TIPS FOR APPLICATION
- It is in oil form but is light and non-sticky. A little goes a long way, you do not need a lot of the substance for it to fully spread on your desired areas.
- Linovera oil is recommended for all skin types, even people with oily skin.
- Because Linovera oil is made with aloe vera and hyperoxygenated essential fatty acids (linoleic acid), it is a good moisturizer for dry and sensitive skin.
- When applying Linovera oil, keep in mind that you shouldn't be rubbing it into the skin like you would a moisturizer. Instead, dab or pat the oil onto your skin, pushing it into your pores until all of the oil has been absorbed by the skin. This ensures that your skin has fully absorbed the oil and will make use of all of its benefits instead of simply sliding it around the skin's surface.
-
- When you should apply it really depends on your skin and its needs. Skin is generally oiliest at midday while sebum secretion is usually at its lowest in the evening, right before bedtime. We recommend applying Linovera oil when it is most easily absorbed (i.e. at night). If your skin is extremely dry or if it the weather is drier than usual, you can add facial oil to your morning routine as well. Linovera oil can be used up to 3 times a day for the best effects.
- If you do not like the feeling of oil on your skin, you can mix Linovera oil into your moisturizer before applying it onto your skin. If your skin is particularly dry, mixing it with a hydration boosting moisturizer such as one made with hyaluronic acid will make your skin even bouncier and more dewy.
- You can also mix Linovera oil with exfoliants to make your own natural scrub. The exfoliant of your choice work to slough away your dead skin cells while the Linovera oil keeps your skin moisturized. For the face, its best to use smaller and gentler grains such as coffee grounds or brown sugar while salt-based scrubs work best for the body.
- Additional benefits of Linovera oil include softening dry and cracked elbows, heels, and ankles, minimizing the appearance of acne scars and stretch marks, preventing and treating Stage I pressure ulcers, preventing wrinkles, encouraging glowing, youthful skin, and treating minor burns.
