body oil - HOW TO SELECT IT CORRECTLY

The right body oil is chosen based on the type, needs and problems of the skin. Using body oils requires the right technique to get the maximum benefits and avoid potential problems.

How do we know if a body oil is suitable?

Each skin type has different needs, so it's worth getting to know your skin type first. Dry skin needs oils rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which will provide hydration and nourishment. This can be avocado oil, coconut oil or almond oil. Oily skin needs light oils that do not clog pores and help regulate sebum secretion. With this type of skin, choose tamanu oil, jojoba oil, grape seed oil or hemp oil. Combination skin requires a balance between hydration and sebum regulation. The body oil recommended for this type of skin is jojoba oil or rosehip oil. We can also use body oil for sensitive skin. However, it requires delicate oils, such as sweet almond oil or apricot kernel oil. Mature skin: needs oils rich in antioxidants, which support regeneration and firmness. Rosehip oil or pomegranate oil will work well here.

body oil for specific skin problems

If you have skin problems, it is worth reaching for a body oil that will help to alleviate them. Oil is a good remedy even for acne. Applied topically, tea tree oil, tamanu oil or black cumin oil will help to alleviate acne lesions. For scars and discoloration, it is worth reaching for wild rose oil, tamanu oil or sea buckthorn oil. Avocado oil, apricot kernel oil or evening primrose oil will help with flaking skin, and apricot kernel oil and hemp oil will soothe irritation.

body oil should be natural!

It is good to check the composition of oils. Paraffin, petrolatum, cera microplastellina, petrolatum or mineral oil are often in the composition. These are not natural ingredients. Mineral oil, although often associated as simply oil, is a by-product of crude oil distillation. It is purified and adapted for cosmetic applications.

For body care, choose oils of natural origin. Those containing cold-pressed and unrefined oils, because these retain the most valuable ingredients.

Natural skin oils contain a lot of valuable active ingredients for our skin, including:

  • vitamins;
  • microelements;
  • phospholipids;
  • fatty acids.

Thanks to these valuable ingredients, natural body oil can restore the proper acid-base balance of our skin, provide it with the right level of moisture and support the reconstruction of the hydrolipid coat. A great advantage of Orientana body oil is that it is easily absorbed and effectively penetrates the deep layers of the skin.

oil body massage technique

Body massage is a great way to relax, improve circulation and overall skin care. You can do it yourself at home to relieve muscle tension, improve skin elasticity and enhance the effects of cosmetics such as oils. Applying oils to the skin requires proper technique to get the maximum benefits and avoid potential problems such as oiliness or clogged pores.

First, we prepare our skin for massage. It is best to do a body massage right after a hot shower. This will allow the oil to absorb better and not accumulate on the skin's surface.

If you are applying the oil to dry skin you can do this, but it will take longer to absorb. Before applying the oil, brush your body with a body brush. Dry oiling is especially effective on dry areas such as elbows, knees and heels.

Find a quiet place - comfortable and warm, where you can relax. You can turn on some relaxing music and dim the lights.

Arm and Hand Massage

Kneading the muscles - Grasp the arm muscles and gently knead them, moving from the shoulders towards the elbows.

Smoothing movements - massage the forearms and hands with longitudinal movements, from the wrists towards the shoulders.

Fingers - massage each finger separately, gently kneading and stretching it.

Abdomen massage ha

Circular movements - massage your abdomen with gentle clockwise movements (in the direction of your intestines).

Kneading movements - gently press on the skin to stimulate the digestive system.

Leg massage

Stroking movements - start at the feet and move your hands towards the knees and then the thighs. This helps improve circulation.

Knead your calf and thigh muscles , especially if you feel any tension.

Foot massage - Massage the bottom of your foot with your thumb in a circular motion around the instep. Gently press on your toes and heels.

Buttocks massage

Kneading - press the buttock muscles using circular motions with your hands.

Stroking and smoothing - massage the skin from the outside to the inside to improve skin elasticity.

