The reason for this furor over oil is explained by Dr. Mª José Martínez, an expert in dermocosmetics and founder of the high-end natural cosmetics brand Archangela: “Oils not only prevent transepidermal water loss, but also provide nutrients, antioxidants and fatty acids. omega 3, 6 and 9 fatty acids. And he recommends it for all ages, also for the face: “In mature skin that is already suffering from a decrease in the thickness of the dermis, dryness, flaccidity, loss of volume, the appearance of deeper lines and even a seborrheic tendency... oils with good formulas increase the barrier function, nutrition, and light and reach the deepest layers of the skin. In normal young skin there are also times to use an oil, as long as the right formula is chosen. The night is perhaps the best time for absorption during sleep, after cleansing the skin. A few drops are enough.”
When choosing one, the doctor delves into the benefits of organic oils: “Whenever possible, first cold-pressed oils should be preferred and, if they are organically grown or wild, even better. Mineral oils, such as silicones and their derivatives, have a very practical texture to formulate and their use is simple and inexpensive, but their results on the epidermis are very different and, on combination or acne-prone skin, they can be comedogenic, clogging pores and favor the presence of blackheads and shortness of breath of the skin.”
