The New Power Trio: Argan, Rose Hip & Evening Primrose Oil

Last post we looked at the benefits of supplements for our skin and which vitamins and nutrients were the most important.  The choices of skin care products today are endless, so how do we ensure ourselves that what we're putting on our skin will work and more importantly, won't irritate.

If you're sensitive, or have simply tried everything with little results...maybe it's time to go back to basics.

Looking for powerful, pure benefits for your skin?  Want to skip the fillers, chemicals and non-essentials?

If you're longing for pure & potent ingredients to save your skin, then natural & organic oils might be a good option for your skin care regimen. Here are three oils that pack a punch! They are effective, non-greasy, absorb quickly and offer results.

Argan Oil: A Daily Essential
Argan oil contains 80% unsaturated fatty acids and 3x's the antioxidant power found in Olive oil.

With exceptionally high levels of essential fatty acids, including linoleic acid (omega-6), Argan oil protects and repairs skin. Research points to linoleic acid's anti-inflammatory, acne reductive, and moisture retentive properties. When applied topically to the skin it can help prevent or delay wrinkling, making skin more toned and supple. Argan oil's benefits are further complimented by very high levels of Vitamin E.

Rose Hip Oil: A One, Two Punch
1. Rose Hip oil contains exceptionally high concentrations of Vitamin A, which helps to delay the effects of skin aging, assists with cell regeneration, and promotes collagen and elastin levels to increase.  This results in firmer, smoother, and more youthful skin with greater elasticity.

2. Rose Hip oil also contains high amounts of essential fatty acids, especially linoleic (Omega-6) and alpha-linolenic acids (Omega-3), which are important skin nutrients. Omega-3s, are the most important here, as they are more difficult to get in our diet and essential to cell function, immune support and fighting disease.

Rose Hip contains 35% Omega-3 & 46% Omega-6! It's potent, powerful and healing.

Evening Primrose Oil: A Triple Threat
Evening Primrose oil contains some of the highest concentrations of GLA (gamma linoleic acid) - a whopping 71%! This essential fatty acid is known for it's anti-inflammatory properties and is essential for collagen synthesis.  It has been used to treat inflammation from rheumatoid arthritis, pms, and is a good choice for treatment of skin conditions like rosacea and eczema.

So as the winter days grow colder, remember that there is help for your dry, irritated skin. Natural and organic oils just might save the day!
