Here are five oils that may help you attain and maintain unblemished and glowing skin that’s your pride and other’s envy.

Rose oil: Rose oil has anti-bacterial, anti-oxidant and anti-microbial properties. Derived from rose petals, it is also rich in vitamin A, vitamin C and omega-3 acids. From moisturizing and hydrating to calming down skin irritation, it works well in repairing scar tissues and blemishes too.

Jojoba oil: Jojoba oil massage can seal in the moisture creating an effective barrier to external elements that are harmful for skin. Warm up the oil and massage it to get fully absorbed into the skin leaving it feeling deeply cleansed, soft and smooth. It works best on oily skin by modulating the sebum production. Being anti-inflammatory, it is very effective to counteract acne formation.

Almond oil: Almond oil is a complete product to nourish the skin from deep inside. It delicately peels off the dead cells making the skin brighter, fresh and sparkling. If mixed with sandalwood oil, it may help in skin whitening and removing tanning very efficiently.

Coconut oil: This oil contains anti-oxidants, lauric and caprylic acids which are great for skin. It has anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties which makes it an ideal choice to moisturize the skin and keep it supple. Coconut oil massage is an effective therapy to treat eczema, rashes, patchy skin and dermatitis. Its light texture makes it to get easily absorbed into the skin offering cooling effect in hot summer and humid climate. People having sensitive skin may use it without any fear.

Castor oil: High in unsaturated fatty acids, proteins, minerals and vitamin C, this oil has anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties too. All this goodness makes it ideal for skin massage especially for breakout-prone skin. It is a thick oil. So, take little amount of it and mix with a thinner oil like jojoba for best result. This oil massage not only nourishes your skin but helps reduce acne-causing bacteria and inflammation. This oil can also be used to cure discoloration and scars from acne.

These skin oils can be used alone or can be mixed with each other in a blend that may complement your skin needs in best possible way. The result may be wonderful. You can add few drops of any of these oils in your moisturising or body lotion for added benefits. Nothing works better than these natural oil massages for those who want a radiant skin.
