Fed up with spots, acne or oily skin? Well my lovelies, check out my first post on skincare and how these three oils can make a huge difference to your skin.
You’re probably thinking what?
Well if your skin type is like mine, I was thinking exactly the same. Why would I try to reduce the amount of oil on my skin by adding more?! I know, I know…sounds bizarre right? Well I get bad acne like many of us do and it sucks. After doing a load of research, I was really hesitant to try it but I thought ‘what’s the worse that can happen?’ So I purchased myself Argan, Grapeseed and Jojoba oil.
What’s So Great About Them?
Argan Oil originates from Morocco and is also known as “liquid gold”…Fancy eh. Argan oil is full of antioxidants such as Vitamin E and linoleic acid which both act as an
anti-inflammatory.
Jojoba Oil isn’t really an oil but more like a liquid wax which comes from Australia. This oil/wax is great for the skin because scientists have found it is the closest to sebum- Natural skin oil. When this is applied to your face, it’s like it tricks the skin into thinking it has already produced enough oil; which means your body reduces the amount of sebum it creates- making the skin less oily! Another plus is the anti-bacterial and anti-fungal which can help reduce spots and acne.
Grapeseed oil…yep you guessed it. It’s extracted from grape seeds! Unlike the Jojoba and Argan oil which have no smell, this one has nutty scent. Grapseed oil is usually used when massaging as it is a great moisturiser…great for those of you with dry skin. It’s full of vitamins and minerals which help to tone your skin and helps with anti-ageing. Like argan oil, it contains linoleic acid.
Now I'm not saying it’s a miracle in a bottle where it works right away! But it does work! My acne started to get really horrible and irritated and i HAD to find something. Usually I would leave it alone when it gets like that...My acne refused to go.
Before I sleep, I remove my makeup and wash my face, then on a piece of cotton wool, I take a small drop of one of the oils and cleanse my face with it.
When I first started it, I was expecting to wake up with a disgusting greasy oily face but NOPE! In fact, my face was less oily than it usually is. My acne hasn't gone. But it has reduced a lot! This started to show after about a week.
Something to try
