Myth buster - natural oils are good for your skin

As teenagers, our first skin care advice most of us learned was oils were not good for our skin.

Well, we're here to change that.

All natural, fruit, nut and seed oils can have fantastic benefits for all types of skin, including oily skin.

Many of these amazing oils come from different exotic parts of the world. These oils have amazing protective, regenerative, healing and therapeutic properties.

So what are these incredible oils? Introducing goji seed oil, tamanu oil, rosamoqueta seed oil and seabuckthorn oil, just what your skin has been waiting for.

Seabuckthorn oil is rich in vitamins E and K, carotenoids, flavonoids and a near perfect ratio of the unsaturated essential fatty acids omega-3 and 6.

It's a powerful antioxidant, protecting skin from UV radiation and free radicals and accelerating skin regeneration.

Long-wave UV rays are known as the most damaging because they penetrate glass and clothing, including skin, to reach the dermis, therefore causing cumulative damage over time. Seabuckthorn oil had been proven to effectively absorb these harmful UV rays and protect the skin.

When used regularly, the oil will minimize and prevent wrinkles, accelerate skin regeneration, strengthen cells, reduces inflammation and improves microcirculation. Your skin will glow.

Rosamosqueta seed oil, also known as rosehip oil, is unique since it contains the bioavailable retinoic acid, a metabolite of vitamin A. Retinoic acid delays the effects of skin aging, assists in cell regeneration and promotes the increase of collagen and elasticity of the skin.

As it increases the skin's capacity to produce new cells and replace old ones, applied on a regular basis, this oil is an excellent aid in reducing hyperpigmentation, reversing UV damage, as well as improving skin tone and colour.

Tamanu oil is the ultimate rescue remedy for ailing skin and various aches and pains.

The indigenous people of Southeast Asia have used this sacred oil for centuries. It heals cuts, bites, stings, wounds, severe burns. Tamanu oil acts like a painkiller, it can relieve joint and muscle pain, sprain, sciatica, arthritis and rheumatism. It can also be applied to the neck to sooth a sore throat.

Tamanu oil is truly a precious gem in the family of natural oils, it's anti-inflammatory, a powerful anti-bacterial and anti-fungal.

Goji seed oil is new to the market, although the berry itself has been around for centuries.

This oil protects and repairs the skin by stimulating intracellular oxygenation, helping to restore the vital balance of water and fats in the hydrolipidic film of the skin.

Exceptionally light in texture, goji seed oil is perfect for the delicate eye-contour area where richer products often promote the creation of milia seeds, the white or yellowish little bumps that appear on the eyelids and temples. In fact, goji seed oil, can help remove milia seeds from the skin with consistent use.

What we put on our bodies is as important as what we put in our bodies. Natural fruit, seed and nut oils nourish, balance and protect our skin and allow the skin to breathe and do what it does naturally.
