Magical beauty oils a must-have

GIRLS who were once hesitant and apprehensive about applying oil on their faces have not just included the product in their skincare regime but feel it is worth a try.

To keep a balance of moisture and get flawless skin naturally, facial oils work wonders, but you need to know how use them.

Neetu Prasher, head of training at Avon India, throws light on not just the qualities your little bottle of face oil comes packed with, but five ways to use this product.

Brightening primer. Winter can make your skin look dull and lustreless, hence a primer is a must. It’s imperative to choose the right base for an instant glow.

A facial oil can be your new primer this season. Pump two to three drops of this product, rich in vitamins A, C and E, to your face as a primer, and help your make-up stay in place all day.

Massage mask. For more supple and radiant skin, it is best to massage your skin twice a month. With home-made mask mixtures or facial sheet masks, adding face oils only multiplies the effect.

Add two drops to the mixture for a smoother, hydrated and firm skin. You can also smear the oil prior to using a sheet mask.

Treatment. To help reduce fine lines and wrinkles, or to even your skin tone and reduce hyper-pigmentation, add a drop or two of your face oil to your moisturising regime.

After cleansing and toning, moisturise your skin and see the magical results in a few days.

Foundation. Add two drops of face oil to your foundation for a smoother coverage. Oil helps restore skin, and mixed with foundation, the antioxidants make the complexion brighter.

Booster. Our skin absorbs all the essential nutrients when we are asleep.

It’s not a myth. Hence, teaming two to three drops of face oil with a night cream can maximise the results.

Apply the mixture evenly on your face, dab a little under your eyes, and you will see how well it works on those unwanted facial lines and wrinkles. – IANS
