Cold pressed carrier oils are the best
Carrier oils are used as a carrier for aromatherapy essential oil applications, as a base in homemade cosmetics, as well as as stand alone skin care applications. They are pressed from the fatty portions of seeds, nuts, kernels and do not evaporate or impart their aroma as strongly as essential oils. However, compared to the latter, carrier oils have a greasy texture and can go rancid over time, depending on how they have been processed. The ones that have been extracted through expeller or cold pressed methods are the best.
High antioxidants with healing properties
The good thing about carrier oils are that they contain antioxidants and essential fatty acids beneficial to our skin. Some of them even possess healing properties and this is why you find a lot of people like to use them to treat their specific skin conditions. Personally, I find carrier oils are great in lightening new scars for me.
Camellia Oil & Kukui Nut Oil
The latest carrier oils I have been testing out are the Camellia Oil and Kukui Nut Oil from Yours Essentially. I actually wanted to try Camellia Oil because I’ve read about how it is able to diminish fine lines and pitted acne scarring, lighten freckles and reduce the appearance of pores. However, over the past month or so that I’ve tried, I’ve only used on my eye area. Although the texture is light and not as greasy, I was hesistant about applying it around my entire eye for fear of having more milia seeds. So the oil was only applied on the outer corner of my eyes in the hope of erasing some of the fine lines there.
