I could pass for a ''write-a-tive'' and not a talkative that's because once I begin writing, I never want to stop till I see its becoming way too much, this explains why I have two blogs and why I literally fill up every space with my never ending write ups. It makes me happy though to see that writing has become my identity, after all the pen is mightier than the sword so i'm kinda proud of it...........
Today's all about the much talked about magic oil EVOO. at the mention of this oil, my eyes always roll because its something that has become my friend more than any other cosmetic product.
The many wonders of EVOO include acne treatment, scar and blemish control, excellent moisturizer, reliable lip balm, fantastic hair conditioner etc.
I would concentrate on EVOO for acne prone skin today.
I have always had to answer this question time and again which is why would you ask some one who is battling with oil on her skin, acne, acne scars and all to go ahead and apply some form of oil on that same skin again?
Various estheticians and cosmetologists would give you different reasons for this, some would say it''s based on the theory of oil dissolves oil, others would say the EVOO is a non comedogenic oil (not pore clogging) I would like to mention a few things that would provide adequatae answers to this question.
This magic oil contains antibacterial properties and we know that bacteria goes a long way in encouraging acne growth on the skin, it cleanses deeply by penetrating into the pores to loosen dirt that might clog the pores hereby leading to break out. It is also loaded with antioxidants.
Some other uses of EVOO include;
it can be used in place of shaving cream and gives a soft silky feel, used to relief dry scalp, make up remover and face moisturizer etc
How to use EVOO in your acne battle
place your hand in a bottle of EVOO and rub it lavishly on your face in circular motion. leave for about 25 mins, place a clean wash cloth into a bowl of hot water, wring out and place the wash cloth directly on your face, leave it on the face till the wash cloth cools out and then remove to repeat the step again, this second time, rub the wash cloth all over your face to remove dirt, make up residue and excess oil, do this as many times as you can and then take a little oil to rub on your face and go to bed if its in the evening or apply your make up if its in the morning. You can do this once every week, I won't advice you to do it more often because steaming your face every time can damage it, however, you can rub in evoo everyday after washing your face. The method of cleansing your face with evoo is called the oil cleansing method (OCM) and it's one of the best methods for getting rid of acne.
Buying the right EVOO;
do not buy evoo that has used more than a year on the shelf, check the shelf life on the bottle before you purchase.
cheap olive oil will not work be sure to purchase original evoo
Keep bottle away from direct sunlight as light can weaken the properties causing it to loose effectiveness on time.
After reading this, you may have questions, please don't hesitate to ask, I am always here to answer.
