Let's face it. The choices in skin care out there are enormous. Do you go with organic skin care? Conventional? Use a tried and trusted brand or try something new? Or, use the most recent looking in ingredients or maybe you don't even worry about what's in your product as long as your skin is soft, supple, and blemish-free.
Using oil on the face was out of favor when I was younger, as part of a skin care regimen, but new oils and new ways of using oils are production them more important these days. I've chosen three oils currently available to profile for you, to let you decide which might be best for you.
Argan, Olive, or Rosehip? Which Oil Is Right For You?
I'm all about organic, so I suggest you make sure what you apply to your skin is pesticide-free, as pure as possible. It's easier than ever to find what you want, either your skin needs anti-acne treatment or anti aging. Not all oils are created equal and some are to be avoided entirely, such as mineral oil. Mineral oil is what's left as a byproduct when gasoline is distilled from crude oil. Not something I want to smear on my face. It clogs the pores and some sources say it can be downright harmful. In any case there are some more human-friendly oils that can improve your skin.
1.) Argan- Argan is a tree that's found primarily in Morocco. It produces nuts that are hand ground to express their oil, and you can search out both culinary and cosmetic grades. It's new to most of us, but has been used for centuries by Mediterranean women to soften skin, and bring health and a great shine to both hair and nails. It's packed with all sorts of nutrients that feed your skin: vitamin E, carotenes, squalene, omegas 6 and 9, needful fatty acids, and more. High in antioxidants.
It didn't always make sense to me that oil applied on the skin doesn't just growth the number of oil on your face, producing a mess, but then I may have been mental of the old days when I used products with mineral oil. Regular Argan Oil users record that dry skin is hydrated, production it soft, and that oily skin was reduced. As a matter of fact, Argan Oil seems to keep your skin from producing too much sebum, holding your pores clear, and helping to eliminate acne. Argan Oil has a balancing succeed on the complexion. Flush also decreased.
The drawback to Argan Oil is the aroma. It has a nutty scent, stronger than we who've been using delicately scented products are used to, and that may be off-putting to some. You can find products that blend Argan with other oils or ingredients so the scent is softer, or you can mix it with your own oils if you like.
2.) Olive Oil has been used for centuries as a beauty treatment in old Egypt and Greece. Most of us have cooked with Olive Oil and may not be so used to putting on the skin. But it protects the skin from environmental irritants, absorbs Uv radiation from the sun, and helps mend skin cells. It helps make the skin more elastic, and gives the skin a salutary glow. You can buy organic Olive Oil at most stores, or you can buy ready made skincare products.
