A Closer Look: Bare Natural Facial Oils

Dewy, glowing, supple – adjectives that we’d all like to use to describe our skin, and facial oil can achieve it! Using natural oil to nourish skin has proven to be beneficial for years. With their use in skincare dating back to ancient times, it may come as no surprise that those wise Egyptians used a variety of plant-based oils on their skin including castor, olive, and sesame oils to great effect!

So; oil is a fantastic emollient, but what’s the difference between using an oil or a moisturiser or lotion? Oils help re-introduce lost moisture back into the skin and unlike lotions, do not contain any water. While water quickly penetrates the pores, oils’ large molecules take much longer to absorb, meaning they’re a great choice for locking in moisture on the skin’s outermost barrier!

Bare’s range of Facial Oils have been carefully formulated to provide gentle but intense hydration that is suitable for different skin types. What are the benefits of using a Bare Natural Facial Oil in your skincare routine? Take a closer look…

• Deeply hydrating – As oils are lipophilic, they can penetrate deep into the skin, trapping water and other moisturising goodness in while keeping toxins and other bad stuff out.
• Fight signs of aging – Our oils are packed with antioxidants that strengthen and stimulate skin cells to promote a younger and brighter complexion.
• Give a natural glow – The super ingredients in natural oils work to instantly restore radiance to dull, lacklustre skin.
• Balances sebum production – Sebum is an oily substance that protects your skin; too much can result in clogged pores and acne, while too little can cause dryness and irritation. The carefully selected ingredients in our oils combine to balance out sebum production and result in healthier, stabilised skin.

So what do we use to make our fabulous facial oils? There are some skincare oils on the market today that are made up of synthetics, toxins and artificial fragrances that can be really harmful for skin. At Bare Natural you won’t find any kind of chemical nasty! Just 100% natural and organic ingredients that have been carefully chosen for their benefits for skin. They’re lightweight, fast-absorbing, and make skin look and feel soft and radiant instantly. Let’s go through some of the main ingredients used in our recipes and why…

Camellia Oil: Camellia oil is especially well-known for its benefits as it’s a great source of antioxidants and omega fatty acids that help to nourish and moisturise the skin. The antioxidants can contribute to anti-aging while its anti-inflammatory properties make it a useful weapon against sensitive skin issues. An all-round amazing ingredient!

Grape Seed Oil: This ingredient is non-comedogenic (meaning it won’t clog your pores) and acts as an antimicrobial that fends off bacteria that can cause breakouts and other conditions like rosacea and eczema. This makes it great for soothing acne-prone skin and also helps strengthen a defective skin barrier.

Watermelon Seed Oil: A super-emollient for dry skin, this oil’s capacity to trap moisture within deep levels of the dermis helps repair the lipid barrier of dry or dehydrated skin. It helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while protecting skin from aging, and also promotes circulation which aids in reducing puffiness, particularly in sensitive areas like under the eyes. 

Rice Bran Oil: This is a super oil which contains over 100 antioxidants as well as minerals, nutrients, antioxidants, and proteins! It promotes deep hydration, reduces pigmentation, and evens and brightens skin tone to remove blemishes and impurities.

Apricot Kernel Oil: Apricot kernel oil quickly absorbs into skin but offers lasting hydration. It’s a fantastic lightweight oil that won’t leave a heavy or greasy feeling on the skin. It contains fatty acids such as oleic acid and linoleic acid that hydrate and promote a healthy skin barrier.

Vitamin E: It wouldn’t be a Bare Natural recipe without this mighty ingredient! Vitamin E is packed with a myriad of benefits and penetrates deeply into skin to deeply hydrate and nourish. It’s a fabulous humectant and emollient which helps lock moisture into skin and keeps dryness at bay.

And there we have it!
