Natural oils efficiently moisturize skin and can be used alone or added to creams, masks, shampoos and body scrubs. If oil is used instead of a face or body cream, apply to damp skin, and the remainder wiped off. Why? Because the oils are not absorbed fully into the skin. Instead, they remain on the skin surface and thus do not moisturize it. The epidermis absorbs a mixture of water and oil instead of pure water.
Oil doesn't moisturize the skin but holds water together by penetrating the skin. Therefore, don't forget to apply oils or their mixtures on damp skin. Using oils this way you'll be surprised by how long-lasting they are and you'll enjoy the results of using oils. What's more, oils used properly don't clog pores, don't grease even the oiliest skin, and instead beautify and improve the skin. The ideal option for dampening skin is to use some herbal distillate instead of water, ensuring the most effective results.