Oil body massage is not only a beauty treatment, but also a great way to relax and take care of your health.

Adaptogeny w kosmetyce – naturalna tarcza dla Twojej skóry

Adaptogens in skincare – a natural response to stress and aging

Modern cosmetology increasingly draws on the achievements of natural medicine and phytotherapy. One of the more promising directions of research are adaptogens - substances of plant origin that help the body adapt to stressors. In the context of skin care, adaptogens have gained importance as ingredients that reduce the effects of oxidative and inflammatory stress, counteract premature aging and support the natural protective barrier of the epidermis. What are adaptogens? Adaptogens are active substances isolated from plants that have the ability to modulate the body's response to stress and restore homeostasis. This term was first used by N. V. Lazarev in the 1940s. According to the WHO definition, an adaptogen should meet three criteria: show a non-specific normalizing effect, be non-toxic, and enhance resistance to physical, chemical, and biological stress (Panossian & Wikman, 2010). The name adaptogen comes from the Latin word adaptare , meaning "to adapt," and the Greek suffix -gen , meaning "causing" or "inducing." The term was introduced in the mid-20th century by Soviet toxicologist and pharmacologist Nikolai Lazarev. In 1947, Lazarev proposed the term "adaptogen" to describe substances that increase the nonspecific resistance of the organism to stress and help restore homeostasis, regardless of the type of stressors (physical, chemical, or biological). Later, his research was continued by his students, especially Israel Brekhman and Ilya Dardymov, who specified the criteria for adaptogens. The most popular adaptogens used in cosmetics Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is a plant used for centuries in Ayurvedic medicine. It contains withanolides, alkaloids and flavonoids, which have strong antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects. In vitro studies have shown that ashwagandha extracts improve fibroblast proliferation and accelerate the regeneration of damaged epidermis (Mishra et al., 2000). Rhodiola rosea , native to cold regions of Europe and Asia, contains rosavin and salidroside, which stabilize cortisol levels and protect cells from oxidative stress. In a dermatological context, it has the ability to improve cell metabolism and protect against UV radiation, as confirmed by a study conducted by De Sanctis et al. (2012). Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) is a mushroom with a long tradition of use in Chinese medicine. Rich in polysaccharides, triterpenoids and peptides, Reishi has anti-inflammatory, immunostimulating and antioxidant effects. In skin care, it supports healing, reduces redness and protects against external factors (Wachtel-Galor et al., 2011). Tulsi (Ocimum sanctum) , also known as Holy Basil, is characterized by the content of eugenol, ursolic acid and anthocyanins. It has proven antibacterial, antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties. Tulsi extracts reduce sebum secretion, support the treatment of acne lesions and protect skin cells from oxidative stress (Mondal et al., 2009). Ginseng (Panax ginseng) contains ginsenosides, which improve microcirculation, support cell renewal processes and stimulate collagen synthesis. Studies have shown that ginseng can counteract discoloration and increase skin elasticity, making it firmer and more radiant (Shin et al., 2017). Gotu Kola (Asian Pennywort) Gotu kola (Centella asiatica) is an adaptogenic plant with multidirectional biological effects, valued in both traditional medicine and modern cosmetology. In the context of hair care, its effects are mainly due to the presence of triterpenes (such as asiaticoside, madecassoside) and flavonoids. Gotu kola improves microcirculation in the scalp, which facilitates oxygenation and nourishment of hair follicles. Thanks to this, it supports the activation of the anagen phase (hair growth), which can help to stop excessive hair loss and stimulate its growth. Centella asiatica extract has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which helps reduce scalp irritation and supports the regeneration of the epidermis, especially in cases of inflammation or dandruff. Skin and stress - here you need adaptogens The skin, as an organ in direct contact with the external environment, is particularly vulnerable to the effects of stress. Both physical and mental stress lead to overproduction of cortisol, which disrupts the functioning of the epidermal barrier and intensifies inflammatory processes. Chronic oxidative stress results in the accumulation of free radicals, which leads to damage to cellular structures, including lipid membranes, proteins and