Gua Sha: What is it, and how to use it with your facial oil
Traditional Chinese gua sha involves more than just the tool sold at Yatlina. It's a great way to add self-massage and lymphatic drainage to your daily routine.
Lipid oils structure
Lipid oils comprise 85% or more essential fatty acid chains of different lengths and saturations. Their structure, in many cases, resembles the skin’s surface, making them a valuable addition to any skincare or wound care product.
How long can I keep my lipid oils, and How do I store them safely?
4 main factors can affect the shelf life of an oil. Light, Heat, Air, Time.
"Dry" and "Drying" Oils, What is the difference?
Some oils will have a dry feel when applied to the skin and tend to absorb pretty quickly. Others will leave a drying feel behind.
Can my Facial oil provide sunscreen protection?
Do some lipid oils provide sunscreen protection? I see a lot of posts about this in “clean beauty” blogs and posts. You should ditch the sunscreens full of “harmful chemicals” and use natural oils or butter like shea or coconut oil instead.
Well, you can.
Just be prepared to look like a wrinkled old prune and possibly cause irreversible skin damage to your cells.
Wound healing, can Lipid (carrier/plant) oils help?
Given that the essential fatty acids in lipid oils work on the inflammatory response and skin protection and structure, it is beneficial to apply certain oils that can help with the wound healing process. However, this application needs to be approached with caution.
Lipid oils and the different names they are known by.
Carrier oils, base oils, lipid oils, plant oils etc., are all names given to practically the same product or family of products. They are plant oils used to “carry” another ingredient through the skin barrier or as a “base” to dilute a blend together.They can also be referred to as “fixed” oils due to their relatively slow absorption rate on the skin.
