Every morning and every evening, in general, we take care of our skin and especially our face, whether we are a man or a woman. Even the youngest, from adolescence, use beauty products sometimes inappropriate to their young age.

Cosmetic products are used younger and younger and cost more and more. If we go for big brands, the jars of moisturizing cream, day or night, of only 30 ml can sometimes go beyond the hundred euros. An aberration !
And when we know that the simplest products are sometimes the most effective, we will understand very quickly that the ideal for our skin is to turn to quality care, noble and of natural source, of organic quality. Books on natural cosmetics abound to give us ideas and homemade recipes and it is by going this way that we will take the best care of us but also of our planet.

Many vegetable oils can take an important place in our bathrooms because they are multi-purpose: cleansing, makeup removal, moisturizing, antioxidant, protective, regenerative, regulatory, soothing, nourishing anti-wrinkle, etc. Because of their multiple properties, they enchant on a daily basis, but you still need to know how to choose them so that they perfectly match your skin and your needs.

How to choose your vegetable oil ?

First of all, choose unrefined, first cold-pressed oils - to preserve the oil's active ingredients - and organic quality, without additives or flavors. Sold in opaque bottles, they will be preserved in a more optimal way and for a longer period. Prefer small doses of 100 to 200 ml and avoid seeing your oils go rancid.
