Why Skin Oils Are So Important to Use?
Skin oils are more than just a beauty trend. They are powerful botanical medicines that can benefit your skin in many ways. Whether you have dry, oily, blemish-prone or aging skin, there is an oil that can help you achieve a healthy and radiant complexion.
Skin oils can help to seal in moisture, restore the skin's lipid (or fatty acid) barrier, regulate sebum production, and provide vital nutrients to the skin — including a concentration of reparative and regenerative fatty acids. They also have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antifungal properties that can protect your skin from environmental damage, infections and inflammation[.
Different oils have different properties, depending on their chemical composition and extraction method. Some oils are more occlusive, meaning they form a protective layer on the skin that prevents water loss. Others are more moisturizing, meaning they penetrate deeper into the skin and hydrate it from within. Some oils are also more suitable for certain skin types and conditions than others.
