Peach seed oil for skin "like a peach"

Speaking about this oil, it is difficult to refrain from stereotyped parallels with velvety and beautiful peach color: by a happy coincidence, peach seed oil is famous precisely for its ability to gently care for the skin of the face, improving its tone, increasing firmness and smoothness, restoring healthy softness and elasticity. And this is not yet the main advantage of this oil, because there is another trump card in its "sleeve". Peach seed oil belongs to the basic and universal: it is used for various parts of the body, is suitable for all types of skin and hair, is an excellent base for mixtures - in general, it replaces several products at once. If you are looking for a cosmetic oil “for everything”, then you should definitely pay attention to peach oil. 

Benefits of peach seed oil

There are cosmetic oils that are more difficult to use, which need to be mixed with other oils, in special storage conditions, and there are oils that are more “convenient”, which do not require any special treatment, or unique conditions, or special knowledge. The latter includes peach seed oil. For all its effectiveness, it is very comfortable to use, it goes well with other natural ingredients and quickly becomes your faithful ally in skin, hair, and nail care. In addition, it also has a very affordable price. Hence the unique position of peach seed oil (as well as other stone oils, especially apricot and grape, almond): it is considered a good universal base, an independent remedy that can replace night cream, eye cream, lip balm, nail oil, and also become base for masks - for face and hair.

Another point to the "pluses" of peach seed oil is that it rarely gets along on someone's cosmetic shelf. There are several reasons for this. Firstly, it is hypoallergenic and does not cause any negative reactions in people, even with very sensitive skin, which is usually irritated by everything. Secondly, despite the fact that this oil is not zero, but the second class of comedogenicity (this means that it can theoretically clog the pores, although the probability is not so high), in practice, peach oil rarely delivers problems in this plane.

Most of all, peach oil can do for dryish skin that has lost its tone, tired, with an unhealthy shade, a little flabby. This oil greatly softens such skin, promotes its hydration, heals, tones, slightly smoothes it, and most importantly, returns it a pleasant shade, healthy, fresh look.

The oil softens and refreshes normal skin, very delicately cares for it. Owners of oily, combination and problem skin should also not refuse to use peach oil: it is well absorbed, does not leave an oily sheen and, when used a couple of times a week instead of a night cream, makes the skin more elastic, matte, velvety.

Peach seed oil is neutral in color, texture, viscosity and aroma: it is pale golden, medium viscosity, rather light, with a barely perceptible unobtrusive smell. It is well distributed on the skin, it is absorbed almost completely in 10-15 minutes, if applied in moderation, without overdoing it.

It is perfect for use in its pure form and without unnecessary additives, as it is. But if you add it to another product, mix it with other oils and essential oils, peach oil will retain its properties without any problems and will not conflict with other components. As a base, it is used as often as jojoba oil (but the latter is more expensive).

Three Best Ways to Apply Peach Oil

You can seriously experiment with peach seed oil due to its flexibility and unpretentiousness, but most often it is used like this:

• For face and eyelids. With the skin around the eyes, everything is simple: a small drop of oil is applied to the cleansed and moisturized skin with hydrolate and distributed very gently. You do not need to wash off. This is best done at night, several times a week. Peach oil is applied to the skin of the face and instead of a night cream - also on a wet cleansed one, and in combination with a base natural cream. There may be options: you can add a drop of peach oil to a portion of the cream, and then apply it to your face, or you can first apply a little oil, let it soak, remove the excess with a napkin and apply your usual night cream after half an hour. Peach seed oil can also be applied during the day, but you should limit yourself to a very small amount so that the skin is not too oily. If you are uncomfortable going to bed with the oil on your face (although in practice you probably will not even feel it), you can apply more peach oil. with a thick layer on damp skin, hold it for half an hour, and then wash with a soft foam, washbasin or ubtan, and then apply your usual care.
• For nails. To strengthen nails and care for the cuticles, apply peach seed oil (ideally after a salt bath for the fingers) with massaging movements at least once a week. Even more often, peach oil is mixed in equal volumes with shea butter, for example, or cocoa butter, ylang-ylang essential oil is added - and this richer and more effective mixture is used.
• For hair. Peach seed oil tames, softens and makes it easier to comb dry, brittle, weakened hair - and, most importantly, it does it without weighing it down. It can be applied as a mask (in pure form or mixed with burdock, argan oil, jojoba oil), then rinsed off with natural shampoo, or you can apply a small drop directly to the wet ends of freshly washed hair - and do not rinse off. In this case, the hair at the ends will be more manageable, soft, will not frizz, in addition, it will protect them from sectioning. You need to understand that there are natural oils that are even better for nourishing the ends (broccoli oil, for example), but if you only have peach oil, it will also be beneficial.
