A Story About Face Oils
There once was a woman whose grace and kindness created a radiant countenance and danced across her complexion like flickering sunlight. As she aged, her heart and spirit expanded and grew in beauty, but her face was less reflective of her joy - duller, dimmer.
The woman was not looking for ways to mask, conceal, or bury her features. She didn’t want to hide beneath layers of makeup or turn to chemical-laden quick-fixes or plastic surgery. She simply wanted to nourish her skin intentionally, coaxing her inner glow and brilliance to the surface once more.
After all, the signs the woman saw on her face were not merely the marks of natural age. She could tell that her body was reacting to pollutants, stress, toxic cosmetics, and a lack of natural oils.
When a friend gifted her a striking, artful bottle of artisanal facial oil, the woman was curious and hopeful. She applied it diligently each morning and evening, pausing to luxuriate in the subtle, herbal scent, the silky smooth feel. Her glow and her luminous joy? They returned to her skin as it absorbed the nourishment it was lacking. Her face reflected her natural radiance once more.
A Brief History of Beautifying Oils
Face oils are no flash-in-the-pan trend. Ancient Egyptians used face oils as a part of their beautifying routine. Archaeologists have discovered that the Egyptians used an array of plant-based oils on their skin, including sesame oil and olive oil, both believed to have been favored by Cleopatra herself.
Later, Greek physician Hippocrates experimented with hundreds of plant-based oils to determine their practical and healing properties. And the ancient Romans added body oils to their skincare regimen, including them in their massage and bathing routines.
Three thousand years ago, a holistic system of medicine was born in India. Its name, Ayurveda, means “the knowledge of life". The system, which emphasizes complete wellness, including mind, body, and spirit, uses herbal treatments and remedies. This includes all-natural body, hair, and face oils that promote health, balance, and harmony.
The Benefits of Face Oils For Mature Skin
When you look in the mirror, what do you see?
For most of us with maturing skin, we see flashes of our vibrant, youthful self, but they seem dulled and dampened by age. We might notice lines, sagging skin, discoloration, or a dry uneven texture that seems to indicate an imbalance. But the skin’s condition is not permanent. Proper moisture, internal calm, sufficient rest, and nutritive elixirs can promote a healthy radiance and rejuvenated glow.
The benefits of face oils for aging skin are many:
Minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
Moisturize dry skin
Protect the skin from showing the harsh signs of pollutants and irritants
Prime your skin for makeup
Reduce the appearance of pores
Calm the look of inflammation
As we age, we produce less and less of the natural oils that give our skin its fresh, youthful vibrance. But these oils can be absorbed to our benefit if we apply them daily.
The best face oils are suitable for all skin types, but those experiencing dry skin or winter weather will especially welcome the intense moisture deposited by facial oils. Likewise, mature skin drinks up silky facial oils because it produces less of its own natural oil with each passing year.
In Ayurveda, face oils are used to moisturize, plump, balance, and promote an unmistakable glow. When facial massage is added to the mix, you have a practice that is
physically, mentally, and spiritually stimulating.
