8 REASONS YOU SHOULD USE FACIAL OILS

If you were told putting plant-based oils on your face brings really bad acne breakouts, think again. According to multiple sources, Ancient Egyptians kept their skin vibrant and flawless with morning oil made from almond, rose, oregano, thyme, peppermint, cedar, lavender and aloe.  Similar beauty secrets are making a big comeback right now, in the form of Meadowfoam Seed infused face oil products leading the way. In fact, according to top dermatologists, facial oils may be the missing step in your beauty routine resulting in consistent healthy skin. These natural plant-based products are non-synthetic and have a variety of benefits for your skin.

It is important to recognize that not all facial oils are the same. Many of these natural products can nourish the skin, while others and especially synthetic products can be potential irritants, so one must choose wisely.  This is where Meadowfoam Seed Oil with proven non-comedogenic properties, a.k.a (won’t clog pores), means a lesser chance of acne and blackheads.  Also, the fatty acid composition of Meadowfoam Seed Oil closely matches our sebum, a.k.a (your natural skin oils).  Thus, Meadowfoam seed oil is unique keeping dry skin moisturized and oily skin balanced.  Read below to determine why Face Oils should be in your beauty regiment.

1- They can reduce your wrinkles

Exposure to unprotected ultraviolet light such as sunlight will cause free radical damage to your skin and causes extensive wrinkles and sunspots. Facial oils from sustainable and reliable plant sources are often packed with antioxidants, which prevent further skin aging affected by sun damage.  Some of the leading Face oils for dryness, are oils containing Meadowfoam, Baobab, Squalene, Argan, Jojoba and Vitamin E base oils.

If your skin tends to be a bit shiny or oily, you should not be nervous about trying face oils.   Dabbing gently meadowfoam face oil will begin to balance your skins sebum, helps skin become non-greasy, and beautifully supple. After washing your face at night, dabbing a tiny bit of your preferred meadowfoam seed face oil to the forehead, each cheek, nose, under eyes and chin can be beneficial.

2- Oils are excellent for dry skin

Winter can be an especially troublesome season with dropping temperatures and low humidity that removes moisture directly from the skin. Face oils are an ideal solution for dry, flaky, and rough skin. Meadowfoam Sed Oil  is a much better and more effective moisturizer than standard over-the-counter lotions and creams. Meadowfoam Seed Oil is full of fatty acids leaving a luxurious skin feel without overt greasiness as these unique fatty acids are very close in composition to natural sebum and are absorbed very easily into skin. When you use meadowfoam oil on your skin, it locks in moisture and helps other ingredients penetrate deep into the skin as well.  Being a natural product, it is excellent for your driest areas and is a a good choice for sensitive skin types.  Rosehip, Argan and Almond Oil are also considered good oils for facial skin.

3 – Face oils can protect your skin

Meadowfoam Seed Oil is lipophilic and contains high levels of antioxidants.  The ease with which it is absorbed into skin makes it extremely popular with older women who use it as a moisturizer. Meadowfoam Seed Oil penetrates deep into the skin and the antioxidants it contains help to fight off the signs of ageing, such as thin lines and wrinkles on the skin.  These antioxidants also help fight toxins. Some oils also help to fortify and strengthen our natural skins barrier. This is important for city dwellers who need extra protection against pollutants such as smog, a known source of unwanted wrinkles. Natural plant-based oils containing antioxidants, provide a definite skin advantage.

4 – Face oils are an excellent make-up primer

Oils like Meadowfoam, Sesame, Baobab, Squalane, Mandarin and Pumpkin seed oils are quickly absorbed through the top layers of skin, settling comfortably into the areas that need hydrating the most. This gives an immediate plumping effect and creates smoother skin which is a great base for your makeup.  With smoother skin, the better your whole face will look.

5 – Excellent in reducing pores

Higher-end oils such as Meadowfoam, Macadamia, Jojoba, and Camellia may pull out grime and fats from pores, making them appear smaller and less noticeable. However, be warned: The proof is in the total formula. Unfortunately, oils readily available at the grocery store or from industrialized high-volume processes can give you clogged, puffed-out pores and then increase acne, so consult with your dermatologist before trying just any face oil claimed product.

6 – Oils are excellent against rashes

Many oils that are properly processed have anti-inflammatory properties, helping to quell irritated skin. Argan oil has been shown ideal for irritations that follow use of popular anti-aging products such as retinol or alpha hydroxy acids. Geranium oil is also fabulous at reducing redness from rosacea.

7 – Great for banishing acne

Meadowfoam and other known comedogenic oils (that will not clog pores), will not promote more pimples.  Facial oils are now made in very cosmetically elegant, light formulations that are excellent for layering and everyday use. Remember to keep in mind that a small amount of the right product goes a long way. Too much of anything is never a good idea.  It is important to recognize synthetic imposters and ingredients that are completely synthetic or do not add any value to the formulation, except to reduce the cost for the manufacture.

8 – Infusing oils with beneficial natural plants

Face oils now can be further improved in all the facets mentioned above by infusing naturally available plants and flowers into an established carrier or base oil improving the properties for use on your face.  This infusion process adds additional antioxidant and anti-inflammatory nutrients as well as provides additional natural sterols and vitamins to enhance the overall potency of the final formula.  Infusing specific plants such as Helichrysum, Calendula, Chamomile, Rose buds and a few others increase the carrier oils efficacy and skin potential, boosting  the overall effects of the combined formula keeping skin well moisturized, balanced, smooth and protected.
