Sesame Oil

What it is: Derived from sesame seeds, this oil has a range of uses, from cooking to skin care. In Ayurvedic medicine, practitioners recommend topical application for self-massage and other soothing uses.

How it works: Full of fatty acids, sesame oil infuses moisture deep into parched skin and has a very high concentration of linoleic acid, which protects skin and has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
