Top Natural Oils for Achieving Flawless Skin
Most people use store-bought, commercially produced skincare products. Unfortunately, most of these products contain questionable ingredients such as fragrances, phthalates, formaldehyde, and alcohol. Fragrances can irritate the skin and are one of the leading causes of contact dermatitis, which causes skin inflammation. Alcohol also damages the skin's natural barrier, making it hard for the skin to retain moisture. Commercial skincare products can contain artificial colours, preservatives, stabilizers, and various other chemical compounds which are absorbed through the skin's pores and can wreak havoc not only on the look and feel of your skin but on your overall physical and mental health. Let's explore the best oils for your skin and how to mix your own!
While it may be counterintuitive to some (especially those with oily, combination, or acne-prone skin), oils can be highly beneficial. Indeed, many natural oils, such as coconut, jojoba, argan, rosehip and others, can deeply nourish and moisturize dehydrated skin, optimize hydration, soothe inflammation, protect against free radical damage, and delay/reduce the visible signs of aging. What's more, the right skin oils can effectively regulate sebum production, thus, mitigating many skin and scalp conditions, such as eczema, psoriasis, acne, and even stubborn dandruff. Skin oils can be used alone or enriched with all sorts of essential oils, which multiply the benefits.
The Transformative Benefits of Incorporating Skin Oils
- Anti-Aging
- Anti-Inflammatory & Antioxidant Properties
- Balance Oil Production
- Hydrate, Moisturize & Nourish Skin
- Soothe Dry, Itchy Skin
Essential Skin Oils: Argan, Coconut, Jojoba, Rosehip & Tamanu Oil
There are a few skin oils to choose from, including isolated oils, skin oil blends, and skin oils infused with plant extracts to impart a specific benefit. Some of the most widely used skin oils include:
Argan – has been shown to improve the skin’s barrier function. Also offers robust anti-inflammatory and wound-healing properties and is recognized as a potent anti-aging oil that improves skin elasticity and reduces the visible signs of aging.
Coconut – an extremely versatile skin oil, coconut helps strengthen underlying epidermal tissue, remove dead skin cells, protect against sunburns, and provides a range of antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal and antioxidant properties to the skin.
Jojoba – better described as a natural wax than an oil, jojoba is exceptionally moisturizing. It can help treat burns, sores, scars, dermatitis, acne, and psoriasis and can even mitigate the look of wrinkles. In addition, jojoba regulates sebum production in the skin, encourages hair regrowth, soothes the skin, and unclogs hair follicles.
When it comes to the chemical structure of jojoba oil, it’s unique in that it’s a polyunsaturated wax. As a wax, jojoba is especially useful for protecting the skin, acting as a natural moisturizer, and soothing the scalp.
Rosehip Oil – is a rich source of vitamins A & C and essential fatty acids such as oleic, palmitic, linoleic, and gamma-linolenic acids. Rosehip oil has been demonstrated to be effective at reducing and reversing sun damage, mitigating the appearance of wrinkles, diminishing hyperpigmentation, and treating acne.
Tamanu Oil – is a unique oil which contains a fatty acid called calophyllic acid, a natural antibiotic called lactone, and a natural non-steroid anti-inflammatory called calophyllolide. These compounds impart tamanu oil with its remarkable ability to calm and soothe conditions such as eczema, acne, and irritation. It is also ideal for reducing the appearance of hyperpigmentation and fine lines, and wrinkles.
Concluding Insights: Elevating Your Skincare with Oils
Skin oils can take your beauty routine from 0 to 100 overnight, but selecting an oil that matches your needs and skincare goals is essential. When using a new product on your skin, even natural skin care products, start with a small amount and gradually increase until you achieve the desired results. This is especially critical if you're adding plant extracts (essential oils) to your face oil to gauge your skin's sensitivity and prevent any reactions because essential oils can sometimes be irritating.
