It seems that every month there’s a new oil trending on Twitter that promises to make you look 20 years younger and take away those deepening lines and annoying age spots.

News flash!

The hype isn’t just hype.

Natural oils are free from the parabens found in many cosmetics and are actually nature’s skin nourishers.

Many are easily absorbed and because they are packed with antioxidants and goodness, they can help keep skin and hair healthy as well as working on stubborn problem areas.

With so many products on the market, it is hard to know where to start. Do not worry; whatever your beauty requirements, we think we have found a natural oil that is right for you.

Anti-ageing is something many people are concerned about and coconut oil is becoming a popular choice. This go-to anti-ageing winner can help protect skin from the effects of the free radicals that cause lines and wrinkles. Experts believe medium and short chain fatty acids penetrate the deeper skin layer and connective tissues making skin look young and dewy again. It is also packed with lauric acid, which can help with inflammation, another potential cause of skin ageing. As well as applying the oil directly to the skin as either a make-up remover or moisturiser, you can also reap the benefits by using it in cooking and in dressings.

You might think that adding oil to acne prone skin would make it worse, but Rosa Mosqueta oil is super-rich in Vitamin A, which can help spots and blemishes. Vitamin A is the main ingredient in pro-retinol, which is well known for its benefits for dealing with acne and problem skin. Rosa Mosqueta also contains more Vitamin C than oranges and is rich in other bioactive ingredients that help tissue-regeneration. This multi-purpose oil is also great for treating age spots, stretch marks and scars and can ease issues such as eczema and psoriasis. The easiest way to use this oil is to add one drop to three teaspoons of olive oil and apply to damp skin and leave on overnight.

If it is soft, supple skin you want, look no futher than the sweet almond oil. Found in the kernels of the almond tree this light oil is easily absorbed leaving skin silky not greasy. It also contains the plant flavonoids quercetin and kaempferol that are thought to protect the skin from sun damage. Whilst it is suitable for all skin types, take care if you have nut allergy and speak to your GP before using it.

Isn’t just our skin that can benefit from natural oils, so can our hair. Rather than causing lankness, Moroccan Argan oil leaves hair soft and glossy. This light, easily absorbed oil also has high levels of Vitamin E and omega 3 and 9 fatty acids making it the perfect solution for dry, brittle, colour-treated and over-styled hair. Simply massage a little oil into the hair overnight and wash away in the morning to reveal sleek, glossy locks.

Why not give these a go and let us know what you think?
