Four Good Reasons to use Pure Essential Oils on the Skin - By: cedricrice

I have touted the use of natural oils for quite a while for skincare reasons and the more that I learn each day the more I am convinced that cosmetically there is no better way to go for all of your skincare needs.

More and more as I read I advocate that we don’t use creams, lotions and other processed cosmetic products on the skin. Now I know that I am behind the power curve on the use of natural products for skincare but now that I know better I’ll do better.

Cosmetic products are manufactured to make the manufacturer money. In order to make money on the product that they sell they need to do several things. First they need to get you to buy it. They will tell you about how doctors chose their product over another. They know that no one will ever ask them which doctor. They will say that eight of ten customers preferred their product, which may in some cases be true, but were those customers employees? What were the circumstances and conditions? Chose their product over what? They will use attractive packaging and beautiful models to get you to use the products, and they pay celebrities to lie for them. You need to judge products based on what they do for you.

Most lotions and creams contain only a very small percentage of the ingredients that they say they do. Lotions and creams may contain vegetable oils which do almost nothing at all to nourish the skin. They just wet it and make it feel smooth for a while. When the water evaporates you are back to square one with skin that is still dry.

I recommend the pure natural essential oils for various reasons. The first of which is they are natural. They do not contain any chemicals which will do more harm than good. They are oils which means that they will penetrate the skin, not just remain on top of it. They are loaded with nutrients which give the skin what it needs when you apply them. Remember that the skin is an organ and it needs nutrition also. The nutrition that these pure, natural oils provide is key in preventing the skin from ageing. Nothing can stop the process, but you need something which actually helps the skin over the long run. They all also have some type of antiseptic qualities so they will help to prevent the spread of harmful bacteria which causes skin conditions.

The essential oils that I recommend most highly for skin care are aloe vera, tea tree, coconut, and black seed oil. This list is by no means inclusive. This is just the top few and I would not argue with anyone who felt that he or she wanted to replace one or two of my choices with something different.

The pure natural oils are not processed which serves to remove many of the natural nutrients and beneficial chemical compounds. They may cost a little bit more than the cosmetic product that you are buying now but they will save you immensely in the long run. They will benefit your skin by a far greater degree, and you won’t have to use as much.

The natural oil also benefit you more in the fact that they have regenerating effects on the skin. They not only nourish, and support the skin they aid in skin repair and regeneration. You just don’t get this effect with most of the cosmetic products on the market today. Fragrance Oil Express
