I am obsessed with finding thé best products for my naturally curly hair and oils are an essential part of my healthy hair routine. After doing research on the benefits organic oils for healthy hair and having seen great results firsthand, I dabbled into testing cleansing oils for my skin as well. Now, I went from having extremely dry skin to very oily skin while pregnant with my son. I can now say, that my skin has found its equilibrium: dry-combination, with the notorious T-zone around the nose and chin. I also tend to have the occasional onslaught of eczema, however, this is mainly linked to stress and nutrition.
Using conventional skincare cleansers leads to stripping the natural oils from the skin, resulting in the skin having to over-compensate for moisture loss and restoring the oil that has been lost. The most important fact to keep in mind is that like dissolves like: oil dissolves oil. The skin requires oil. The skin creates it naturally and applying oil to your skin is not the reason why skin irritations or blemishes occur. These are due to factors such as dead skin cells, fragrances, hormones and bacteria.
Natural and organic skin oils contain vitamins, nutrients and fatty acids that are important for the health and maintenance of the skin. The oil applied to the skin, dissolve the oils that have accumulated on its surface and removes it. When choosing skin oils, read the labels carefully. Organic, unrefined, cold pressed vegetable or nut oils are ideal. Jojoba oil, for example, has a similar structure to the oil our skin produces.
Recently, I splurged on the Badger Balm Argan Face Cleaning Oil. It is organically certified and includes jojoba, castor, argan and sunflower oils. These oils nourish, deeply cleanse and revitalize the skin. The trick is to apply the oil to dry skin using gentle, massaging motions. Then drape a warm cloth on your face to release any impurities and buildup. Follow with a moisturizer or face oil for gorgeously beautiful and radiant skin!
