Oil Cleansing
Our skin produces an oil of it's own called sebum. With our busy lifestyles these days and exposure to makeup, dirt and pollution in the air, this sebum can become thick and sticky, making it hard for our skin to shed old dead skin cells. If a pore becomes blocked the sebum is left trapped and builds up under the blockage causing a myriad of issues like black heads, pimples and cysts. Or if your skin produces low levels of sebum your skin may feel tight, flakey and uncomfortable or simply look dull and dry.
Now, sebum is our friend... but too much or too little can cause problems for us, which is why it's important to embrace the flow of your skin rather than going against it. Once balance is achieved, your skin will thank you for it!
So how does it work?
When our skin is warm our sebum becomes more liquefied and flows easier. When our skin is cold our sebum becomes thicker and more waxy, so when we use these cleansing oils...
- our skin recognizes the oils because the blends used in this product are similar to sebum.
- the oils interact with our sebum thinning it out and drawing impurities to the surface.
- the warmth from our hands softens the sebum.
- the stimulation from the massaging brings blood closer to the surface boosting our circulation and bringing nutrients and oxygen to our skin's deeper layers.
- the dead skin cells become unstuck with warmth & stimulation, the dirt and debris sitting in the pores of the face become loosened.
- this creates an incredible deep cleanse without stripping the skin or disrupting the natural rhythm of the skin.
- nor will it scratch the fresh plump new skin cells waiting for their turn in line.
