Cosmetologists say: essential oil for the face, body and hair is essential. Especially for those who are going on vacation. After all, it is there that the main danger of summer lies in wait for us — photoaging. The benefit of the antioxidant properties of the oils help reduce the negative effects of sun exposure.
Another argument in favor of essential oil — its economy. In order to apply on the face, you need only two or three drops. And in hot weather — and even less. However, despite the commonality of tasks, the oils used for the face, body and hair have their own characteristics.
Essential hair oil and perfectly smooth ponytail
In order to protect your hair from fading, it is enough to moisten it with an essential oil that suits your hair type. The most optimal is argan, due to the high content of vitamins E and F. It thickens the hair, tones and regenerates the scalp.
• For an after-beach recovery treatment, add two to three drops of oil to a hair mask and apply along the entire length of the strands.
• To style hair, distribute two to three drops through clean, damp hair from mid-lengths to ends, then blow-dry.
• Hair oil helps to make a perfectly smooth tail. Rub a drop of light oil between your fingers and "comb" them hair.
Essential oil for the face: just two drops are enough
Soothing skin after sunburn will help oils with regenerating properties — roses, immortelle, borage.
• Add a drop of essential oil to your night cream and massage your face with it before bed.
• For oily skin, choose essential oils of marjoram, lemon balm, lemongrass — they tighten pores and have antibacterial and antiseptic effects.
• Ideal for all skin types St. John's wort oil. When dry, it should be rubbed into the face, and when oily and normal — combine with other herbal extracts.
Special cleansing oils even remove make-up and do not irritate sensitive or reddened skin after sunburn.
Rules for applying cosmetic oil on the face:
• warm the oil in your palms;
• apply with smoothing movements from the center of the face;
• let it soak in.
Body oils: smooth out the "orange peel" and remove toxins
No matter which body oil you choose — sunscreen, tightening or anti-cellulite — the visual effect of harmony is provided.
Cinnamon, cedar, lemon, mandarin, ginger, grapefruit oils are lipolytics.
• They have the ability to break down fat and smooth out the "orange peel". Such products not only strengthen the skin, but also remove toxins.
• To enhance the lymphatic drainage effect, apply toning oils in a sliding motion from the bottom up, starting from the left ankle. And do not rush to wipe yourself dry after a shower — On damp skin, the oils are absorbed more quickly.
• Use coconut, walnut and carrot oils only on the beach if you have dark or tanned skin.
