Anti-Aging Facial Moisturizer Which is Oil Free?? An Insight…
The day has come to start applying an anti aging facial moisturizer. You have been advised to search for oil free anti aging facial moisturizers since according to your friends the oil will clog your pores, irritate your skin and you will break out in acne. Well, you have been advised wrong. Let me give some info on this subject.
First of all, a facial moisturizer without an oil base cannot be a proper moisturizer. Secondly not all oils clog your pores. It is a misconception people have that the oil in the moisturizer will make their skin greasy, allowing it to absorb dust and grime causing acne breakouts and roughened skin.
Let me first tell you which are the oils that will give you trouble.
Mineral Oil: Many branded companies use mineral oil in their anti aging facial moisturizer since it is an inexpensive oil. This oil has a tendency to clog pores and it is not a successful moisturizer either. Keep away from such moisturizers.
Olive Oil: This oil makes your skin greasy since it does not get absorbed into the skin easily. This oil remains on the surface and hence has a tendency to attract grime and dust and clog pores.
So then which are the oils that are good for your skin?
There are a range of natural oils that will not clog your pores. These oils not only have moisturizing quality, they have a medicinal effect too. These oils are absorbed easily into your skin leaving your skin smooth, soft, supple and looking younger and healthier.
Avocado Oil: Avocado oil is a potent antioxidant, contains vitamin E and Omegas 3. It is very complementary to our natural skin oil and is a powerful hydrant. Avocado oil aids in synthesis of collagen which keeps our skin healthy and young.
Babassu Oil: Babassu oil extracted from the seeds of babassu palm tree is yet another oil which is good for your skin. It is high in lauric and myristic acids. This oil has a cooling effect on the skin and is a natural moisturizer besides being an antioxidant.
Grape seed Oil: Grape seed oil is a powerful antioxidant and a great moisturizer. It forms a very light coating on your skin enough to retain the moisture inside and at the same allowing the pores in the skin to breathe well. It contains natural Vitamin E and is rich in linoleic acid and other essential oils necessary for skin health.
Jojoba Oil: Jojoba oil produced from the seed of the jojoba plant which is a shrub common in Southern Arizona. It is a magic oil for all sorts of needs. It is an antioxidant, has an anti flaking effect on our skin, it is very similar to our skin oil and an extremely effective moisturizer. Jojoba oil is also used for massaging, aroma therapy used in lip balm and in various skin creams.
Macadamia Oil: Another oil which is an effective moisturizer with long lasting effect. It has a capacity to penetrate deep into the skin preventing skin cells from aging and replenishing oils lost through the day.
There now, I have given you a whole lot of info on the benefits of various oils which are excellent moisturizers and medicinal and safe for the skin. So, don’t go about looking for moisturizers without oil and waste your time, energy and money. Instead look for moisturizing and anti aging facial cream with any of the oils I have mentioned and use what suits you best.
