SOME WAYS TO USE OIL TO HYDRATE YOUR SKIN AND HAIR
Oil as a facial Moisturizer
Face oils are the latest trend in skin care. But the truth is that women have been taking natural oils for their skin for centuries. Light, non-comedogenic oils are safe for all skin types and have small SPF properties. Only a small drop is needed to moisturize even the driest skin. Trust me, I know this from experience!
Oil cleaning method
The Oil Cleanse method is a skincare regime that replaces traditional facial cleaners for natural oils. The principle behind this method is that the oil is more effective than the use of traditional products, and tends to dissolve quickly without drying out your face. I was not completely sold on this regime, but I have seen great results after cleaning with oils. I even adapted it for my personal beauty routine. You can read more about my regime here.
Clean face oil
If you think the oil cleaning method is too cumbersome, but still want the results, you are lucky. The beauty market has had an explosion of facial cleansing oils. These gentle oil-based cleansers remove dirt, surface water oil, make-up and pollution while injecting essential moisture and benefits to maintain the vital moisture balance of your skin.

Hot oil treatment
We all know what a treatment with hot oil is. But we may have forgotten how good it can be for extremely dry hair and scalp. With the freezing temperatures of the polar swirl, I came into contact with this treatment again. I recommend using olive oil because it hydrates super. It also has a high affinity for hair and skin, making it easy to absorb, giving you moisturized but non-greasy hair.
Rinse oil for her
An oil rinse is a treatment that has become popular on hair care blogs and forums. It is a twist on traditional treatment with hot oil, but is done in the shower. After washing you apply a large amount of hair penetrating oils such as olive oil, avocado or coconut oil, followed by a conditioner. Leave it for about 5 - 10 minutes and rinse with cold water. It is guaranteed to soften and moisturize your hair without feeling heavier. Read more about the rules for natural hair.
Natural oil Body Butter
I have discovered that thicker body butters made with natural oils and butter such as coconut and Shea are the only ones that will keep my skin hydrated during the winter. But these items can become quite pricey. You can make your own for a fraction of the cost. View our recipe for home-beaten coconut oil body butter.
Add oil to your favorite skin or hair product
If you are a bit skeptical about ingesting as much oil in your daily routine, or just want to see if a little oil will make the difference, add a few drops to your regular skin or hair products. By adding just a little bit, the difference in your skin this freezing season will make you happy that you've tried it!
