What if oil could replace all your cosmetics? Too thick, too greasy or even comedogenic, you think that oil is good to fry vegetables and that it has nothing to do with your bathroom (and even less on your face, body or hair!)? Come on, let's try to convince you that oil is an incredible ally beauty!
Oil on the body? It's sticky and it doesn't hydrate!
Pure versus dry oil
An oil is not necessarily greasy. Does that sentence sound weird to you? And yet, the oil can be dry! It is even a very common product in cosmetics. To obtain this non-greasy effect, esters are added to the pure oil. Reassure yourself that these esters are natural (derived from a plant or fruit) when it comes to certified organic cosmetics. Be careful, if it is a conventional product, it is often about... oil! The result obtained on the skin is satiny, the skin is even sublimated, and this is all the more true if you wear a nice tan!
Moisturize or nourish?
Moisturizing or nourishing is the question! Let's be clear: no cosmetic products moisturize the skin! And yes, what we call hydration is an abuse of language. Whether it is an oil or a cream, the objective is to prevent the water contained in the epidermis from evaporating. Fortunately, our skin can't absorb water from the outside because its role is to be a hermetically sealed protective barrier against external elements. Cream or oil, it's a matter of preference. Be aware, however, that oil is often more effective because it forms a real film on the skin.
Oil on your face? Hello blackheads and buttons!
No to imperfections!
You think oil clogs pores and greases the skin! Well, no! If you have a skin with imperfections, you may find a definitive solution to your problems by turning to oils. Very often, you are in a vicious circle: you unpack your skin because it is oily and has pimples. But it's the opposite: nourish it to slow down the production of sebum (a kind of natural oil!), which it produces in quantity when it feels attacked.
No wrinkles!
Highly protective, facial oils are becoming increasingly popular in the cosmetics market. The products containing argan oil are the best known because it is a precious oil that offers truly amazing results! This time, however, you are advised to apply it in the evening: your skin regenerates at night, it will benefit more from its benefits. No more pillow marks on the cheek when you wake up! During the day, prefer a light cream before applying make-up for a better hold.
Yes to easy make-up removal!
Removing make-up with oil, another of our crazy ideas? Not at all! Let's start from a simple observation: who has never seen his mascara flow on his lower eyelids? No one, because the process is natural: fat (in this case sebum) dissolves make-up and other pigments. Hence the idea of using vegetable oil to remove make-up! This is a fairly recent trend, but one that is already gaining popularity: the effectiveness of make-up removal is such that you can't go back!
Oil on the hair? Thank you greasy hair not very glamorous!
Silky hair
Last part to convince you that vegetable oil is your best ally: hair! To achieve the experience, you have everything you need in your kitchen: olive oil! Apply this oil on your lengths (avoid the roots anyway) then wrap your hair in a warm towel. Let it sit for 1 hour while watching your favorite show. Then do 2 shampoos. Zappe conditioner and mask for this time. Dry your hair and admire the result: soft, silky and light hair, all without frizz! The dream, right?
As a bonus, eyelashes and eyebrows provided
Last but not least, the latest tip for eyelashes and eyebrows: vegetable oil! What, again? Yes, here too the results are really convincing, especially with castor oil. Search before and after on the web, you will be amazed by the result! For eyebrows, apply every night with a cotton swab. For lashes, use a clean and disinfected empty tube of mascara. Take a cure for one to three months. And send us the pictures! ;-)
