Nature’s Best Moisturizer
Cranberry essential oil could be your answer to smooth and healthy skin. Moisturizing is a very important part of anyone’s beauty regimen. Cranberry essential oil when blended with carrier oil or added to an odorless moisturizer is an excellent moisturizer. It is considered a very effective moisturizing agent for aging skin and can help restore suppleness to your skin.
One of the reasons that cranberry essential oil is considered an excellent moisturizer is that cranberry fruit have a high concentration of antioxidants. Antioxidants are important to help keep you look younger and keep your skin looking healthy. Using cold pressed cranberry seed oil on rough and dry skin produces excellent results.
Besides antioxidants this essential oil contains Omega 6 (linoleic), Omega 3 (alpha-linolenic), and Omega 9(oleic) fatty acids. Omega fatty acids are said to be very beneficial to the skin and besides keeping the skin hydrated can help to reduce pimples.
The lipid barrier of your skin that helps to protect your skin cells can benefit from extra protection with cranberry essential oil. Using this essential oil in your beauty regime can also help with moisture retention, very important when preserving your skin’s health.
Soothing Skin Balm
If you have psoriasis or eczema then using cranberry essential oil could bring relief to your skin condition. In these cases it would be best to use carrier oil rather than to add the essential oil to a moisturizing cream. However it is best that you check with your doctor or dermatologist before using this to treat yourself. Check what carrier oils are best and which creams you may use.
You may want to try out essential oils if over the counter topical creams have not worked for you. Many people have found that alternative remedies like essential oils are very effective when they have exhausted conventional medical remedies.
