Kukui Nut Oil For Mature And Problem Skin
Kukui nut oil is a wonderful oil for all skin types, especially mature skin. It deeply penetrates the skin, and is perfect for many skin conditions such as; eczema, psoriasis, dry skin, damaged skin, acne, sensitive and babies skin.
Kukui nut oil comes from Hawaii, and the women have been using it for many, many years to protect their skin, from the sun, windburn and salt water.
Kukui in Hawaiian means “‘enlightenment’. A name certainly benefiting this wonderful oil.
Some may not have heard of this oil before, as only recently its benefits for the skin are becoming more and more well known. It also goes by the name of Candlenut.
Being a natural oil, like rosehip oil, it works with the body’s natural healing process. Using kukui nut oil on its own, it will work deep into the skin, helping your pores breathe.
Kukui nut oil contains vitamin A, E, and is very high in oleic acid (omega 9), linoleic acid (omega 6) and alpha linolenic acid (omega 3). All the antioxidants needed to keep your skin looking younger.
This oil can give your skin a protective shield without blocking pores, and does not leave a greasy film. The skin readily absorbs the oil, and is very protective in helping the skin retain moisture.
When used regularly, this oil can help reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
The oil is a lovely natural alternative to use on your skin if you have sunburn, and the roughest, driest skin will notice a huge difference in appearance and smoothness.
Many skin care companies are now including this oil in their products, and is used in sun protection products.
The only problem with the oil is it has a very short shelf like and can go rancid very quickly. It is often used as carrier oil for aromatherapy.
