Not long ago cosmetic experts say we should use oil-free products to avoid clogging pores. But it’s time to change. Now many natural oils are our friends.
Unlike synthetic oils and minerals sitting on the the skin’s surface, today many oils contain antioxidants and omega, the precious gift of Mother Nature. These natural oils absorb quickly into the skin, plumping it while protecting the skin, preventing water loss and stimulating cell regeneration. Even acne prone skin will not be greasy when using natural oils.
Skin care experts like cold pressed oils because this process preserves the nutritional value of the oils. You should read the label and check if the ingredients will add any value or are just fillers. Try to avoid the one size fit all products, instead, use natural oil separately. Each oil has different weight and profile. Try different types of oil and find the right type that fits your skin the best.
