Vegetable oils, floral water, essential oils... You keep hearing about it, but you don't know which vegetable oil to use for the skin? You do not dare to put oil on your face? Veld's makes you discover all the benefits of vegetable oils:you won't be able to do without them!
So as not to confuse vegetable oils, essential oils and olive oil from your kitchen, here is what you should remember about this new natural facial treatment! Derived from an oleaginous plant (nuts, seeds or fruits with lipids), vegetable oil is composed of essential fatty acids .
Most can be eaten, but they are also used in cosmetics due to their fatty acid content. Our skin loves them:they moisturize and protect it to guarantee suppleness and elasticity. In addition, it is natural and gentle on the skin!
For better quality, always favor cold-extracted oils:the content of essential fatty acids and natural antioxidants is better preserved.
Vegetable oils do not all have the same properties depending on the plant used during maceration. By knowing them better, you will finally understand which vegetable oils are suitable for your skin!
Need to remove your makeup? To cleanse your skin? To moisturize it deeply or to fight excess sebum? Vegetable oil is your best ally and saves you in all situations!
For gentle make-up removal , but which even removes waterproof mascara and stubborn residue, opt for a vegetable oil. Since make-up itself consists of lipids, an oil is much more effective than micellar water.
A vegetable oil can also become your daily moisturizer . But to avoid a shiny face, don't be too heavy handed! A few drops are enough to guarantee good penetration, without leaving a greasy film on the skin. You can then put on your make-up with complete peace of mind.
To enjoy even more the benefits of vegetable oil, take advantage of this moment to massage your face from the inside out:a real youth secret!
Finally, you can use vegetable oil as an eye contour or as a lip care. Bet, for example, on calophylle oil:it improves blood circulation and reduces the purplish appearance of dark circles.
Always choose an oil adapted to your skin type to take full advantage of its benefits. If you are allergic to tree nuts, be on the safe side and always test the oil on the crease of your elbow before applying it to your face. To help you find your way around, here are the vegetable oils adapted to different skin types.
Does your skin feel tight and reddened easily? It has lost its suppleness and your complexion is dull? So you have dry skin, thinner than others. To prevent the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, your skin needs lipids to perform its protective role.
Bet on protective and restructuring oils like avocado oil or damask rose oil. You can find the latter in our Pure Pulp Neo treatment, a repairing and protective gel that nourishes the skin in depth :plumped and comfortable face at the rendezvous!
Appearance of expression lines, loss of firmness and elasticity... Your skin needs to regain its youthfulness! The ideal solution:vegetable oils rich in omega 6, retinoids and antioxidants . You can turn to argan oil, evening primrose oil or coconut oil.
If you don't like the oily texture of oils, try a cream containing vegetable oils for a perfect compromise! Our anti-wrinkle balm formulated with coconut oil and passion fruit oil combines the benefits of vegetable oils with a light texture. Rich in antioxidants, this balm prevents skin aging and brings vitality and suppleness:guaranteed youthful look!
Do you think you shouldn't put fat on fat? Are you afraid that the oil will grease your skin? Think again!
Oily skin produces excess sebum to defend itself against aggression and it needs to regain a balance between lipids and water.
Bet on light and penetrating oils, which nourish the skin without leaving a greasy film. Some, such as jojoba or hazelnut oil, can rebalance sebum production :your skin has a sufficient supply of lipids, so it becomes oily much less quickly! To limit the appearance of pimples and blackheads, avoid comedogenic oils (coconut, sweet almond, calendula).
