5 Reasons Why You Should Include Natural Oils in Your Skin Care

From addressing scars to aging, dryness to oiliness, scalp to skin, oils are becoming more and more the beauty industry's go-to for all-natural and effective top-to-toe skin solutions. Finally, women are starting to do away with products with potentially harmful chemicals and instead are using natural oils to get that healthy, radiantly beautiful skin.

And here's why you should start using oils in your skin care, too:

1. They can help reduce wrinkles and keep skin radiant.

Most natural oils are rich with antioxidants and vitamins which are just what your skin needs to protect itself from two major causes of wrinkles and sunspots: UV rays and free radicals. Natural blends like rosehip, sunflower, elemi and rosemary oils, when paired with anti-aging Vitamins C and E, can help keep skin radiant and young-looking.

2. They can effectively reduce pimples and prevent breakouts.

Contrary to popular belief, putting on oils won't make your face breakout when using the right oils at the right amount. Tea tree oil is traditionally used as an effective and natural way of treating pimples, and jojoba oil can help reduce oil production to prevent breakouts.

3. They can help shrink enlarged pores.

High quality oils like sunflower oil can actually pull out deep-seated dirt and grime from pores, making them look smaller and less noticeable.

4. They're excellent skin moisturizers. (Perfect for especially dry skin!)

Unlike your usual lotions and moisturizers, most natural oils penetrate deep into your skin. This plus the fact that they're naturally rich with vitamins and nutrients makes them an excellent way of getting needed added moisture into your skin fast. Passion fruit seed oil and avocado oil are two of such oils that can give skin intense hydration.

5. They provide intense nourishment and superior skin protection.

Oils do double duty for your skin: they keep natural moisture and other goodness in while strengthening your natural skin barrier to keep free radicals and pollutants out. This comes especially handy for city dwellers who are exposed daily to smog and exhaust fumes as well as skin-drying airconditioning.
