If there is one beauty myth that continues to deceive and confuse women when it comes to choosing skin care and cosmetics products, or rather, NOT choosing products to include in their skin care regimen, it is this…”Don’t use products that contain oil…OIL IS BAD. For most of us, our fear of oil began in adolescence, when shifting hormones created an overproduction of surface skin sebum, leading to our first battles with blemishes. From then on, we stuck with “oil-free” products, hoping to put an end to the plague of pimples.
Unfortunately, that fear of all things oil is mostly unfounded. Botanical-based oils can offer essential benefits for the skin - especially as we age and our skin becomes drier. Many plant oils – ranging from pharmaceutical grade safflower, soy, avocado and olive - have a similar structure to skin’s natural oils, which means our body easily absorbs them.
The body is a complex machine that is made up of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and other components to maintain healthy cellular communication, function and duplication. The skin, the body’s largest organ, unfortunately is the last place to receive dietary nutrition due to the fact that the body naturally protects itself from the inside – out, utilizing nutritional supplementation to first protect the internal organs of the body.
Natural, botanical oils combined with key vitamin supplementation could be just the thing your skin has been longing for, yet has been deprived of due to incorrect conceptions and information.
BC Spa Solutions Radical Hydration Concentrate is a unique beauty oil that will help you achieve skin that is smooth, supple and healthy-looking. This super-concentrated serum uses a technologically-advanced blend of botanicals and vitamins to infuse cells with moisture, leaving skin feeling soothed and refreshed, even in harsh winter weather or grueling summer heat.
Vitamins A and E, both natural and highly effective antioxidants, protect skin from environmental damage, while an advanced complex of avocado and olive oils, with chamomile and lavender extracts soothes and restores dry, irritated skin. The fast-acting formula works to repair skin’s natural lipid barrier, which minimizes fine lines and wrinkles and helps prevent dry skin and even balance oil production for those with oily skin. The result is a healthier, younger-looking glow that gives moisture a whole new meaning.

The Bottom Line
All skin needs oil. For those with dry skin, oil is key to help supplement sluggish sebum production and help increase the barrier properties that help hold in the skin’s natural water-based hydration, and helping the skin to maintain thickness and function regularly. For those with oily skin, it has been shown that using products that contain botanical oils can actually curb oil production in the skin. The over-production of oil in many cases is a defense mechanism. When we use products that are designed to deep cleanse the skin (particularly those found in acne skin care products), the skin’s natural response is to over-produce oil to supplement the skin’s essential need to have oil in the skin to function normally.
