Liquid Gold

If the thought of putting oils on your face brings really bad breakouts to mind, think again 🤯 Ancient Egyptians kept their skin vibrant and flawless with Moringa Oil and this (very!!) old beauty secret is making a big comeback right now. The key is to recognize that not all facial oils are the same, so you do have to make an educated decision before you purchase. Here’s why a facial oil is a must in your skincare regime ✨ Too much unprotected ultraviolet light is a set-up for free radical damage — and that means wrinkles and sunspots galore. Certain facial oils are packed with antioxidants, which prevent further aging, so if you're affected by sun damage and dryness look for products containing primrose oil or a vitamin E base. ✨ Lower temps and cranked-up heaters suck moisture straight from the skin. Oils are the ideal antidote to dry, flaky skin and rough, rosy cheeks — and they can be much more effective at moisturizing than standard creams. ✨ Because oils are lipophilic, they can penetrate deep into the skin, trapping water and other moisturizing goodness in, while keeping toxins and other bad stuff out. Some oils also help to fortify and strengthen our own natural skin barrier. This is especially important for us city dwellers who need extra protection against pollutants and smog, a known source of unwanted wrinkles.✨ Some oils actually pull out grime and fats from pores, making them appear smaller and less noticeable. ✨ Many oils have anti-inflammatory properties as well, helping to calm irritated skin. ✨ Believe it or not, tea tree oil is an mvp zit zapper. And no, you won't get more pimples if you use oils. We aren't talking about slathering Crisco on your face, after all. A must have for everyday use or post treatment healing is the liquid gold “Nurtured” oil by @forgetbeauty 👌🏼 Pick up in studio.
