Nature's Perfect Skin Remedies

Oil has long been considered as something that clogs the skin pores....but this is not true. After all, what i learnt in chemistry class is that oil dissolves oil....the right oils will cleanse your pores of dirt, bacteria and also heal and balance your skin. 

Reasons to treat your body and face with oil 

• Oil penetrates into deep layers of skin than creams (which are a mix of cream and oil). 
• Oils are rich in EFA's {essential fatty acids}.
• Oils can make cells less vulnerable to damage and give you supple skin.
• Oils are anti inflammatory....good for healing.
• They create a lipid barrier to protect skin from onslaught of elements  like pollution, sun, heat, cold and speed up skin's self regenerating process of healing and repair.
• They are natural sunscreen.

When buying make sure to get the most natural type of oil in their purest form....and always do a patch test first coz some skin types react to some oil.

Personally i use Shea butter about twice a week for very deep hydration....it helps keep my skin supple, sometimes i mix it with bio oil....but most times i stick it in the microwave to melt it up and use it immediately after a bath in the mornings.....let me know what oils you have used and how it works for you........Ciao
