Organic Facial Oils – ‘Liquid Gold’ for Skin
Dubbed ‘liquid gold’ for the skin, natural and organic facial oils have some amazing skin benefits and the potential to transform skin from dull to dazzling! Because the right facial oil can not only brighten your skin, reduce fine lines and wrinkles and keep your skin moisturised but also protect from environmental stressors and even help with acne and outbreaks.
Put simply, facial oils are specially tailored to work with your natural oils to help keep your skin balanced. Our skin naturally makes oils and lipids, which help prevent water loss from our skin and keep it hydrated. Facial oils are substances that help complement our natural oils.
If you think of the skin as a brick wall, the skin cells are the bricks and the oils and lipids are the mortar, which holds the bricks together in place by sealing in moisture and keeping the skin hydrated. Face oils are considered a type of emollient, which means they help strengthen the outer layer of your skin — the stratum corneum — by softening and sealing it, preventing water loss.
