I'm fairly new to all of this myself, but I recently purchased Cherry Kernel Oil to help me with both anti-aging and the occasional breakout. So far I really like it.
Here's a bit of information on it from New Directions Aromatics (where I purchased it from):
Cherry Kernel Carrier Oil contains natural antioxidants, alpha, delta and gamma tocopherols plus vitamins A & E. It also contains a polyunsaturated fatty acid called eleostearic, a conjugated linolenic acid that prevents UV absorption by forming a barrier on the surface of the skin or hair.
And a review from a user - I realize it's only one person, but it kind of sealed the deal for me since I didn't want to further clog my pores:
I love Cherry Kernel oil, and to think I didn't even know it existed. This oil does not have any scent so could be applied on its on, but I added neroli EO and massage it on my face after showers/baths. It really is a beautiful oil does wonders on acne/problematic skin. Seems to even out the texture of the skin and really reduces the signs of scarring from adult acne.
I too have noticed that my skin tone and texture have evened out. I mix this 50/50 for OCM with castor oil (and add a couple of drops of tea tree and tamanu oils) and my pimples start to dry up overnight. I also add different EO's, depending on my skin's current condition and my mood, and use it as a leave on moisturizer and my skin is loving it. Hopefully that helps a bit... It's awfully confusing trying to decide what to try... |
