Maintain With Fragrant Oils Cosmetic

Vegetable and mineral oils contain valuable lipids and provide supple skin. But there are big differences.

Comforting scent, soft skin, a feeling of warmth: Who is using high quality oil for body care, feels pampered. The fats in it support the natural hydro-lipid mantle of the skin and form a protective film on its surface.

But oil is not the same oil. It makes a big difference whether the cream or lotion was added to a vegetable or a mineral oil – paraffin.

Vegetable oils: Of course, but not so durable

They have a similar structure to the skin fats, explains Julitta Winkin, a pharmacist. This makes them very well absorbed by the skin and strengthen its natural barrier.

Vegetable oils deliver lipids and nutrients, protect the skin from moisture loss and support the regeneration of damaged skin. This is also very close to their effective accompanying substances such as vitamins, antioxidants and phytosterols, the structure of cholesterol.

The oils show different advantages depending on the variety. Cosmetics with olive oil for example, contain a lot of vitamin E. Olive oil protects the skin from free radicals, strengthens the connective tissue and increases skin moisture, explains pharmacist Winkin. One drawback: creams with herbal oils are more susceptible to environmental factors such as sun or oxygen and therefore not as long lasting. Hypersensitivity to any component they should not be applied, but that goes for any means.

Mineral oils: Artificially produced and very well tolerated

Even cosmetic products with mineral oils make the skin wonderfully supple. What many consumers do not know: paraffins are a mixture of saturated hydrocarbons – and a product of the petroleum industry.

But they have some obvious advantages. Mineral oils are very stable, less susceptible to microbial contamination and therefore long-lasting, says Winkin. Especially dermatologists appreciate paraffin oils, because they are very well tolerated.

Allergic reactions to paraffins are rare  says Dr. Carolyn. Especially patients with allergies tolerate paraffinic products often good. Another advantage of the mineral oils: they form an oily film on the skin that protects against drying and absorbs more moisture in the top layers of skin.

Especially in diseased skin, the ability to hold moisture – for example at a neurodermatitis – we use this effect, says Kiel dermatologist Dr. Antje Boetius-Thomsen. How much of this so-called occlusion effect is depends on how much paraffin contains the cream. In-the-counter cosmetics, the dose is so low that the skin continues to breathe. The oil then acts purely nourishing.

The problem is that hair with substance deficiency

Normal hair is about 0.12 mm ‘thick’, fine hair is often only half the amount of substance to offer – its cuticle and his cortex (the inner part of the hair) are just weaker. The reasons for this are many: Was your hair always fine, are likely to blame the genes. Was the hair but ever stronger, hormonal changes (eg thyroid disease) or a vitamin or iron deficiency may be the reason that the hair roots not so accelerate as before.

Fatty acids, such as wheat germ oil, maintain the hair without weighing it down. Amino acids (protein building materials tiny) push the natural keratin of the hair and so restructure the hair from within. Panthenol and fruit extracts of pineapple or lemon strengthen the hair fiber also.

  1. The right hair cut

The haircut may be to blame if fine hair so lifeless acts like wilted lettuce. Lace trim every six weeks is required. Moreover, the so-called ‘slicing’ (shortening the hair with the knife or scissors held at an angle) a no-go – it lets the lengths look even than they already are anyway. Moreover, the hairstyle should blunt, have contours and compact as possible no steps.

  1. Blow on the head

After washing, blow-dry the hair on the head and keep the air flow in this direction scalp. This roughens the cuticle and makes the hair grip. In addition, the approach focuses on and gives the hair more body and also stand.

  1. Volume powder

Do not worry, powder volume has nothing to do with what they scattered themselves at times of Louis XIV. On the wigs. It is so extremely fine, that it leaves no visible traces, but effectively reinforced the hair fiber. Simply spray from about 20 centimeters distance in the length or dust and rub shortly.
