Facial massage oil for sensitive skin

You do not have to be afraid to use oil on your skin if you have a sensitive skin but you should always consider staying away from oils that have a lot of fragrance such a lavender oil as it will cause redness and irritation to your skin. One should also understand as we age our skin also tends to change which is natural and it does not necessarily mean if you had oily skin you will always have it in same manner in your 50s as well. I learned this by my mother's skin she also had oily skin throughout her teens, twenties, thirties and even in her forties but with age our bodily functions also changes and so now she have a sensitive skin. It is vey important for people with sensitive skin not to use harsh cleansers and always use fragrance free light cream cleansers as well.

Furthermore, in order to use oils on face for people with sensitive skin they should consider using sea buckthorn oil as it soothes and heal burned or irritated skin as it has high antioxidants that also protects skin from harsh weather conditions. Sea buckthorn oil is a bit heavier for moisturizing which is very beneficial winter months as it helps to get rid of dry harsh patches on the skin due to cold weather. Other oils that is good for sensitive skin is chia seed oil, avocado oil, coconut oil but you can only use coconut and avocado oil on face if your skin tends to be more of dry sensitive kind. For instance, I will never use coconut oil or avocado oil on my mother's face despite of her having a sensitive skin as she used to have oily skin in past so there might be a lot of oleic fatty acid still hiding under her sebum of skin that might cause her to breakout.

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.
