What natural oils are good for the face. Natural cosmetic oils for face care

Women who care about their appearance are often interested in how useful cosmetic oils for the face can be instead of creams and how to apply them correctly. Herbal products contain useful elements, vitamins, and minerals. Thanks to natural components, the epidermis receives the substances necessary for moisturizing and nourishing, the surface of the skin is smoothed, becomes silky and elastic. It should be remembered that for each type of skin you need to use a certain type of product, otherwise you can get unpleasant results. Let's try to figure out how to use these compounds correctly and understand the tricks and features of their use.

Cosmetologists claim that natural oils are significantly superior to even the most expensive creams in terms of the number of useful components. The depth of influence of a product of plant origin also differs for the better. Thanks to its unique structure, beneficial elements penetrate into the deep layers of the epidermis, providing nutrition and hydration from the inside. The use of natural products immediately affects the condition of the skin - sagging disappears, enlarged pores, wrinkles smooth out and become almost invisible.

When applying oil to your face, you need to remember a few rules that will help you achieve maximum effect. The oily liquid can be used as a mask, makeup remover, or cream. Due to the composition and structure similar to human fat, the product of plant origin is perfectly accepted by the skin and practically does not cause adverse reactions.

Helpful advice! You should not use the product without first determining whether it is suitable for your skin type. A consultation with a cosmetologist will help you avoid mistakes, who will tell you in detail the features of using the composition and advise which one to choose for everyday care.


The main thing to remember when using cosmetic oils for facial skin instead of cream is that everything should be in moderation. There is no need to overuse natural ingredients - without professional means it will not be possible to provide the epidermal tissue with everything necessary. Cosmetologists recommend combining drugs for good results.

When planning to use a product of plant origin for facial care, you need to remember that oil:

  • does not contain substances necessary for the epidermis - peptides, water-soluble minerals and vitamins, fruit hydroacids, without which one should not hope for adequate nutrition of the skin;
  • is not able to cope with the fat barrier on the surface of the dermis, with regular use it increases the untidy shine, and turns dry skin into a depleted “parchment” with spots;
  • is able to create a film on the surface of the skin that prevents the full enrichment of oxygen and the removal of harmful substances;
  • can destroy the natural barrier of the epidermis, neutralize protection from ultraviolet radiation and harmful external influences;
  • does not contain the water necessary for complete hydration of epidermal cells.

An oily liquid, regularly and in large quantities applied to the skin, can clog pores, preventing the removal of fat. This can cause the appearance of profuse rashes, spots, and blackheads. That is why it will not be possible to completely replace complete skin care with a herbal product - the consequences of such negligence are difficult to foresee.


Cosmetologists warn that if you use skin oils correctly, it is quite possible to cope with some defects. There are several rules to remember when using natural plant-based formulations:

  • the oily liquid is recommended for use only 1-2 times a week - this is enough for the epidermal tissue to receive the necessary components;
  • herbal remedies are well absorbed, but you must first cleanse the skin;
  • apply the liquid to the damp dermis;
  • do not rub with strong movements - use a sponge, which will help to evenly distribute the composition, after application, apply a light patting massage with your fingertips;
  • if the sebaceous glands are active, remove the product after half an hour;
  • Do not use different products (oil, cream) on the same day.

How to properly use cosmetic oil in its pure form:

Important! You cannot use an oily liquid to care for the skin of your face on an ongoing basis - this can cause rapid aging, loss of elasticity, and the appearance of pimples and acne.


There are several types of vegetable oils, each of which has its own characteristics, composition, and beneficial properties. Before you start getting rid of skin defects, be sure to study all the characteristics and qualities of the product. This will help to cope with many problems, improve the condition of the dermis, and enrich it with necessary elements that are missing in creams.

Helpful advice! Never mix natural oils with cosmetics - some elements may react chemically. The consequences of using such compositions for the dermis are difficult to predict.

Shi

The peculiarity of the product extracted from the shea plant is its unusual consistency. At room temperature, the liquid is quite dense and has a granular structure. Exposure to heat makes the product more liquid, which allows beneficial components to easily penetrate the dermal tissue.

The main advantages of using shea:

  • acceleration of dermal tissue regeneration;
  • increased elasticity;
  • overall tone improves;
  • blood flow is activated;
  • the skin acquires a healthy, even tone;
  • oxygen freely penetrates into the epidermal tissue.

