But in today’s article, we will talk about how these essential oils can combat skin aging.
With a number of different essential oils out in the market, what should you be adding to your beauty arsenal?
1. Jojoba Oil
Jojoba (pronounced as “ho-H0-bah”) is native to southern Arizona, southern California, and northwestern Mexico. It’s one of the most hydrating oils in the world. Hence, you always see it as one of the main ingredients of a number of moisturizers, serums and cleansers.
As you age, the production of sebaceous glands becomes less, thus resulting to a dry and dull skin. By applying Jojoba Oil to your face, you will give your skin the nourishment and moisture that it needs because Jojoba Oil contains Vitamin E, Vitamin B complex, silicon, chromium, copper and zinc. Unlike Almond and Coconut oil, it doesn’t contain triglycerides which means that it won’t go bad quickly. You can use this as your night serum and a makeup remover for a beautiful, glowing skin the next day.
