FIVE REASONS YOU SHOULD BE USING OILS
For over 5,000 years, innovative and opulent beauty rituals have been performed in intimate and luxurious spas starring, you guessed it, natural oils. Ancient Indian royalty became the epitome of grace and splendor by embracing treasured oils from their family’s intricate apothecary. The warmed, golden, and aromatic oils were used for wellness rituals, centered around body and face massage. Let’s learn a lesson from our regal ancestors. It is time to ditch the toxic moisturizers with unpronounceable ingredients and discover five reasons why you should nourish your skin with oils.
1) Protect and Heal
The powerhouse of the beauty and wellness arsenal, oil can heal cuts, fade stretch marks and scars, and moisturize even the driest skin – yes, this fantasy is a reality, oils truly can protect and heal your skin. Facial oils penetrate deep into the skin, trapping water and other moisturizing goodness in, while keeping toxins and debris out. A nourished, hydrated complexion not only looks healthier but is healthier, too. Sweet Almond oil is packed with hydrating omega-3 fatty acids, making it a perfect moisturizer for sensitive skin.
2) Brighten Skin
Oils can revive that youthful glow and healthy complexion. For example, Alma (Indian Gooseberry) is very high in Vitamin C and can diminish the appearance of wrinkles, promoting circulation, and toning the skin. Luminous, even skin? Yes, please!
3) Reduce Signs of Aging
You don’t need a medicine cabinet full of anti-aging serums, creams, and treatments. Rehydrate your skin and keep wrinkles at bay the natural way. Oils aid in restoring collagen, soften lines, and help skin stay firm. Rosehip seed oil protects skin from environmental damage that causes lines and dark spots, leaving you with a youthful complexion.
4) Eliminate Hyperpigmentation
Do you suffer from hyperpigmentation caused by too much sun exposure and acne scarring? You can use natural remedies to diminish the discoloration. Ancient and exotic Indian Sandalwood is an incredible way to naturally even out your skin tone. This exquisite oil heals scar tissue, fades away acne scars, and helps diminish skin discoloration to even out pigmentation.
5) Fight Acne
Far from causing breakouts, good-for-your-skin oils can lead the charge in the battle against blemishes. Skin-pampering Neem is one of the oldest beauty ingredients for clarifying the skin overnight. It is also very beneficial for treating acne and blackheads owing to its anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, and antibacterial properties.
Incorporate oils into your beauty regimen the Ayurvedic way for radiant skin from head to toe.