It is better to use the drug on dull, dry skin prone to flaking and pigment spots - for oily skin it is better to use a different composition. It is recommended to actively use a natural product in autumn or winter, if there is a lack of vitamins or nutrients. Shea will quickly cope with signs of exhaustion, sagging, sagging skin, provide the necessary nutrition, and moisturize.

Creamy

Butter is a product rich in fats, so it should not be used for frequent use, especially if the sebaceous glands are active. It may be dangerous for those with oily or problematic skin - the composition can cause rashes, clogged or enlarged pores. It is recommended to use a rich cream or cream-based face oil in winter, when intensive nutrition and protection from chapping are needed.

Helpful advice! Only homemade natural products should be used in skin care. Purchased products often contain harmful additives that adversely affect dermal tissue.

Almond

The peculiarity of the product extracted from almond seeds is that it can be used on all types of skin. Even sensitive dermis will certainly receive its portion of beneficial elements without reacting to the components with allergic manifestations. It is not recommended to use only one oil in facial care - this can lead to the appearance of a greasy film or unsightly spots.

A product made from almond seeds actively affects various problems of the dermis - dries out oily areas and moisturizes dry skin. Not a single oil can cope with both problems at the same time, which is why this particular product is considered one of the most popular in home cosmetology.

Olive

Can olive oil be used instead of cream for an overly oily face? Cosmetologists do not recommend doing this - the liquid can cause rashes and pimples. You can safely use the product on oily skin - it will not cause problems.

The olive fruit product is especially useful for those with dry skin. It can completely replace moisturizing preparations - it will enrich the epidermal tissue with moisture, beneficial elements, and protect against the harmful effects of wind and frost.

Rosehip oil

The valuable quality of this product is the alignment of the facial relief. Active components can cope with scars, pigment spots, and old scars. Enlarged pores can also be narrowed by regular use of the drug.

It is not necessary to use the oily liquid in its pure form. The product goes well with various components that affect the condition of the skin. It is advisable to use the composition after cleansing procedures that ensure deep penetration of active substances into the dermal tissue.

Coconut

Coconut oil is often found in face creams designed to treat dry skin. Useful components relieve dry, flaky spots. The product is able to provide protection from harmful external influences - wind, frost, ultraviolet radiation.

The product made from the core of coconut is one of the densest and most greasy, so it should not be used in the care of problematic or oily skin. Neglect of this warning can cause complications in the functioning of the sebaceous glands - they will forget how to function normally.

Peach

The use of peach product will have an invaluable effect on inflamed or sensitive areas of the skin. It is able to relieve irritation, while there is no film or greasy layer on the dermis - the product is perfectly absorbed. You can apply the oily liquid 2-5 times a day.

It is recommended to apply the composition on the skin around the eyes. Wrinkles are quickly smoothed out, the dermis looks moisturized and fresh. Bags, dark spots, and sagging disappear. The product can be left on the face overnight - it does not clog pores and provides free access to oxygen.


The use of oils in home cosmetology is one of the ways to get rid of defects, prevent aging of the dermis, the appearance of wrinkles and folds. When using herbal products, you need to remember that for each skin type you need to take only the recommended product.

Cosmetologists warn that thick, greasy products can only be used on dry, flaky skin. For skin with actively working sebaceous glands, use formulations with a light texture that do not create a film or cause an untidy shine.

Helpful advice! Before using the product, cosmetologists advise checking the dermis for tolerance to the components. To do this, apply the composition to your wrist, rub into the skin and wait until the next day. If irritation does not appear, you can use an oily product in facial care.

6) How often should I use facial oil? D For me, first of all, oils are an evening beauty ritual. Firstly, I have a little more time for myself in the evening, when I not only smear my face with oil at night, but can also do a 5-minute massage.

But you can not only apply it to your face at night, the oil can also be used in the morning, applying as a base for makeup. In severe frosts or when the skin feels quickly dry and tight, I also use oils in day care (using the same scheme, applying a couple of drops on top of the serum and/or cream). This gives the skin additional protection and nutrition.

Night facial oil bio-treasure Zerdana “Gold-bearing” from East Night.

This Syrian brand is mainly known to oriental beauties and you won’t find them in regular stores. I started my acquaintance with this brand with their oil for eyelashes and eyebrows based on usma oil (a bomb thing!). Well, I took a couple more facial oils to try, which immediately found their way into my rating.


