While some people believe that natural oil cleansers in Dubai are the way to go for healthy beautiful skin, others are still sceptical. Can an oil actually clean and rejuvenate the face? We’ve tried a number of different natural oils for our faces and we have brought you our favourite picks!

We take a look at different natural oils in Dubai that are recommended for the face and the benefits that come with these natural wonders.

1. Castor Oil

Extracted from the castor plant known as Ricinus Communis, which usually grows in the tropical regions, castor oil helps to detoxify and cleanse the skin.

Castor oil can be drying to the skin as it helps cleanse the skin of dead skin cells and helps to remove unwanted particles from pores, thus decreasing the chances of acne breakouts.

As castor oil is drying to the skin, it is recommended that those with oily or combination skin should add a little extra castor oil to their facial routine to help eliminate unwanted oils on the face.

Castor oil for the skin should be organic, cold pressed, hexane free and not solvent extracted.

Jojoba oil is a liquid wax that is extracted from the seeds of the jojoba plant and is widely used as an ingredient in shampoos, conditioners and lotions.

Used as a skin conditioner, neem oil is used for dry skin and is an excellent source for acne-prone skin. Acne is a result of the overproduction of sebum (oil that is produced from the sebaceous gland that can be found beneath the surface of the skin).

Sebum becomes a problem when it is exposed to bacterial proliferation inside the pores and hair follicles which result in pimples, acne and other unwanted blemishes. Neem oil can help remove the bacterial growth from the skin and is considered a natural and safe alternative to anti-bacterial soap.
