Knowing the answers to these questions is important in order not to make a mistake in the choice and get the expected positive effect.
So, what are cosmetic oils and how to use them correctly?
Cosmetic oil is a product created on the basis of vegetable and essential oils. Such funds are intended for skin care, nails, hair. Cosmetic oils have an excellent nutritional and moisturizing effect.
First of all, cosmetic oils are recommended for the care of dry skin. Owners of oily skin prone to frequent comedones, before you start using cosmetic oils, it is better to consult a doctor. Incorrect application of oil in oily skin can trigger excessive activity of the sebaceous glands.
Massage cosmetic oils
The name of this group of funds speaks for itself: they are intended for use in massage. Massage cosmetic oils and oil extracts are widely used in beauty salons, medical centers, SPA-salons, medical and cosmetology cabinets, saunas and baths.
Massage cosmetic oils increase the effectiveness of massage, have both therapeutic and preventive effects: anti-cellulite, tonic, anti-stress and relaxing. In addition, the components of massage cosmetic oils have a beneficial effect on the skin, improving its texture, normalizing lipid metabolism and accelerating regeneration processes.
Cosmetic oils for bath and shower
Before using cosmetic oil for a bath or a shower, be sure to wash: the skin should be clean until a squeak. By removing the excreted fat and a layer of keratinized dead cells, you allow the oil to penetrate into the skin unhindered. Thoroughly rinse off the rest of the foam, - it prevents oil absorption.
Another condition: the water should be warm, but not hot. Warm water promotes the expansion of pores and vessels, facilitating the absorption of oil. Hot water stimulates active sweating, removing accumulated slags and toxins from the skin. The oil will not have the desired effect.
And then we start manipulating the oil. It is best to first simply apply oil to the entire body - with your hands or using a sponge. And wait a few minutes, doing a light massage. Then rinse the oil with a jet of warm water (if you take a shower) or dive into a filled bath. If you are uncomfortable with the sensation of the film, which creates oil on the body, just dissolve some of it in the water, and already in this water lie down for 20-30 minutes.
In addition to the nutritional and moisturizing components contained in cosmetic oils for the bath and shower, essential oils are also present. These ingredients create a unique color and aroma of a cosmetic product, have an additional therapeutic effect. For example, the turn helps to remove swelling, coniferous oils - excellent antiseptics and tonic, eucalyptus strengthens immunity, chamomile - relieves irritation and soothes the skin.
After taking a bath or shower with cosmetic oil, do not wipe. Just blot out the skin with a soft towel. Better yet, let the skin dry itself. Do not use any creams. First, the skin is already well moistened. Secondly, they will not be absorbed into the skin soaked in oil.
Cosmetic oils for hair
Many cosmetic oils for hair care are also shampoos. They do really well affect the hair, making them lush and shiny. It is very useful to use cosmetic oils for the scalp. But they are not suitable for daily use. Apply cosmetic oils for hair not more often 1-2 times a week. And on other days use an ordinary shampoo, suitable for your hair type.
Cosmetic oils for nails
The main task of cosmetic oil for nails is nutrition of the nail plate and softening of the cuticle. Contained in the components of oils, valuable substances restore brittle and layered nails. In addition, regular use of cosmetic oil gives a well-groomed look to the hands, making the cuticle transparent and supple.
To prevent delamination and brittle nails, it is enough to use cosmetic oil 1-2 times a week. But it is better to apply it every day. Simply apply a drop of the drug to the base of the nail and massage it lightly into the nail plate and the nail bed (at the level of the upper phalanx). Best is the agent applied to cleaned and uncoated nails. If the nails are covered with lacquer, you do not need to spread the nail on the nail itself: rub it only in the base of the nail. In this case, the effect of cosmetic oil will be somewhat slower, but its active components in any case will work.
Of course, after daily use of cosmetic oil, the nail polish will be kept worse. Elastic and fat-saturated nail plate will repel varnish, making the manicure unstable. But 2-3 days after stopping the use of oil it will pass. A healthy and well-groomed nails will last for a long time.
Knowing how to properly use cosmetic oils, you can turn daily care of yourself into a pleasant relaxing ritual. This will help you not only to soften the skin, strengthen hair and nails, but will also give a boost of energy and a good mood.
