Hey there, skincare lovers!
Natural skincare is more than just a trend - it’s a movement towards healthier, happier skin. If you’ve been thinking about how to use natural oils in your skincare routine but aren’t quite sure where to start, you’re in the right place. In this guide, we’ll explore the amazing benefits of natural oils, debunk common myths, and introduce you to some of our favourite products from Laya Wellbeing.
Why Natural Oils? Here’s Why They're Amazing
Natural oils are exactly what they sound like - pure oils extracted from plants. They’re loaded with vitamins, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids that your skin needs to stay healthy and radiant. Here’s why they’re better than synthetic stuff:
- No Nasties: Natural oils don’t have the harsh chemicals and preservatives found in many synthetic products. They’re gentle on your skin and don’t mess with its natural balance.
- Deep Moisture: Unlike some synthetic moisturisers that sit on top of your skin, natural oils penetrate deeply, providing long-lasting hydration.
- Versatility: Whether you’re dealing with dryness, irritation, or even acne, there’s a natural oil that can help. They work for all skin types, including sensitive skin.
- Eco-Friendly: Many natural oils are sustainably sourced and cruelty-free, meaning they’re better for you and the planet.
Busting the Myths About Natural Oils
Let’s clear up a few things that might be holding you back from embracing natural oils.
Myth 1: “Oils Will Make My Skin Greasy”
This is a big one! The truth is, when used correctly, natural oils won’t make your skin greasy. In fact, oils like jojoba and rosehip can actually help balance your skin’s natural oil production, making it less oily over time.
Myth 2: “Oils Will Clog My Pores”
Not all oils are created equal. The oils we use at Laya are non-comedogenic, meaning they won’t clog your pores. They’re perfect for all skin types, including acne-prone skin.
Myth 3: “Oils Can’t Be Used on Oily Skin”
This might sound counterintuitive, but natural oils can actually help reduce excess oil. Oils like jojoba mimic your skin’s natural sebum, signalling to your skin to produce less oil. The result? Balanced, healthier skin.
