The natural oils are highly valued for our skin but there are still people who are afraid to use them in case the effect is not what they expected or if they can create acne breakouts. The truth is that natural oils are highly recommended to protect and hydrate the skin, so we will give you some recommendations to use them.
The natural oils for the face are beneficial, especially if we choose the oil well and how to apply it. The best care must always be taken for the face area, since it is a part that ages quickly, so that natural oils can become our allies.
We hydrate or moisturize
We are always talking about the fact that we must hydrate the skin of our face because it is essential to avoid dryness, aging and skin problems. But there are two concepts that are different. Hydration is bring water to the skin's cell membrane and this can be done with creams and serums, which is what we usually do. But if we talk about moisturizing, which is what oils usually do, we are talking about retaining water from the skin, maintaining the skin's barrier and its function. So we must know that it is different to hydrate by providing water to the skin to moisturize, that it is about retaining the water that the skin already has, protecting that barrier. That is why natural oils are so interesting to take care of facial skin.
Natural oils for all skin types
Although dry skin is ideal for all types of oils, we do not have to give up natural oils if we have combination or oily skin. There are different types of oils, as some have a drier texture that is highly absorbed better and that can be perfect for oily skin. In addition, there are nourishing oils such as almond oils that can be used in dry areas of the skin, but for the most oily ones, others such as jojoba can be used, which helps us balance it. So everyone can use natural oils but keep in mind that not all are the same or have the same effect.
How to apply the oil on the skin
These oils are ideal for our face because they take care of it and maintain the natural moisture of the skin. But when using them we must do it carefully. A misuse of oils can make our skin have excess oil and impurities and pimples appear. It is important to note that at most we must use a few drops of oil, since they spread a lot. These drops should be massaged into the hands to warm it up for application to the skin.
If we want to create a perfect base for our oil, we must clean the skin well and use a toner. Then we can use a facial mist to maintain the hydration of the skin and balance the pH in it. When is mist is on the skin we can apply the drops of oil in the hands and apply to the face with a simple massage. We massage to relax the face, to activate circulation and to let the natural oil take effect. Applying little oil is essential because only then is it possible to fully absorb it. With this, we will make the skin look more hydrated and smoother, because it balances and maintains its moisture from within, providing fatty acids. Depending on the oil we will achieve different effects, since for example rosehip is regenerating and pomegranate is rejuvenating.
