Use: How to use black seed oil on the skin?
Pure use, directly on the skin
Black seed oil can be easily integrated into a beauty and well-being routine. On clean, dry skin, apply two to three drops directly to the face. Massage slowly, using circular movements over the entire surface of the face, focusing on the areas to be treated. For maximum effectiveness, the oil must penetrate well. It is important not to rinse the face after applying this oil.
Use in addition to other vegetable oils
Some damaged skin may not tolerate direct application of black seed oil (sometimes too powerful). In this case, it is preferable to mix black seed oil with other vegetable oils, such as jojoba oil or sweet almond oil in particular. Then use this mixture of oils in the same way, performing circular massages over the entire face, focusing on irritated or damaged parts. In some cases, it is also possible to combine black seed oil with your usual moisturizing milk or moisturizing cream.
