What is the best cosmetic oil for facial skin - which ones to choose: tips
Did you know that any natural oil has a much better effect on the skin than any other artificially created cosmetics? Yes, even the most expensive jar of SUPER CREAM from a well-known brand may not cope with skin care, unlike the usual oil for “pennies” from the pharmacy.
That is why oils of various fruits , seeds and plants are becoming increasingly popular in the cosmetology market, falling in love with ordinary housewives and sophisticated beauty gurus.
Natural cosmetics are not only USEFUL, it is also very FASHIONABLE these days!
But don’t rush to look for any oil , buy the first bottle you see on the counter and apply it to yourself! Before you discover such care products, you need to familiarize yourself with their properties and effects.
All cosmetic oils are divided into several types. Among them there are so-called “base” oils, which are born without temperature, chemical or any other treatments. Only COLD PRESSED, which means that every drop of such a product contains only 100% benefits!
IMPORTANT: Each bottle, jar or box must have its own instructions for using the herbal product. Don’t be lazy and read it to avoid any unpleasant consequences (for example, allergies).
