capsule.
Sea buckthorn oil cleanses loose skin, improves elasticity. If you use it regularly, wrinkles become less noticeable.
Olive
This product is useful not only when taken orally as part of light salads, but can be used to care for eyelids. Just apply a compress of olive oil on problem areas in the eye area for 10 minutes - and after several such procedures, the skin condition will get better. It is a common ingredient in many home cosmetic recipes.
Pumpkin
This product has a very rich composition, it contains;
- carotenoids;
- organic acid glycerides.
- phosphatides?
- Vitamin E and B-complex vitamins.
- phytin?
- stearins.
Thanks to this, it perfectly moisturizes the skin, protects from the sun, serves as a good prevention of acne, nourishes and reduces peeling. Suitable for all skin types.
Recipes
There are many recipes that use all of these oils for different skin types. They are often mixed together, with different ingredients for household cosmetics or added to enrich the composition in simple, inexpensive creams. For example, a mask of pumpkin oil (a teaspoon), cosmetic clay (two tablespoons) and ground cinnamon (half a teaspoon) helps with acne.
You can get rid of age spots by mixing a teaspoon of castor oil with a tablespoon of grated cucumber and using this mixture as a mask.
And from cocoa butter, you can make a nourishing cream. To do this, melt a tablespoon of the product in a water bath, add a few drops of vitamins A and E and a teaspoon of sea buckthorn and wild rose oils, mix well and use. Such a cream is stored in the refrigerator for several days.
conclusions
The use of cosmetic oils can help in a complete rejuvenation approach, especially if you do not have the opportunity to visit the salon regularly and buy expensive cosmetics. These are natural remedies that have good anti-aging action and do not contain harmful ingredients, which are so abundant in cheap cosmetics.
