Delicious lubrication: five nourishing oils for hair and skin – Beauty

Oils are not only popular in the kitchen, but are also increasingly finding their way to the bathroom. How to choose the right oil from the huge offer? Discover it in this list of the five most common oils and their use.

Jojoba is one of the most commonly used oils and is very versatile. This delicious oil is extracted from the seeds of the jojoba bush. The name is somewhat misleading because it is not technically oil. It is actually a liquid wax and therefore has a different composition than most oils.

Jojoba oil naturally contains a lot of vitamin E. This vitamin acts as an antioxidant; In other words, it neutralizes the harmful influence of free radicals that accelerate the aging of our skin. Vitamin E is particularly evident in the area of protection against UV damage. Studies show that the degree of redness, swelling and cell damage in the skin decreases when vitamin E is applied to the skin before exposure to the sun. Not a fan of oil on the beach? The night before your beach day, lubricate your body until bedtime. In this way, your skin can absorb all these good properties and you just need to lubricate SPF on the day itself.

Pumpkin seed oil may be slightly less well known in the bathroom, but no less effective. This oil contains a combination of ascorbic acid (vitamin C), tocopherol (vitamin E) and retinol (vitamin A). Thanks to these properties, pumpkin seed oil is excellent for treating dry skin. The combination of vitamin E & C it also uses for the treatment of skin belts. Lovers of skin care praise the good for its firming effect on thighs, breasts and décolleté. Pumpkin seed oil is also perfect for nourishing and protecting the more sensitive skin, such as the lips. However, this oil is a non-drying oil, so if you are not a fan of a shiny layer on your skin, leave it better.

Almond oil is a light oil that retracts quickly and is therefore ideal for dry and/or aged skin. This oil is rich in saturated fats and mainly contains vitamins A, B and E. Almond oil maintains the moisture balance of the skin and thus reduces irritation. This oil also helps to prevent skin aging thanks to the high concentrations of vitamin B & E. Mix a few drops through your familiar body lotion for silky skin that doesn’t stick afterwards.

Olive oil is another oil full of antioxidants and a high dose of vitamin A & E. Due to its richer structure, it has been lubricated on skin and hair for decades. However, since olive oil is naturally made up of coarser molecules, it does not necessarily penetrate deeper into the skin layers. So use this oil better than Sealer after turning your body lotion or conditioner. The oil will put a kind of film over your skin and hair so that your newly applied product can penetrate deeper. And so don’t wash it away so quickly. Due to the rich structure of this oil, a few drops a long way.

Coconut is the most valuable player in the oil team for years. From demaquilleren to skin and hair care. Is there anything this oil can’t do? Please note that you are interested in an “extra virgin” or cold-pressed version. This option is slightly more expensive than the kitchen version, as cold-pressed coconut oil consists of crushed coconuts that are dried at low temperature. Cheaper coconut oil, on the other hand, is often made from copra. The coconuts, which are dried in copra, go through a long process in a refinery: pressing, refining, bleaching and desourous. During the refining process, a large part of the good substances is lost due to this repeated heating.

Cold-pressed coconut oil contains lauric acid, an antibacterial good that you can use without much worry on the acne skin. Also it is very fine in the hair, for example as a mask, which you can even have withdrawn all night. This oil is one of the few oils with molecules small enough that can really penetrate the hair. Lubricate it in your tresses at night before you wash your hair or as a leave-in when you go to the beach for a day.

Have fun!
