How can I use these products specifically for different parts of the regime?

Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Rosehip Oil
Glycerin



Answer
Jojoba oil is particularly good for skincare. It contains vitamin E and antioxidants is great for moisturizing the skin, and it is also antibacterial.

You may find the following information on 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!

Where and Which type of extra virgin olive oil do i buy for face scrub?




mike t


I'm planning to use it as a face scrub with brown sugar and honey. I have a lot of black heads and clogged pores on my nose that don't seem to go away. I was wondering where i could get it. Can i find in a everyday grocery store or too i need to find it in a health food store?


Answer
Any type works as long as it's extra virgin. I buy a huge bottle from the Indian grocery store. You can buy Organic if you can afford it, but EVOO is made without chemicals so regular is usually good enough.
