Why use oils instead of lotions & creams?

Why would I want to use oil on my face is usually a common question. If you mention using an oil based product for moisturizing your facial skin, people sometimes look at you & scrunch their nose!
The cosmetic industry has scared the public about using  products containing "oil" for our face. What this industry doesn't comprehend, is that your skin NEEDS oil to produce a proper balance.
When you constantly strip the skin of it's natural oils with chemicals, drying agents, and non-oil products, your skin will start to produce MORE oil and over time will actually over-produce leaving you with oily, problem skin. Those non-oily creams/lotions you have been using are filled with harmful carcinogenic chemicals, preservatives, fillers, & waxes that clog pores & cause skin irritations. Waxes are one of the major contributing factors for skin congestion & clogged pores, and the waxes can actually stop the products small amount of oil from penetrating the skin, acting as a barrier. (Most creams are mainly made from waxes and water, with a minimal amount of oil in them.)

People do not realize that when we put these harmful ingredients on our skin day after day, that our skin absorbs them right into the body...this can actually be more harmful than swallowing them.

Our skin NEEDS oil! It protects our skin from the elements of weather and prevents wrinkles, fine lines, & blemishes. Facial oils absorb easily and directly into your skin, nourishing the skin cells & supplying needed fatty acids. It recreates your skins natural lipid barrier & helps to retain the water in your skin preventing drying & dehydration.
Keep a healthy youthful appearance and opt for something real...that's what our skin needs!