The brand offers both “pure oils” and various mixtures, mainly with rather exotic and rarely found ingredients. The assortment is very large, so there is definitely plenty to choose from.

Gold-bearing oil is quite dense and thick, so I most often use it in cold weather and at night. I don’t quite like this packaging format (glass rod), but the bottle is extremely impressive, almost a work of art.

Oil composition: tamarind seed oil (Tamaríndus índica), night violet seed (Hesperis matronalis), ginseng quinquefolium rhizome (Panax quinquefolium), aglaia inflorescence (Aglaia odorata), desert carrot seed (Daucus sahariensis), Syrian lemongrass stems (Cymbopogon jwarancusa).

Whitening anti-rosacea mixture Dshansurat/Apple Petal from East Night

Compound: first cold-pressed oils: beautiful centaury seeds, jojoba seeds, macadamia fruits, red mulberry seeds, Lebanese poppy, amaranth tricolor seeds, bogaro seeds, essential oils: Phrygian cornflower inflorescences, Palestine lime seeds, odorless chamomile inflorescences, Peridian ivy leaves * indicating subspecies

Korean facial oil with probiotics, a large post with reviews of which was also on my blog. The oil is very pleasant, with a rather bright pink scent (which is not an acquired taste, of course), in a convenient package with a dispenser, which prevents direct contact with the product. Great for facial massage and also as a base for makeup.

The most expensive oil as in this review, which means the requirements for it are increased. Excellent oil! This is, indeed, a truly working product and you will get the pleasure and effect from its use from the first to the last drop. But!


As I mentioned at the beginning, I can’t say that this is the very best oil in the review. Even simple rosehip oil gives comparable results. If there is no difference, why pay more? Well, to each his own. I want to pamper myself and there is such an opportunity. Why not?

Compound: Only cold pressed rosehip oil

Price:t 403 rub.

This is probably the most famous facial oil in the review - Clarins Orchidee Bleue for dehydrated skin. Blue orchid is an exotic ingredient that is not often found in skincare products. This is probably why this oil is so popular.

I wrote a review of this oil with Clarins orchid back in the early days of my beauty blogging activities, then Clarins orchid oil fell into my


This is one of the first “ready-made” oils with which I began my acquaintance with this category. Because the first attempts were with pharmaceutical oils, which, objectively, did not work. I liked it and wanted to try something else.

I will always remember a life hack that was recommended to me by a brand consultant in a store. After applying the oil, sprinkle some water on it (hydrolate or thermal) Indeed, the oil is then absorbed many times faster, and the skin looks even better.

Clarens face oil for dehydrated skin is really very good, but now I rarely get my hands on it. I haven’t bought it for a long time, but I don’t forget.

Mad Hippie Antioxidant Facial Oil

Black cumin oil, also called royal oil. They say that black cumin oil can cure everything except death. In skin care, it is a natural, very mild antimeptic that restores the lipid balance of the skin and cures damage, inflammation and various troubles. on the blog.


I always have this oil on hand - I use it not only on my face, but also on my scalp, which in this regard is even more demanding on the quality of the oil than my face. But I’ll probably tell you about hair oils separately.

Compound: cold pressed black cumin oil

Price: 680 rub.

Do you use facial oils? Which ones do you like?

Cosmetic oils are very popular among the fair sex. And for good reason - they moisturize and nourish well, helping to restore freshness to aging facial skin. They are also completely natural, which makes them even more popular.

Kinds

Oils are:

  • Basic oils are those oils that are obtained by hot and cold pressing - coconut, avocado, shea, mango and many others.

  • Essential oils are oils with a characteristic smell and taste that do not leave marks on clothes and surfaces because they evaporate immediately. They are also called “volatile.” These are esters of orange, clove, cinnamon, lavender, mint, patchouli, eucalyptus and so on.

Beneficial features

The positive effect of oils on facial skin can hardly be overestimated. So they are:

  • Help produce collagen, which leads to prolongation of youth and later appearance of wrinkles;
  • Includes vitamins and minerals that nourish;
  • Suitable for moisturizing the skin and improving color;
  • Keep the skin toned and improve blood circulation;
  • Get rid of inflammation and redness;
  • Certain species have an antiseptic effect;
  • Almost everyone has a hypoallergenic effect;
  • Protect from the harmful effects of environmental factors, including ultraviolet radiation.