DNA, contributing to premature skin aging (Pillai et al., 2005). Oxidative stress plays a key role in skin aging and in the development of many dermatological conditions. It occurs when the balance between the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the body's ability to neutralize them through antioxidant systems is disturbed. Oxidative stress leads to excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which damage basic cellular structures such as lipid membranes, proteins, and DNA. In the skin, this results in the degradation of collagen and elastin – the main proteins responsible for skin firmness, elasticity, and youthful appearance. Over time, this leads to loss of elasticity, wrinkle formation, and skin laxity. This process is one of the main mechanisms of skin aging, both endogenous (internal) and exogenous, related to, for example, exposure to UV radiation. Reactive oxygen species also damage epidermal lipids, which are crucial for maintaining a tight and functional skin barrier. Their degradation results in increased transepidermal water loss (TEWL), which leads to skin dryness, susceptibility to irritation and increased reactivity to external factors. The skin becomes more sensitive, less resistant to allergens, pathogens or irritating cosmetic ingredients. Oxidative stress plays an important role in the activation of the inflammatory response in the skin. ROS activate transcription factors such as NF-κB, leading to increased production of pro-inflammatory cytokines (e.g. IL-1, IL-6, TNF-α). This chronic inflammation may contribute to the development of dermatological diseases such as acne, atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, and rosacea. Moreover, inflammation further increases oxidative stress, creating a vicious cycle leading to further damage. Reactive oxygen species also affect the functioning of melanocytes – cells responsible for the production of melanin. Excessive melanogenesis, induced by oxidative stress, can lead to the formation of discolorations, such as sun spots or melasma. In turn, damage to melanocytes can result in hypopigmentation, and in extreme cases lead to diseases such as vitiligo. Oxidative stress negatively affects skin cell proliferation and differentiation, which translates into slower epidermal renewal and impaired wound healing processes. Weakened cells have less ability to repair damage, which can lead to chronic inflammation, infections and permanent structural changes in the skin. The effect of adaptogens on the skin Although adaptogens have traditionally been used mainly in the context of improving immunity, physical and mental performance, more and more research indicates their significant effect in skin care – both in terms of protection and regeneration. Adaptogens have a multifaceted protective effect on skin cells. First of all, they reduce the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-6 and TNF-α, and regulate the activity of the HPA axis (hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis), which translates into improved inflammation and skin barrier function (Panossian et al., 2010). In addition, the abundance of antioxidants contained in adaptogens allows for effective combating of free radicals and protection of cells from oxidative stress. Studies show that adaptogens stimulate the expression of collagen types I and III, which leads to improved skin elasticity and firmness (Lee et al., 2019). One of the key mechanisms of action of adaptogens in the skin is their ability to neutralize free radicals. These compounds, such as polysaccharides, phenols and saponins, have strong antioxidant properties. Thanks to this, they protect skin cells from oxidative stress caused by UV radiation, environmental pollution and other stress factors. Adaptogens such as ginseng (Panax ginseng) , ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) or Rhodiola rosea (Rhodiola rosea) have the ability to reduce lipid peroxidation and stabilize cell membranes, which translates into delayed skin aging processes. Some adaptogens support the synthesis of ceramides and epidermal lipids, which influences the reconstruction of the skin's hydrolipid layer. An example is reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) - an adaptogenic mushroom rich in polysaccharides and triterpenes - which improves skin hydration and accelerates the regeneration of damaged epidermis. Regular use of adaptogen extracts can result in improved skin elasticity, reduced dryness and increased resistance to external factors. Stress and inflammation are closely linked. Adaptogens modulate the skin's inflammatory response by inhibiting the activity of pro-inflammatory cytokines and enzymes such as COX-2 and TNF-α. This makes them particularly useful in the care of sensitive, reactive skin and skin affected