The benefits of tissue oil: A must-have for your skincare routine
|Published
Tissue oil has been gaining popularity in the realm of skincare and beauty, touted for its numerous benefits for the skin and hair. But what exactly is tissue oil, and why should you consider incorporating it into your daily routine?
Let’s uncover its secrets and explore how it can enhance your beauty regimen.
Tissue oil is a specialised blend of oils, typically including ingredients like vitamin E, essential fatty acids, and sometimes botanical extracts.
These oils are chosen for their moisturising, nourishing, and rejuvenating properties, making tissue oil a versatile product for skin care.
Tissue oil is one such example, and most beauty experts agree that its multi-purpose nature sets it apart from other skincare products. From managing scars to moisturising dry skin, to restoring dehydrated hair, it seems there is very little this multi-tasker can’t do.
But just how versatile is it? We turned to Bramley Cosmetics – whose extensive range of Tissue Oils is the number one selling tissue oil in SA, to highlight some of the benefits you can expect.
Here are five tissue oil benefits that showcase its versatility:
Here's why you should consider adding it to yours:
Minimising scars and stretch marks
Tissue oil is renowned for its ability to reduce the appearance of scars and stretch marks. By boosting skin elasticity and encouraging cell regeneration, it helps scars fade over time, making them less noticeable.
When massaged into dark or purple stretch marks, it speeds up the fading process, helping them blend more seamlessly with your natural skin tone.
Soothe irritated skin
If you struggle with skin conditions like eczema or dermatitis, tissue oil can offer much-needed relief. Its gentle and soothing properties can calm irritated and inflamed skin, promoting healing and providing comfort.
Deep moisturisation
Tissue oil is an intensely moisturising product that can be applied all over the body to combat dryness. It’s particularly effective on areas that need extra care, such as knees and elbows.
You can use it on its own or mix a few drops into your body lotion before massaging it into your skin. Your skin will instantly feel softer and more nourished, and after a few days, you’ll notice a significant improvement in its moisture levels.
Improved firmness and elasticity
Tissue oil can enhance the functionality of the skin’s moisture barrier. It works as an emollient to seal in moisture and prevent water loss.
In the process, the skin’s water-holding capacity is improved, and with the added water and oil locked into the skin, its firmness and elasticity are improved. Firmer, more elastic skin looks more youthful and has a smoother texture – bonus!
Stronger nails and softened cuticles
Dry cuticles and slow-growing, weak nails are a common problem, especially during winter. Gently massage some tissue oil into your cuticles and nail beds every night and see a major difference.
Tissue oil moisturises cuticles, leaving them softer (and easier to push back), plus it helps restore brittle nails and help them to grow stronger.
Restored hair and scalp
If you suffer from a dry or itchy scalp, you can add some tissue oil to your conditioner for a rich oil treatment. Alternatively, apply tissue oil to your hair as a deep hair treatment, wrap it in a towel and leave for a few minutes before washing it out thoroughly.
Tissue oil isn’t just for the skin — it can also benefit your hair. Applying a small amount to the ends of your hair can help tame frizz, add shine and protect against split ends, keeping your hair looking healthy and vibrant.
Adding tissue oil to your daily routine can bring about noticeable improvements in your skin’s appearance and health. Whether you’re looking to minimise scars, soothe irritation or deeply moisturise, tissue oil is a versatile and effective solution.
