So, I've heard of using EVOO, but what about extra virgin coconut oil? Is it better, worse? Any other natural suggestions?
Answer
Personally I would recommend using Jojoba Oil
Jojoba oil is particularly good for skincare. It penetrates into the skin and does not clog pores and can be used on all types of skin. The vitamin E and antioxidants in this oil are great for fighting aging signs and moisturizing the skin. Jojoba oil is also antibacterial making it great for treating acne breakouts.
You may find the following information on some other oils useful:
Sweet Almond - very moisturising, rich in EFAs and vitamins A & E. Light both in odour and colour and while it is suitable for all skin types, is particularly useful for dry or sensitive skin.
Apricot Kernel - similar to Sweet Almond oil chemically, but with a wonderfully light consistency and aroma making it particularly suitable for facial massage and treatments.
Grapeseed Oil - a light, gentle, emollient oil with a low odour and good penetration. Readily absorbed by the skin and carries a low risk of allergy.
Jojoba Oil - not an oil , but a liquid wax, with natural moisturising and healing properties and suitable for all skin types. Like grapeseed oil, it is not a nut oil so very suitable for those with sensitive skin.
Macadamia Nut Oil - a thick oil recommended for mature or very dry skin due to its high levels of palmitoleic acid, a mono-unsaturated fatty acid not found in most oils.
These oils can be used singly or in combination and may benefit from the addition of other oils such as -
Evening primrose oil - rich in EFA's and in particular GLA, it is very moisturising and rejuvenating, softening and smoothing the skin. It is particularly useful for excessively dry skin or for mature skin.
Rosehip oil - high in EFA's and vitamin C. Emollient and readily absorbed into the skin and is particularly useful for mature, dry or damaged skin.
Wheatgerm Oil - renowned for its high content of Vitamin E, an antioxidant, as well as fatty acids and is particularly useful for dry or mature skin.
Hope this helps!