How to choose according to skin type

When choosing, many women and girls rely on a well-known brand or good reviews and are upset that the purchased product did not have the desired effect. The thing is that it is best to focus on what type of skin you have.

Dry skin

You should first moisten it with tonic or pink water - this will improve the effect. The best thing you can do for this type of skin is to moisturize it as much as possible. Oils that cope with this:

  • Avocado. A champion in moisturizers. Nourishes well, makes the skin elastic, and also provides protection from ultraviolet radiation;
  • Macadamia nut. Often used in anti-aging creams. Excellent moisturizing, which makes it suitable even for very dry skin that has experienced acne;
  • Jojoba. Absorbs well, protects the face from all harmful external influences;
  • Wheat germ. Rich in antioxidants.

Oily skin

Here you need to give preference to those products that protect the face from the production of subcutaneous fat and oily shine. Therefore, fatty products are not suitable in any way; here you need something light, such as:

  • Grape seed oil. Often used in cleansers for oily skin. Regulates water-lipid balance, tightens and eliminates oily sheen;
  • Hazelnut. Reduces inflammation, suitable for sensitive skin;
  • Jojoba. Suitable for oily skin too. Eliminates blackheads and nourishes. With this oil, scars from old pimples disappear, and new ones do not appear;
  • Hemp. Research in recent years tells us that it has bactericidal and anti-inflammatory effects. Helps cope with irritations;
  • Japanese camellia. Gently moisturizes, does not give greasy shine, cares for the skin.

Normal or combination skin

  • Jojoba. Valuable and effective oil for all skin types, moisturizes without being greasy, takes good care and nourishes;
  • Almond oil is good not only for care, but also for UV protection. Therefore, it is best to use it in the warm season;
  • Grape seed and its ester moisturize well and are often included in creams and scrubs;
  • Coconut consists almost entirely of saturated fats and also has a bactericidal effect;
  • Sea buckthorn products were made many years ago. It is known for healing wounds, dealing with inflammation and being good for dermatological problems.

Anti-aging care

Over the years, our face needs more and more care. It should be better nourished and saturated with vitamins and antioxidants. Oils that do this well:

  • Argan. Indispensable in skin care. Normalizes water-lipid balance and contains acids that nourish mature skin;
  • Apricot oil is famous for regenerating cells and giving the skin youthfulness, and also saturates it with vitamins and acids;
  • From rice bran. Rich in antioxidants, acids and nourishes the skin with vitamin E;
  • Mosquet roses. Contains a lot of vitamin A and is ideal for eye care;
  • Borago gives the skin youth and elasticity. It is not surprising that this oil is often used in anti-aging cosmetology;
  • Evening primrose eliminates wrinkles, but is only suitable as an addition to basic care.

Oils for skin diseases

Diseases such as psoriasis, dermatitis and eczema require special skin care. The following can help in this case:

  • Kiwi, blackcurrant and hemp;
  • Apricot, soybean, grape and baobab;
  • Borago.

You should start by applying a few drops to your fingertips and gently spreading with light circular movements over your face and eye area. Facial massage will also help. You should start it in the cheeks and forehead, and then gradually go lower.

An important nuance: you should use the product only if you are not allergic to it. It's quite easy to find out. Before use, apply a few drops to the sensitive epidermis of the wrist or elbow and if no irritation or redness occurs within five minutes, then everything is fine.

Homemade mask recipes

First of all, you should know a few rules for properly preparing masks from oils. After all, if you don’t follow them, there may be no effect.

  • Be sure to warm the mixture before use. Otherwise, it will not be properly absorbed into the skin. Heating should be done strictly in a water or steam bath, without using a microwave;
  • Mix all the ingredients before heating them and in equal proportions. The exception applies only to a mixture of base oils and essential oils;
  • Vegetable oil and essential oil should be mixed in a ratio of two to three drops per spoon;
  • The product should be applied after washing, preferably on a steamed and clean face;
  • You should make masks in the evening, when you definitely won’t be wearing makeup or applying other products to your skin;
  • Oils do not require rinsing, but if you feel uncomfortable, you can cleanse your face with toner or micellar water.

Preparing masks at home is an easy and healthy activity, since you choose the ingredients yourself and know what exactly is contained in each product.

