Review- Juicy Chemistry Grapeseed Oil and The Right Way to Use it

Lately I have been reading a lot about carrier oils and essential oils, some of the oils that really intrigued me were rosehip oil, grapeseed, tamanu oil and tea tree and rosemary essential oils because of the fascinating benefits they offer. I have heard really good things about the brand Juicy Chemistry, so I decided to buy their grapeseed oil and tea tree essential oil.

Juicy Chemistry Grapeseed Oil

Ingredient Analysis-

Extracted from Grape seeds, Grapeseed oil is very lightweight due to the high amounts of linoleic acids. I bought this because of my excessive oily skin , the sebum ( natural oil produced by our skin) of oily skin tends to be very high in oleic acid and low in linoleic acid. The more the oleic acid in any oil the thicker it is such as olive oil, castor oil and oils with high linoleic acid are light such as rosehip oil, grapeseed oil. This is the reason oily skin has very thick and sticky sebum in comparison to other skin types which leads to clogged pores and acne. Thus, applying oils rich in linoleic acid can help balance out the oily skin’s oleic and linoleic acid content and also reduce acne.

                                    Due to the high linoleic acid it can go rancid quickly therefore it is provided in a dark glass bottle and may have a shelf life of 3-6 months.

Usage-

 Take a small amount in your fingertips and gently message onto affected area. Leave it open until completely absorbed.

 

The right way to use facial oils-

1.       Use on damp skin-

I like to use facial oils on slightly damp skin as it helps in better absorption and prevents clogged pores. So, I just use some FabIndia rosewater or Innisfree Green Tea Moisture Skin ( you can use any other toner of your choice, or even just plain water) on my face and then gently pat the facial oil- 3-4 drops on my face and 2-3 drops on my neck.

2.       Exfoliate Regularly-

Exfoliation is one of the important steps in skincare routine which becomes even more important if you are using facial oils especially if you have greasy skin, exfoliating removes the layer of dead skin cells from your skin which when piled results in clogged pores as everything that you apply is going to be absorbed by the dead cells rather than your new cells.

3.      Sunscreen-

The Most important part in any skin care routine, doesn’t matter if its raining or anything the sun rays are still there you gotta make sure that you use an “effective” sunscreen, because you might use the most extraordinary products on your  skin, if you don’t use sunscreen its all in vain. So use your sunscreen, you don’t want sun damage right.

My Expierience with Juicy Chemistry Grapeseed Oil-

I’ll be honest with you guys I was really skeptical when I bought this , because whenever I bought some produts from somewhat newly introduced brands with some really interesting claims and products , they never worked for me. Especially when it comes to organic skin care, I don’t trust much brands. But I never given up on the hope that someday I’ll find a budget friendly organic skin care brands that is Indian and their products actually work. So, I kept my fingers crossed and bought 2 products from Juicy Chemistry. I decided to try this product for atleast 2-3 months before writing the review, because every single product does takes some time to show results and I have  stopped thinking of skincare products as of some sorcery , diet and exercise played a huge role in transforming my face from full of acne to somewhat clear skin after ages.

                         I have used this facial oil for more than 3 months but I didn’t notice any reduction in my acne or sticky sebum and my skin still produces sebum like it was just born to do this. May be its just me, because everyone’s skin is different and skin care products show different results on different skins, but this is legit one of the best moisturisers I have ever used and if you have oily skin and looking for a moisturiser then babe, you gotta give this a try and I love this because it did not cause me acne or clogged pores because my skin reacts to every single product it doesn’t like.

Pros-

·         Great Lightweight moisturiser for oily skin.

·         Affordable.

·         Comes in a dark glass bottle.

·         Did not cause acne.

Cons-

·         Does not reduce acne or oil production.
