Benefits of cosmetic oils
Why oil, you ask. You can use your usual cream according to your skin type, and not waste time preparing homemade masks. You are right about this.
However, you will have to pay a lot of money for high-quality cosmetics, while oils cost pennies. Any cream works only in the superficial layers of the skin, but a natural product penetrates into deep structures and works at the cellular level.
Cosmetics give a positive effect while you use them, and oils have a long-lasting effect.
In addition, the likelihood of developing an allergy is possible only if there is an individual intolerance to natural components. While the cream includes many chemical additives, the skin reaction is quite difficult to predict.
Although to be fair, if you decide to use cosmetic oil instead of cream, do not expect quick results. You will be able to enjoy beauty only after 2-3 weeks of regular procedures.
Types of vegetable oils
Fatty vegetable oils
Fatty vegetable oils are oils that retain their consistency. They are in a liquid state and at a temperature of +20...25 degrees. These oils are used to prepare homemade cosmetics, handicraft soaps, and massage oils.
There are refined fatty oils and unrefined (unrefined, without additional technological processing).
Unrefined oils are healthier and better because they contain more polyunsaturated fatty acids, vitamin E and trace elements. Natural base fatty oils are not diluted. They are used in their pure form on their own or as a carrier oil for dissolving and transporting essential oils through the skin.
It is advisable to store fatty base oils in glass containers with tight-fitting lids in a cool, dark place. Use without heating.
Batters
Solid oils (batters) are vegetable oils that solidify at temperatures below +30 degrees. These oils are used in cosmetology to make natural creams, scrubs, lip balm and artisanal soaps. Butters are used independently, in their natural form and mixed with other fatty vegetable oils. Store solid oils in a cool, dry and dark place. Solid oils include coconut, cocoa, mango, palm and shea butter.
Jojoba oil
The beneficial properties of jojoba are determined by its composition. Vitamin E stops the aging process, accelerates cell regeneration, and smoothes the microrelief. It has a lifting effect, restores lost elasticity, and protects against the negative effects of free radicals.
Other beneficial substances create a protective film on the skin, thereby preventing moisture loss and preventing the appearance of flaking. They give the product softening, moisturizing, nourishing and anti-inflammatory properties.
The product can be used for any type of skin. It solves especially well the problems of sensitive, dry and aging skin.
