best sea buckthorn oil for wrinkles

One of the signs that gives out the true age of a woman is crow’s feet near the eyes. And although cosmetology has stepped far forward, even the most innovative creams and procedures cannot cope with these “traitors”. The reason is simple – under the eyes there is very thin skin, with a minimal fat layer. The only thing that can be done is to prevent wrinkles from a young age. Among the brightest wrinkle fighters is sea buckthorn oil.

The benefits of sea buckthorn oil

Sea buckthorn oil is a real lifesaver for those who have seriously decided to fight all wrinkles and folds. This oil relieves inflammation, has antibacterial and regenerating effects. The whole mystery lies in its natural composition, which contains many useful minerals and enzymes. For example, pigments that color sea buckthorn berries orange nourish and moisturize the skin, even out its color, and also protect the face from exfoliation.

Vitamins B6 and E strengthen the skin, fight against aging and protect against aggressive environments. Sterols and vitamin K prevent purulent inflammation and heal wounds. But phospholipids normalize the work of the sebaceous glands, eliminating oily sheen and acne. Polyunsaturated acids (oleic acid) are responsible for the regeneration of skin cells and for their local immunity.

Sea buckthorn oil comprehensively renews the skin of the face, fights freckles and pigmentation. Corrects double chin with regular use.

Harm of sea buckthorn oil

Carotenes in the natural composition of sea buckthorn oil can not only color the skin, but also destroy the protective layer of the skin (especially fading). Such harm can be obtained when using sea buckthorn oil in its pure form. Therefore, it is used only in direct conjunction with creams and masks.

Also consider the possibility of individual intolerance. Before the first application, do a rapid allergy test. Add a few drops of etherol to your regular cream, stir and apply it on the back of your wrist. If redness appears after 10-15 minutes, do not use sea buckthorn oil.

How to choose sea buckthorn oil

The quality of sea buckthorn oil is influenced by 3 main factors – the growing region, the concentration of carotenoids and the availability of control checks (certificates).

Buy sea buckthorn oil only in pharmacies, where all drugs are labeled. Choose etherol, which was made by cold pressing. With it, all the beneficial properties of sea buckthorn are preserved. For example, when the seeds are pressed, the oil loses beta-carotene, which has antioxidant properties.

Good sea buckthorn oil has a thick, homogeneous consistency, bright orange or red. Please note that the manufacturer indicates the concentration of carotenoids on the packaging, which should be at least 180 mg.

It is better to take a small bottle. Indeed, after opening, sea buckthorn oil, upon contact with air, will begin to lose its beneficial properties faster.

Storage conditions. Keep sea buckthorn oil only in the refrigerator. Always close the vial cap tightly after use.

Application of sea buckthorn oil

The main rule is to use sea buckthorn oil only in conjunction with additional cosmetics. Be it creams, masks or other types of vegetable oil. The proportion of the compound: 1 part (drop) of sea buckthorn oil to 3 parts (drops) of another component. For best effect, heat the ether to 36-38 degrees. You can only mix with plastic or wood. The metal will give harmful oxidation.

Apply cosmetics with oil only on a previously cleansed face. Keep the masks for no more than 15 minutes. Rinse with warm running water, no chemical cleansers added. After the procedure, apply a nourishing cream.

Make a mask only once a week, otherwise the skin will absorb the orange pigment.

Can it be used instead of cream

Sea buckthorn oil for the face can not be used in its pure form. Only when mixed with other cosmetics – creams, masks, vegetable oils. Otherwise, the skin may get burned and become orange.

Reviews and recommendations of cosmetologists

– Sea buckthorn oil is a versatile oil, suitable for all skin types. Just like peach oil can be a vehicle: it pairs well with other natural micronutrients. Sea buckthorn oil contains a lot of vitamin E, a natural antioxidant. Also, the oil is recommended for owners of sensitive skin to relieve irritation and various inflammations. It has an antiseptic effect. As a precaution: sea buckthorn oil is never applied in a thick layer as a mask. A few drops are enough, which can be rubbed in the hands and applied to the face with gentle movements, – said cosmetologist-dermatologist Marina Vaulina, Chief Physician of Uniwell Center for Anti-Aging Medicine and Aesthetic Cosmetology.
