Natural Body Oils for Dry Skin

September 2, 2024 By in Beauty Tags: , , , , , , , , , , Leave a comment

I have been using natural body oils for many years and am glad they are now a main part of my skincare routine. Body oils are great substitutes for body creams and lotions. They are usually easily absorbed into the skin and leave it feeling smooth, soft, and moisturised. If you are dealing with dry skin and looking to add natural body oils to your skincare routine, here are some great ideas for you.

Natural Body Oils for Dry Skin

Castor Oil

I recently started using castor oil and I am blown by how amazing it is. This lovely natural oil can be used in a variety of ways. I usually add a few drops into my face cream and I also apply a bit directly to the required areas. Castor Oil can also be used as an all-round body oil. It contains Omega 6, Omega 9, and Antioxidants, which help the skin stay hydrated, soft, and smooth. Castor Oil is also rich in Vitamin E which is great for growing your eyelashes and eyebrows.

Here is a brand I have used before – Castor Oil.

Coconut Oil

Coconut Oil is one of my favourite natural body oils. I also use this oil for my hair and it works. If you are new to the whole body oil routine, I would suggest you start off with a bottle of Liquid Fractionated Coconut Oil and see how you get on. Coconut Oils can be used in many different ways and they are easy to apply, but I would suggest you avoid applying this oil on your face as it is rich in saturated fatty acids, which may lead to facial skin problems like acne and all. Like with all skin problems, always test on a small section before a full application.

Jojoba Oil

If you are struggling with dry skin and you want your skin to glow, Jojoba Oil is a great natural oil to try out. It contains Vitamin E and Omega 9 fatty acids which help balance the skin’s sebum production, leaving the skin hydrated, moisturised, and healthy. I have used Jojoba Oils quite a lot, and my favourite is the Naissance Golden Jojoba Oil because it is natural, undiluted, not tested on animals, and easy to blend with other carrier and essential oils.

Almond Oil

This natural oil can be used on the skin, hair, and nails. Almond Oil is a great carrier oil for aromatherapy purposes. It can be used in many different ways. Sweet Almond Oil is a great option for anyone looking to incorporate this natural body oil into your daily skincare routine. It works so well on the skin and it can be used on all skin types.

Have you tried any of these skincare products before? Which natural body oil is your favourite?

Autumn is around the corner and I am looking forward to the season of layering. A quick way of switching up your look for the new season is to add some stylish accessories for autumn. You usually won’t have to spend as much when it comes to shopping for accessories, which is good if you are working with a tight budget.

If you are looking to add some stylish accessories to your wardrobe this season, here are a few options you may like –

A fashion accessory list won’t be complete without a classic bag now right? This luxurious shoulder bag by Prada is a fab option. I am a huge fan of luxury handbags, especially classic bags like this eye candy here. This accessory would be very complimentary this autumn season. Do you agree?

Product Review: Naissance Patchouli Essential Oil

August 15, 2024 By in Beauty, Product Reviews Tags: , , , , , , , Leave a comment

I always have a bottle of Patchouli Essential Oil in my bathroom cabinet. It is one of the multi-tasking essential oils, and I use quite a lot of it regularly. I am a huge fan of Naissance products. I use many of their oils, especially their coconut oil, which I use almost daily. This Naissance Patchouli Essential Oil is one of my favourite essential oils from the brand. It can be used in various ways and the quality is really good.

Here are my thoughts on this product –

PROS
  •  I love the rich texture of the oil. It is quite thick and feels great on my skin.
  • Like I said earlier, this Naissance Patchouli Essential Oil is great quality. It is undiluted, so a little goes a long way.
  • I like the fact that it comes in a bigger bottle (50ml), unlike most essential oils.
  • The fragrance is very long-lasting. It stays on for ages.
  • I like the fact I can use this oil in many ways. Sometimes, I dilute some drops in coconut oil and use it as a body oil. Other times, I put a few drops in my diffuser.
  • This essential oil blends very well with Lavender, Clary Sage, Geranium Rose, and the like.
  • Naissance is a cruelty-free and Vegan brand, which is one of the reasons I fell in love with the brand.
CONS

None. I have used many essential oils from different brands, and this Patchouli Essential Oil by Naissance is one of my current favourites.
