Sesame Oil isn’t considered as a skin care ingredient. Do you know you can use it regularly for skincare?
Sesame oil is often touted as the best oil for cooking and consuming, but little is known about its skin care benefits. In fact, it is an underrated ingredient in the skincare arena.
Want to know how all you can use this wonderful oil for your skin?
As Massage Oil
If you are a fan of massages, Sesame Oil is a great massage oil. It is a natural detoxing agent, so it not only detoxes your skin, but also leaves it healthy and fresh. This oil penetrates the skin and nourishes the tissues from within.
As Face Care Oil
Rich in anti-inflammatory and antibacterial agents, sesame oil can combat and get rid of any inflammation or bacterial infection including patchy skin. All you have to do is, apply it on your face and neck and massage it for a few seconds before washing off with tepid water.
For Wrinkles & Fine Lines
Rich in antioxidants, Sesame Oil can prevent and delay ageing skin signs and keep your face clear and fresh always. You can use it regularly and right after shower for best results.
For Dryness
Is your skin dry? Try Sesame Oil! A rich and wonderful moisturizer, Sesame Oil can also cleanse and detox your skin while moisturizing it. Leave your skin hydrated, soft and nourished with this wonderful oil.
For Healing & Repair
Rich in Vitamins and Anti-inflammatory agents, Sesame Oil can accelerate healing. Also, the antibacterial properties accelerate wound healing and the anti-inflammatory properties prevent or reduce scarring. That’s another reason this oil makes a good remedial aid for stretch marks or scars.
For Sun Protection
Want to get rid of suntan? A natural UV protection aid, Sesame oil can protect your skin from sun and prevent suntan. Also, the antioxidant properties form a protective layer over the skin and prevent oxidization by ozone layer, which means it acts as a natural sunblock. Great right?
As Cracked Heel Aid
We’ve already mentioned Sesame Oil protects skin from dryness and is a wonderful moisturizer and hydration aid. So, just massage your feet every night with Sesame Oil and see how your feet turn soft all over again!
As a Scrub
Add a few other ingredients to this oil – sugar, salt, lemon or orange peels or whatever scrubbing agents you like and scrub away. The other ingredients also mask the smell – for those who don’t like how this oil smells! After the scrubbing, you skin will feel soft and clean.
For Soft & Supple Skin
Rich in nutrients and fatty acids, Sesame Oil is a great way to nourish, rejuvenate and moisturize your skin. The antioxidants and the healing properties of this oil all combine to make your skin soft and supple. What’s not to like about it?
To Combat Acne
Just like Coconut Oil, Sesame Oil is also an antibacterial and can help combat acne. Wash your face with warm water and massage Sesame Oil to your face and neck. Let it sit for a few minutes before rinsing off. Do this regularly to combat acne and keep it at bay.
These are a few ways to use Sesame Oil for soft, supple and glowingly healthy skin. If you don’t have time for preparing your own skin care products, have you considered Aya Naturals for your skin and face care requirements?
