Use nutritious herbal oils to tackle the first signs of ageing

Want to tackle those fine lines around your eyes and mouth that hint at a few too many late nights? Try using herbal oils to give your skin some much-needed hydration and vitality.
If you baulk at the idea of covering your pimple-prone complexion in heavy oils, rest assured that these natural beauty products are packed full of vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids, as the Daily Mail reported.
Loraine Murray, natural beauty consultant at Weleda, told the newspaper: "A lot of people fear using oil will cause breakouts and make their skin greasy. But oils can be incredibly beneficial for all skin types - even those prone to spots.
"They can rebalance, moisturise, protect and brighten complexions, and improve texture and tone. Oils can do wonders for hair, especially to repair and condition dry locks or boost thinning tresses," she pointed out.
The kind of oil that will suit you best will depend on your skin type and condition. Argan oil, for example, is great for promoting skin elasticity and leaves it feeling silky and smooth after application. A little goes a long way, so just use a couple of drops on your face before you go to bed and massage it into your skin gently. You could also use it on those dry, chapped lips for some winter relief.
Suffering from dry skin? Use coconut oil to moisturise and hydrate your complexion and address those first signs of sagging. You can even use this product on sore skin to treat eczema, dermatitis and related skin conditions.
Avocado oil is another ideal solution for dry, coarse skin as it contains vitamins A, D and E, which are all essential for glowing, plumped up skin. Sesame oil, on the other hand, is often recommended to people who have normal skin and who want to protect their complexion against pollutants and the sun’s UV rays.

- Carrot Oil for Face Feb 19, 2021Hello :) Carrot Oil contains Beta Carotene and Vitamin A which, by eliminating toxic build-up and repairing sun-damaged skin, helps to improve skin complexion. Antiseptic properties also assist in reducing breakouts and the formation of acne. It is also great for hydrating the skin. So mixing it with Jojoba oil may help. I would also recommend mixing Jojoba oil and Tamanu oil as both have great moisturising properties and are great for acne prone skin. Hope this helps!
- Carrot Oil for Face Feb 19, 2021I have acne. I have been using jojoba oil only but I noticed my face is sometimes dry. If I add carrot oil will it help moisturize my face and clear the spots or should I join argan oil to the mix?
- Ashwagandha Dosage for AnxietyFeb 04, 2021I found a supplement that is 500 mg, 120 Count. Do you recommend taking 1 capsule daily? or 2 capsules? I also take thyroid medication and an SSRI among other things.
- The amazing Ashwagandha benefits for womenFeb 04, 2021Hello Dia, Thank you for your comment. Research is confusing when it comes to testosterone levels with PCOS and using Ashwagandha. As it is an adaptogenic herb, it will 'adapt' to the environment of the body to support hormonal balance. A huge therapeutic benefit of Ashwagandha is its ability to balance cortisol levels, which could improve stress and symptoms of PCOS also. If you are currently using any medications or under medical supervision, please seek advice from your practitioner to ensure there are no interactions. I hope this helps :)

- The amazing Ashwagandha benefits for womenJan 20, 2021Hi Simie, thank you for your message. Ashwagandha is safe to be taken alongside other supplements including Vitamin E and Calcium. We would advise you check with your GP for interactions with estrogen medications for menopause as there are different variations of these medications. I hope this helps :)
