Carrier oils are best for glowing skin, study suggests

We all know that essential oils work wonders when it comes to calming down our stressed minds. But in terms of glowing skin, carrier oils are what work best, experts suggest. They happen to be dense and get absorbed into the skin very easily which is why they prove to be better than essential oils. Brand Kama Ayurveda's in-house ayurvedic expert Sharad Kulkarni said: "Essential oils are always recommended to be used along with carrier oils. Pure organic carrier oils like Coconut, Sweet Almond and Sesame oil can be used on their own, but for added benefits essential oils do wonders. For example: Using tea tree oil along with sweet almond oil will keep your scalp clean while keeping your hair hydrated."



Although essential oils like tea tree oil and eucalyptus oil have strong fragrances, they evaporate almost as soon as they make contact with the skin. But carrier oils on the other hand, although don't have strong fragrances, stay and get absorbed in the skin, giving it that particular glow. Castor oil, sweet almond oil, avocado oil and rosehip oil are a few carrier oils that can be used on a regular basis. Well, looks like it's time to switch to carrier oils. Stay tuned for more updates.
