Moringa Oil:Huge Multi-Layer Benefits, also for Beauty!
My all time fav product of De 7even…: Blue Lotus Moringa Oil from Ritual Oils!
Here’s why:
The Moringa Oleifera tree is a superfood, rich in over 46 Antioxidants, 92 Nutrients, 36 Anti-Inflammatory Compounds, and over 20 Amino Acids. Cold-pressing her seeds produces a nutrient rich oil that retains a vast amount of all that miraculous goodness.
Besides the enormous health benefits of this, it also adds to our beauty and skin routine. It is multi-layered and can be used for ALL KIND of purposes. That’s why I love it so much. And I didn’t even talk yet about the AMAZING high-vibrating-effects of the Blue Lotus Energy… Whauw. Just… Whauw. (I will talk more about Blue Lotus in another Blog post).
Now, Let’s break down the 19 beauty benefits of Moringa.
- Moisturiser for Oily & Acne Prone Skin
One of the first beauty benefits of Moringa oil is that it is a ‘dry’ oil. This means that when applied to the skin, it penetrates deeply in a matter of seconds and leaves skin ‘dry’ instead of greasy. This is a super amazing reason why people with oily and acne prone skin should use it as a moisturiser.
You only need to rub 3-4 drops on your palms then gently dab them onto your clean face!
- Moringa Oil Has Antiseptic Properties
Moringa oil is one of the few oils with strong antiseptic properties. That makes it excellent for applying onto the skin after tattoos, for treating cuts and wounds, bug bites, skin rashes, psoriasis, eczema and other skin conditions.
- Moringa Oil Promotes Wrinkle-Free Skin
Rich in antioxidants and lots of nourishing nutrients, it’s no surprise that Moringa oil promotes wrinkle-free skin! The nutrients in it are also quick to dive into your thirsty skin cells because of the oil’s high penetrative ability.
The special thing about Moringa oil is that it has plant hormones called cytokinins, which help encourage cell growth as well as prevent the destruction of skin tissues associated with aging. Don’t forget that it’s rich in Vitamin C that boosts collagen and elastin production for youthful skin!
- Good for Skin Inflammatory Conditions
Since it’s antiseptic, moisturising and nutrient-rich, Ritual Oils are a perfect natural treatment for dermatitis, psoriasis and eczema. The best way to apply it is when your skin is still fresh from the shower.
- Ritual Oils Fights Acne
Because of its antiseptic properties, plus non-greasy moisturising effects, use Ritual Oils on acne prone skin. Moisturise the face by rubbing 3-4 drops on your palms then gently dabbing them onto your freshly washed damp face. It sinks in immediately.
And if you have spots coming up, dab on a drop per spot and don't rub it in, let it sit on your pimple as long as you can. Do this before you go to bed on the regular. Watch how it helps soothe acne inflammation.
- Moringa Oil Minimises Blemishes & Dark Spots
Another exciting beauty benefit of Moringa oil is that it helps minimise blemishes and dark spots. This is due to its rich nutrient-content including Vitamin C and Vitamin E. You can use it as a spot treatment on your blemishes and dark spots using your clean index finger.
- Moringa Oil Hydrates Dry Skin
Much as Moringa oil is amazing for those with oily skin types, it is also good for balancing the natural oils in dry skin and hydrating skin cells. It has an Oleic acid content of about 65-73% which is quite high. Oils high in Oleic acid are known to moisturise skin cells at a deeper level.
