Winter favourites: skin and hair oils.

In the country of my accommodation there are only 2 seasons---summer and winter.
There is very short spring and practically the fall is not felt.
Summer heat very sharply is replaced by a cool. Still yesterday we wore undershirts and shorts, and today put on jackets and socks.)))
With arrival of a cool, my cosmetic preferences also sharply change: instead of the means matting and narrowing pores, I need urgently moistening and deduction of moisture in skin.
Here I am come to the rescue by ukhodovy means with oils!
Naturally, I do not refuse water serums. But they do not give a uvlazheniye.
Therefore an exit one---to add skin and hair oil to habitual cosmetics. It is possible to put as an additional layer or to mix oil with cream.





Oil serums for a face (hair) from various known or little-known brands are familiar to much. How to use them? Very simply: to mix several drops in a palm with favourite face cream. Or to put over cream---oils will create additional protection of a surface of skin against evaporation of moisture and skin will be very happy.))))
Whether it is possible to apply oil serum under
cream?
Theoretically, it is possible. But only if your cream which is purely moisturizing, not having any assets demanding penetration through a horn layer of skin. Otherwise assets will not be able to achieve the objectives and will remain on a surface as oil will not give them the chance to get.
For example, cream with Retinolum. Retinolum in principle dries skin and it needs a uvlazheniye. Oil serum can be useful from above, after cream with Retinolum.
I use serum from the English Emulsion brand. It is almost unknown brand, took it on the stock, but before studied structure.
It contains mix of oils. On a look and on feelings this just oil oil.))) has no Aroma.


For me it is plus as I just do not transfer many aromas physically.
And oils in structure very different in properties and density.
Apricot kernel oil heads the list, then oil of nuts a filbert, jojoba oil (the most dense of oils, so-called vegetable wax) and further according to the list valuable and rare oils of various exotic plants, including raspberry, strawberry, a prickly pear, pomegranate, blackcurrant follows.
For fans of simple and convenient recipes, it is possible to take any mono - oil and not to look for exotic.



Lips especially suffer because of dryness during a winter season. I am come to the rescue by lip balm on the basis of oils from L'Occitan. It is my constant purchase time... in 6 months! So it is economic.
What gives to skin? Softens and instantly humidifies a surface. Does not get more deeply and does not provide accumulative effect. But with it lips look well-groomed, without cracks and peelings. The taste is not bitter, just oil. The structure is pleasant, does not damage health even if it is eaten during a lunch. Has no fragrance.




I tried to replace it with more budgetary options of balms, but only threw out money to burn... Really qualitative means for me only one - balm from 10% of shea butter of L'Occitan. And not because contains shea butter and other emolenta... It cannot be explained: its formula suited me as any others! Probably, everything is very individual, as always...





Dry oil from the legendary pharmaceutical Nuxe brand. It is fragrant mix of oils, humidifiers, air...
Its advantages---does not leave a fat film, long keeps aroma on skin, softens the surface of skin.




It is possible to apply to moist skin, hair and even to the person if the aroma does not irritate. But I on the person do not use. And here for tips of hair most that: fine aromatherapy and easy moistening.
What smells of? Smells in the summer (read this comparison on one of the websites). I am not able to describe aroma. Therefore "I will steal" the quote: "White flowers and vanilla give to oil flower aroma which is felt as warm and comfortable."
From myself I will add---I feel a jasmine and it is valid, warm aroma, dense...
Oil includes: tsubak, camellia, argon, almond, macadamia and others...
Does not contain silicones.

Hand cream with base and essential oils well protects skin from dryness, especially in winter time. Now it is cream from the Tisserand brand, but there is a lot of detailed creams and the choice always is.



That attracted me in this cream - it is its ease at structure, quite rich in oils. It well softens skin, does not leave a fat film and is quickly absorbed. Therefore I use it during the day when skin of hands especially suffers because of frequent washing and anti-septic tanks.



The only minus for me is an aroma. Did not guess with it... Does not smell of a rose, here rather other air prevails. They slightly irritate me, but quality of cream at height, and therefore I use it. Not to compare to a mass market, naturally...

Following favourite:
Universal face, body and hair oil of crimson stones. Here really universal as it is possible to apply quietly though on all body. In this oil there is nothing harmful, the cleanest product.




This quite fat oil therefore an expense at it economic,---you will not put much.))) It dark yellow, smells of autumn leaves (not raspberry, of course).
It can be mixed with other, more budgetary oils, if desired. And also, it is possible to add favourite air. But I leave it in an original form, so it is pleasant to me more.


Whether to use means with oils in leaving, depends on specific needs of concrete skin. Here the general councils cannot be given, everything is very individual.
That professionals advise: try various oils, without relying on others experience (positive or negative) and you will find the ukhodovy oil suitable only you.
Oils differ on density, but for the rest their properties are similar among themselves.
Unfortunately, there are practically no clinical experiments on use of oils, there is no proved advantage too. But oils are used in cosmetics already thousands of years... because anything was thought up better.))) It is a natural, natural product. It was tried to be replaced with mineral oil and vaseline and also silicones... But it is vain.
Though there are working and effective creams in which oils and silicones are combined.

All thanks for attention.
