Facial massage oil for mature skin

As we age our skin also loses its elasticity and therefore, it is essential for us to treat it with all the nourishment that it requires. One way of nourishing our skin is by including oils in our daily skin care routine that will help us regain the skin elasticity and get rejuvenated. It is important not to use harsh or drying cleansers on a mature skin as it will rob its moisture, so one should use mild cleansers for mature skin.

One of the highly recommended oil for mature skin is rose hip oil as it helps heal fine lines, also helps with sun damaged skin, treats pigmented skin, also treats scars and stretch marks, and  it is a good source of anti-aging antioxidants. Other oils include jojoba oil that are well absorb into the skin, argan oil which is high in vitamin-E and have loads of antioxidants it also helps to renew cell growth but if one is prone to breakout then they should avoid this oil. Another oil is marula oil it is even more high in antioxidants than argan oil and has a thick consistence.

The method to use oil while indulging in a facial treatment one needs to cleanse the face first with a mild cleanser and rinse it off with warm water then pat it dry with soft washcloth. In the next step gently massage face by taking a generous amount of grape seed oil in your palm and begin massaging in an upward strokes motion with your fingers i.e. from my laughter line to temple bone covering all of your cheek area, from your brow to your hair line in upward strokes throughout your entire forehead, above your lips and on your chin you need to massage by going straight horizontally by having your index finger above your lips and middle finger rubbing under your lips. Massaging skin around your eyes one needs to be careful with the pressure as it should be done very gently in circular motion starting from inner corner of your eyes and for nose this is the only feature that needs to be massage in downward strokes you take both of your thumbs and rub it starting from the inner corner of your eyes and ending on the tip of the nose with slight upward stroke at the end of your nose tip. You should treat your neck, chin and jaw altogether by massaging oil in upward stroke starting from the bottom of my neck and ending it on your chin or jawline. You can either  massage  for 30 seconds or 60 seconds on each area and after you are done just take the soft washcloth damp it in hot water and take excess water of it a bit and then spread it over your face for 2 to 3 minutes as it will help the oils to penetrate deep into the skin. You should remove it from face then gently rub it on your face with gentle circular motion to get rid of excess oil and then apply your skin care mask depending on your skin that day i.e. what it requires at that particular moment.
