Back to Basics - Cleansing with Oils

Two fabulous oils I’ve yet to cover are Sunflower and Safflower Oil.  I love these oils for cleansing.

Why?  They are high in Linoleic Acid which makes them great for all skin types i.e. dry, oily and sensitive skin.  Linoleic acid can also help oil and water mix so they are also more easily rinsed away.  Where the oils differ is in their absorption ability so I use them differently depending on the type of cleansing.

Facial Oils

Is your skin feeling dry? tired? rough in patches? needs a boost? Is your moisturiser just not doing its job? If you answered yes to any of the questions above, then a facial oil can be a great addition to your skin care routine.  Think of it like a natural face serum, but only better.  It can be used in many more ways than a face serum.  It’s really up to you.

Drift Escentuals Organic Rosehip Oil with nuts and fish oil capsules
I love a good plant oil. 

They are the foundation to many wonderful natural skin care products – facial oils, serums, cleansers, moisturisers, body oils and lotions.  They’re pretty much in everything except for water based hydrosols & toners.  Not only do they hydrate, nourish and make our skin feel silky soft, they are rich in fatty acids which are essential to healthy, radiant looking skin.  So before  I spill on specific oils, it’s important to understand how fatty acids relate with our skin.
