Although the use of kitchen oils in skincare is not new, their practical application continues to surprise. Thanks to their vitamins, such as vitamin E and antioxidants, they can significantly improve the condition of our skin. Although shops offer many products, natural oils are often not only cheaper but also healthier alternatives.

Two highly recommended oils are olive oil and avocado oil. The first, used regularly, can reduce wrinkles and moisturise the skin. It is suggested for daily evening care. Meanwhile, avocado oil is recommended for dry skin due to its additional vitamins, such as A, B, D, and K.

Olive oil – slows the ageing process

Daily use of olive oil can become a ritual that transforms our skin. Thanks to the "youth vitamin," vitamin E, olive oil can act as a natural facelift. Additionally, it can delay the skin's ageing process by maintaining its proper moisture level.

We can also perform a facial massage using olive oil that further improves microcirculation and allows nutrients to be better absorbed. It's worth trying before opting for expensive cosmetic treatments.

Avocado oil – a versatile saviour for the skin

For those struggling with dry and mature skin, avocado oil is the ideal solution. In addition to vitamin E, it provides the skin with biotin, which is responsible for the skin's elasticity and glow.

Moreover, it can also be used on the scalp to combat dandruff. It also helps strengthen hair and prevent hair loss, making it a universal cosmetic in every bathroom. It is slightly more expensive than olive oil, but the results are worth it.

Black seed oil – a real saviour for acne-prone skin

Black seed oil is recommended for people struggling with acne. Thanks to its antibacterial properties, this oil can effectively support the fight against skin imperfections. It regulates the activity of sebaceous glands, which is crucial for maintaining oily skin health.

Black seed oil improves skin tone and soothes inflammations. It's an excellent alternative to harsh pharmaceutical treatments without the risk of irritation or drying out the skin.
