What oils are good for facial skin

If you decide to use essential oils for skin care of the face and around the eyes, then you should definitely know that they need to be dissolved. And for this, vegetable base oils, or, as they are also called, base oils, are suitable. These are vegetable oils, and they should only be natural, with the highest qualities.

There are a number of vegetable oils that are widely used to dissolve essential oils... These oils are unsaturated fatty acids that help essential oils penetrate the human body. In addition, they prevent the weakening of the aroma of the essential oil in contact with air, water and skin.

Base oils can also be used as independent medicinal and cosmetic products, as they have nourishing properties (they especially help with dry and aging skin). These oils alone or in combination with essential oils are used for external use: massages, skin cleansing, rubbing, baths. On their basis, many cosmetic oils are made, which in a beautiful package with the name of a famous brand are many times more expensive.