  • For dry skin care. First of all, you need to take some vegetable oil and heat it. Take gauze, having previously cut out holes for the nose, eyes and mouth, soak it in warm oil and place it on your face. After fifteen minutes, remove the napkin and wipe your face with water. Take dried chamomile flowers and strings - a tablespoon of each - and pour three tablespoons of olive oil. Place the resulting mixture in a water bath for ten minutes, cool, then take a teaspoon of the mixture and grind it with the yolk. The mask is ready, now you just need to apply it in a thin layer on your face and leave for fifteen minutes. And then wipe your face with tea leaves.

Cosmetic facial oils, which have recently become so popular, are one of the most indispensable and unique products in cosmetology for complete, regular and very effective care for any skin type.

These unique products are obtained by cold pressing only from natural, plant-based raw materials. These can be fruit seeds, nuts, grains. So there is no doubt about the naturalness of these products. And that is why they have such instant and guaranteed effectiveness. The miraculous effectiveness of cosmetic oils for the face is due to several factors:

  1. absence of “chemistry”, synthetics, dyes, preservatives and other harmful substances: it is a natural complex of vitamins, fatty acids, micro- and macroelements, biologically active substances and other components necessary for the skin;
  2. their composition is as close as possible to the composition of sebum produced by human glands, which is why they are so beautifully and naturally perceived by the skin;
  3. They rarely provoke an allergic reaction, so they are perfect for complete care of the most sensitive skin.

Natural cosmetic oils at home can be safely used for all skin types, but the main indications for their use are dry, aging skin, parched and aging, around the eyes. Their main effect is nutrition, moisturizing, softening, rejuvenation, elimination of wrinkles, lifting, increasing skin tone and elasticity.

Coconut oil is probably one of the best natural moisturizing oils because it is so versatile. Its amazing antioxidant and antimicrobial properties will help keep your facial skin healthy and hydrated. Moreover, coconut oil has anti-inflammatory properties, making it an excellent cosmetic product for those with sensitive and dry skin.

Coconut oil is obtained from coconut pulp, which contains about 65% valuable oil. For the skin of the face and body, we recommend using refined, purified oil that is fairly transparent and without a pronounced odor. It is non-allergenic and does not clog pores. Apply it to clean skin of the face and neck in a thin, even layer at night as a nourishing cream or during the day to protect the skin of the face in severe frost and wind or in hot sunny weather.

You can also do face mask with the addition of essential oils (for example, lavender). Leave it on your skin for 15 minutes and then rinse with warm water and you will see your skin instantly smoother, more hydrated and elastic.

The best cosmetic oils - almond oil

Almond oil is one of the best natural facial oils. Its popularity is primarily due to the fact that it is non-greasy, making it ideal for all skin types. Vitamins E and A, which are part of almond oil, promote good skin hydration, slow down the aging process and protect against UV radiation. Vitamin F helps normalize the functioning of the sebaceous glands and prevent enlarged pores on the face, and zinc, which the oil is especially rich in, makes it an ideal cosmetic product for treating skin irritations and reducing scars.

Almond oil can also be used undiluted as a stand-alone product or added to your cream before applying to the face or eyelids.

Sesame oil

Sesame oil is a natural and effective product used for daily skin care. It is very rich in antioxidants and minerals and also contains the active ingredient sesamol, which helps protect the skin from harmful UV rays. Other beneficial components of sesame oil include lecithin, protein and B vitamins.

Mix 50 ml apple cider vinegar, 100 ml sesame oil and 50 ml warm water. Use this mixture as a moisturizing night cream. You will very soon see the result - healthier, moisturized and smoothed facial skin.

Also, due to its good penetrating and cleansing ability, sesame oil can be used as a natural means for removing dirt or decorative cosmetics.

Jojoba oil

Jojoba oil is another amazing natural facial oil that absorbs well into the skin, is non-greasy, and also works well when mixed with other oils (like olive or coconut oil). This is one of the best moisturizers, which also has antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties.

Jojoba oil is an excellent choice for oily and acne-prone skin, as it can balance sebum production and tighten pores.

Rosehip seed oil

Rosehip oil is an ideal natural facial oil because it smells divine, absorbs quickly into the skin, and works well to even out your complexion and get rid of blemishes and acne scars. Plus, it's very rich in vitamin C, an important nutrient for keeping skin healthy.
