It's been some time since I "discovered" the power of these natural moisturizers. Now my collection of cosmetic oils: coconut, apricot kernel, argan, sesame seed and rosehib seed oil to name just a few, has been enriched with these two: raspberry seed and borage seed oil. Why do I prefer cosmetic oils to popular moisturizers? Because they are free from chemical substances which the cosmetics today are literally packed with! These oils are all natural and raw. Whilst you apply them all you smell is a nice, delicate scent. On the contrary, while I was applying certain body lotions or face moisturizers I just couldn't bear the smell, it was so chemical and irritating! If you like it natural, once you try them I doubt you will come back to the stuff you had been using before. The only drawback of using these oils is the fact that they may soak in slower but if you apply them and then do something else (like your make-up for instance) you'll be set and go.
The advantages the oils have over the popular moisturizers are in plenty! You can apply them everywhere, on your body, face or even hair! Plus, there is a variety of natural oils you can choose from! Each oil has different features and can hepl you with different skin problems etc.
As for me, I have chosen the raspberry seed oil due to its moisturizing, firming anti-bacterial and sebum regulating effects. Moreover, it prevents acne, reduces wrinkles and has natural sunscreen. How cool is that?
The borage seed oil, on the other hand, is best used for dry, sensitive, mature and acne skin. Quite a variety, huh? It also has cleanses your skin, purifies your pores and has some peeling effect. If that is not enough, borage seed oil soothes inflammated or irritated skin!
Why then yield to the ongoing fad and buy stuff with traces of natural oils when we can use the very oils?
