Guest guest Posted April 1, 2005 Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 Carrot oil is also very good, I also use it with my essential oils. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 2, 2005 Report Share Posted April 2, 2005 Hi Juliska, > > > >Has anyone info on what vegetable oils are good for the skin.?? > > I also use organic unprocessed coconut oil. I even use it as my daily facial moisturiser, because most moisturisers are so full of things I can't pronounce. It works well, soaks in quickly. The other oil I use, more in winter, is cold pressed Black Sesame Oil, which is recommended in Ayurvedic medicine, it is very soothing and warming. It has a particular smell though, which I dont mind but my husband detests! I use either of these oils in a weekly self massage, for nightly foot massages or whenever I have dry skin and am feeling self-nurtuing enough to do something about it! I think Jojoba is another good oil, but it is more expensive. Peela > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't want to apply it directly to skin, you can add a capful in bathwater, but it will make the tub very slippery. Really soaks into the skin that way tho.... In summer, I prefer to use jojoba oil as it feels a bit lighter to me, and my skin isn't as dry as it is in winter.

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2005 Report Share Posted April 2, 2005 No, this is not a forum for advertising!!!! I recommended this company due to the question asked. I have NO financial connection to this company. I simply use their products and am very happy with them. Look at it this way, which is also stated in the list policies: you can totally answer someone's question by mentioning a product or company, providing you personally have nothing to gain financially by doing so. you can NOT originate (post out of the blue without someone asking for this information) any particular product or company, especially one you have no personal knowledge of, and especially one you personally have financial ties to. I hope that explains this policy a bit more. If you have any further questions, please check the policies as listed in the files on the website.
