LITTLE INNOSCENTS NOURISHING OIL AND ITS MANY USES!!

June 30, 2020 /

At this time of year with winter creeping up, dry skin is something you expect, but don’t necessarily like.

Dry skin can be very uncomfortable and can be identified by itchy, cracked and flaky skin. Dry skin can affect any part of the body including your arms, legs, hands and torso. Even if you have naturally oily skin, your skin can still dry out from time to time.

Why You Get Dry Skin?

Some common reasons of why you might develop dry skin may include:

  • Pregnancy – It’s common for pregnant women to develop dry skin. Changes in hormones and the skin stretching contribute to moisture loss which results in dry skin.
  • Lifestyle Changes – changing products (bodywash, moisturisers, shampoo etc) and or changing your diet can affect the skin and cause it to dry out.
  • The Season – during the cooler months, humidity levels are lower which can dry out the skin.
  • Your Age – as you age, your pores produce less oil which can result in dry skin. Babies on the other hand, have sensitive skin that has to adjust to the outside world’s environment, which can also cause dry skin. 
  • Bathing Routines – washing frequently or with very hot water can increase the risk of drying out your skin.
  • Medical Conditions – if you have eczema or allergic contact dermatitis this can also dry out your skin.

Why Use Body Oils To Treat Dry Skin

There are many options on how to treat dry skin and for many years oil free formulas were all the rage.  Well, this is not the case anymore. Body and face oils are making a big comeback and the reasons are simple, they deeply nourish and help your skin to retain its natural moisture. 

Body and face oils are an intensive and protective moisturising option to creams. They allow your upper layers of skin to soak up the nourishment, while also penetrating the deeper layers of skin to enhance your skin’s quality.  This combination leaves your skin with a healthier, smoother and more supple appearance and feel.

How To Use A Body Oil For Best Results

Body oils are light weight and are easy to use. For the best results it’s best to apply body oil to clean, exfoliated skin. You can apply body oil just as you would moisturiser, pour a small amount into your hands and rub into your skin but remember to not over oil.  

You can also add body oil to a bath for an extra moisturising experience.  Add a few drops of body oil into a warm bath and soak for up to 15-30 mins.  When you get out of the bath you apply a small amount of oil to your damp skin for extra moisture.

It’s always best to let the oil to soak into the skin for a few minutes before dressing so that your skin has a chance to properly absorb the oil.
