Using baobab oil to care for your skin: how to go about it?

An ally of soft, radiant skin, baobab oil is widely used in cosmetics. It is extracted from the seeds of the tree of the same name, a plant giant originating from Africa, Madagascar and Australia. To protect the skin from dryness or to treat it for wrinkles and other conditions, this oil proves very effective.

Its techniques of use can go from local application – serum, massage, etc. – to consumption, which is less prized. Furthermore, baobab oil makes it possible to create a perfect bodily harmony when it is used not only on the skin, but also on the hair and the nails.

Baobab oil: origin, composition and properties

Produced from baobab seeds, baobab oil is appreciated in the world of cosmetics for its many properties. The tree it comes from is a singular plant coming mainly from tropical Africa. Its fruits are intended for various processing and for many uses because of their richness.

Baobab oil is particularly rich in unsaturated and essential fatty acids and then in polyphenols whose contributions are essential for deeply nourishing the epidermis. Hence its different uses for caring for the skin.

In which cases and how should baobab oil be used to care for the skin?

The use cases of baobab oil for caring for the skin are many. They indeed vary depending on the condition to be treated, or in general the goal being pursued. Most often, users turn to this product to fight wrinkles, stretch marks, dryness, chapping and/or to regenerate and soften their skin.

To care for dry or damaged skin

In this case, the ideal recipe consists of mixing 10 ml of baobab oil and 2 drops of rose geranium oil in a dedicated bottle. It can be used as a serum or in a hot bath, by day as by night, depending on the user.

The rose geranium complement makes a faster healing easier in case of wounds, for example. In addition, baobab oil can be used on its own without adding another essential substance.

To treat stretch marks

Caused by the rapid stretching of the skin, stretch marks damage the collagen fibers and disorganize the epidermal structure. Baobab oil takes part in correcting or preventing this condition, thanks to its composition in unsaturated fatty acids.

It is used in local application on the affected parts. For more effective results, you can mix 5 ml of it with 2 drops of helichrysum essential oil and 5 ml of rosehip oil. The way of using it stays the same, except in the case of prevention, where it can be used to massage the whole body.

If the user is a breastfeeding woman, the complementary oils indicated are not recommended.

To remove wrinkles and rejuvenate the skin

Wrinkles are visible signs of aging and can sometimes arise ahead of time. Whatever the period when they appear, baobab vegetable oil can help remove them and thus promote or preserve the elasticity of the skin.

Through its richness in polyphenols, in flavonoids as well as its antioxidant virtues, it promotes the continual regeneration of the cells of the epidermis.

In the present context, baobab vegetable oil can indeed be used alone or with other essential oils. You can use 2 drops of carrot oil, 5 ml of apricot kernel oil and 5 ml of baobab oil to prepare the recipe.

It is possible to use the product as a massage or as a serum on the areas affected by wrinkles, several times a day. By day as by night.

To get regenerated, soft skin with a good radiance

Having soft, radiant skin is everyone's dream. So if you are used to using only ointments with that in mind, baobab oil can be a very interesting option.

Indeed, beyond the uses listed above, you can use this plant product with the sole aim of giving softness and radiance to your skin.

The experience can start with a simplified (recommended) use of baobab oil, as a massage, in a bath or after a shower. Over time and depending on the effects desired, you can move on to fuller recipes with the addition of other oils, such as:

True lavender oil;
Coconut oil;
Rosehip oil ;
Hemp oil;
Rose geranium oil.

In addition, these different products are only complements. You must therefore favor baobab oil as much as possible in your skin care recipes.

How can you harmonize your skin with the rest of the body thanks to this oil?

It must be recognized that baobab seed oil is not used only to care for the skin. It can also be used to protect or beautify the hair, clean the nails and fight the chapping of the lips, the hands and the feet.

Note that when they are well cared for, these different parts of the body contribute to a perfect harmony of the skin and of the physique.

Indeed, baobab oil is used just as much on dry, dull, coily hair as on damaged hair. Favor using it about twenty minutes after washing your hair with shampoo. Also, on the nails as on chapped lips, hands and feet, the way of using it stays the same: massage.

The goal is to kill several birds with one stone, using the same product to enhance your skin and your beauty.

Precautions for using baobab oil on the skin

Using baobab oil to care for your skin is one thing; doing it properly is another. That is why, before any use, it is recommended to do a quick tolerance test on the crook of the elbow. This precaution makes it possible to be sure of the quality of the product chosen.

Good to know: using baobab oil on a child under 3 is not advised.

To finish, note that throughout the period of use, storing this vegetable oil properly makes it possible to preserve its properties. Ideally, it must be kept away from heat and light, in a dry place.
