Skincare Oils
Today more and more producers of skin and hair care products are acknowledging the benefits of natural plant oil for skin and hair care.
Plant oil contains Essential Fatty Acids that include the all important omega-3 and omega-6 which are very beneficial to our health. Essential Fatty Acids not only can be taken as a nutritional supplement, but they are also absorbed through the skin. They are highly penetrating which helps restore moisture to the skin as well as smooth, soften and tone.
Different oils will affect the skin in different ways. For example Rosehip Oil is used for its rejuvenating, soothing and anti-inflammatory effects on the skin. Carrot seed oil gives skin natural colour and nutrients as well as protecting it from Ultraviolet Radiation and other skin problems that result from the sun.
