Here Is A List Of Carrier Oils That You Should Use For Different Skin Woes By Expert

Growing hectic schedules and stress affect our skin in different ways. The trending concept of essential oil/carrier oils is there for a reason. It is, in fact, an old age remedy, invented and used centuries ago. Reena Chhabra, CEO, Nykaa Beauty, has dolled out reasons To HerZindagi, on why it is important and beneficial to invest in carrier oils. Essential oils are basically oils extracted from plants.

They are in the concentrated form and are generally diluted and mixed with carrier oils. In case you are looking to relax and calm your stressed mind, essential oils work wonders but when it comes to a healthy and glowing skin, carrier oils work best in winters. Carrier oils have their own added benefits since they are dense and get absorbed into the skin very quickly. They nourish your skin from the inside and don’t have any kind of side effects. Hence, they can be safely used by sensitive skin users as well.

Chhabra says 'There is a perceptible shift towards natural remedies across the world. Carrier oils are nature’s best answer for a concentrated and efficacious care, they are also very gentle and offer holistic benefits, away from chemical solutions offering head to toe solutions for hair, skin, and nails. In fact these carrier oils work best in winters for our skin. They replenish our skin with vital ingredients which otherwise gets lost due to the harsh weather.'