by inflammation - e.g. acne, atopic dermatitis or eczema. Gotu kola (Centella asiatica) is known for its healing, anti-inflammatory and collagen-stimulating properties, making it a popular ingredient in dermocosmetics. Adaptogens affect the activity of fibroblasts and keratinocytes, stimulating regenerative processes and the synthesis of extracellular matrix components such as collagen and elastin. As a result, they improve the structure of the skin, support its density and reduce the visibility of wrinkles. Adaptogens such as schisandra chinensis or eleutherococcus senticosus have elasticizing, revitalizing and protective properties, which is why they are increasingly included in anti-aging cosmetics recipes. Modern skin is exposed not only to classic stressors, but also to blue light (HEV) emitted by electronic device screens. Adaptogens, thanks to their antioxidant and protective properties, can act as natural "biological shields", reducing the effects of environmental stress and slowing down the processes of cellular damage induced by modern civilization threats. Who are adaptogens particularly recommended for? Adaptogens in skin care are especially effective for people exposed to chronic stress, tired, with dehydrated, flabby or sensitive skin. Due to their normalizing and regenerating effects, they are also recommended for people with dermatological problems such as acne, atopic dermatitis or eczema. Adaptogens are a valuable tool in modern skin care, offering support in combating the negative effects of stress and aging. Their anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and regenerative effects make them an effective and safe solution for a variety of skin needs. Integrating adaptogens into your daily skin care routine can bring tangible benefits, both aesthetic and health-related. Have you heard of adaptogens? It sounds complicated, but they are nothing more than unique plants with extraordinary effects on the human body confirmed by numerous scientific studies. In short, it is simply a plant that has a normalizing effect on the body's functions without causing any side effects. In even simpler terms, it restores the body to its natural balance. The key property of all adaptogens is to reduce the effects of stress and adapt the body to unfavorable external conditions. IN WHAT OTHER FORM AND WHERE DO THEY APPEAR? Adaptogens can be taken in the form of capsules, teas or drops. They are also increasingly common in natural cosmetics, having a sensational effect on the skin. So what do they do for it? They strengthen and stimulate cell renewal, improve the skin's ability to defend itself and significantly increase its immunity. They support the natural functions of the skin thanks to the active substances, vitamins, minerals and amino acids contained in them. Each adaptogen prevents the negative effects of free radicals, improves the skin's use of oxygen, normalizes, tones and calms the complexion and calms inflammation. Additionally, thanks to the active substances contained, it can work in a unique way on a specific problem. If your complexion is healthy, firm, full of glow and you have no problems with it, a cream with adaptogens will help you maintain this condition. It is simply worth using! The benefits speak for themselves. Of course! Here is an example text on adaptogens in supplement form, divided into paragraphs: How do adaptogens work in supplements? Adaptogens have a normalizing effect – they regulate the body's response to stress without overstimulating or calming it down. They support the nervous, hormonal and immune systems. In the form of supplements, their effects can be targeted at specific needs – improving concentration, reducing fatigue, supporting sleep or increasing physical endurance. The most common adaptogens include: ashwagandha (Withania somnifera), ginseng (Panax ginseng), rhodiola (Rhodiola rosea), gotu kola (Centella asiatica), and reishi (Ganoderma lucidum). Each of them has slightly different properties, which is why supplements often contain blends of plants in appropriately selected proportions to work synergistically. Adaptogen supplements are usually well tolerated, but like any form of support, they should be used consciously. It is important to follow the manufacturer's recommendations and consult a doctor or pharmacist, especially for people taking medications or those with chronic diseases. Adaptogens in the form of supplements are a convenient and effective form of natural support for the body in the face of everyday challenges. Regularly used, they can contribute to improved well-being, resistance to stress and the overall condition of the body. Their growing popularity is confirmed by both the traditions of Eastern medicine and modern scientific research. Bibliography Panossian, A., & Wikman, G. (2010).
