The fight against natural skin aging should begin as early as possible, even before visible signs of aging appear. The cosmetics industry has something to offer us to solve this problem, but to achieve an impressive result, it is not necessary to spend impressive sums on industrially produced creams, masks and lotions. If you are looking for an effective natural remedy to preserve youth and solve other existing skin problems, we recommend paying attention to peach seed oil.
Properties of peach oil
Peach oil is obtained from the fruit seeds after the pulp has been separated; The cold-press method allows you to extract from peach kernels everything that is most valuable for the skin: fatty acids (oleic, linoleic, palmitic), vitamins, lecithin. This oil is characterized by a rather liquid consistency and a barely noticeable aroma reminiscent of almonds.
A real elixir for the skin is hidden in the peach pit, the main thing is that the oil must be obtained by cold pressing, and not by chemical extraction
Taking into account the properties of this product, peach oil can be characterized as a universal skin care product:
- spreads easily over the skin and is quickly absorbed without leaving a sticky feeling;
- used as a base for the preparation of multi-component care mixtures, promotes deeper penetration of biologically active substances into the skin;
- hypoallergenic, does not cause irritation for children and people with sensitive skin;
- multifunctional, can be used to care for the skin of the face, eyelids, lips, body, as well as to strengthen hair and eyelashes;
- Suitable for any skin type, but especially for dry, sensitive and mature skin.
With regular use, peach kernel oil improves skin color, increases turgor, restores hydrolipid balance, eliminates fine wrinkles, and reduces the visibility of spider veins. The anti-aging properties of this oil are significantly enhanced by the addition of essential oils and other active ingredients. In addition, this product can be used at all stages of skin care: from cleansing and makeup removal to daily moisturizing and masks.
The advantages of peach oil also include its relatively low cost, since the manufacturing industry is primarily interested in the production of juices and jams from the pulp of the fruit, and the seeds are a by-product.
Peach oil for hands
The skin of the hands is evidence of age and also shows how much a woman takes care of herself. Every day, the skin experiences negative impacts - washing with hard water, chemical-based washing products, cold winter air outside. Without proper care, your hands will very soon lose their attractive appearance.
Hand skin care is not complete without peach oil. To create a softening mask you will need yolk, honey and oil. Apply to rough areas (elbows, hands), wrap on top with polyethylene and wrap in a warm towel. It needs to be repeated every other day.
Lavender-peach makeup remover
To make a natural cleansing makeup remover, mix the following ingredients in a plastic bottle:
- 2 tablespoons of purified water;
- 2 teaspoons witch hazel or rose hydrosol;
- 2 tablespoons peach oil;
- 3 drops of lavender essential oil.
Store the mixture in the refrigerator. Before use, shake the bottle, apply a little emulsion to a cotton pad and cleanse the skin. Since this is a natural remedy, the whole process may take a little longer than you are used to. Makeup should be removed with gentle movements, placing the cotton pad firmly on the skin and lingering for a few seconds on the eyelashes and lips to allow the product to dissolve all makeup and impurities.
Peach oil gently cleanses the skin, and lavender oil gives the product a pleasant aroma.
This product effectively and delicately removes makeup and excess sebum without disturbing the hydrolipid balance of the skin or causing irritation; After cleansing there is no feeling of tightness or oiliness. As a bonus of this procedure, one can note the strengthening of eyebrows and eyelashes.
Daily skin care
Peach oil can be used in its pure form as an evening or morning express care: apply a few drops of oil to a face moistened with tonic and distribute with gentle movements along the massage lines. In frosty weather, carry out this procedure no earlier than 30 minutes before going outside.
Results of daily use of peach oil for 2 weeks
It is even more effective to apply oil after wiping your face with ice from an infusion of herbs: calendula and nettle for oily skin, rose, chamomile, linden blossom for dry skin, mint for combination skin. The oil (1-2 drops, the exact amount is selected individually) should be applied to a still damp face - together with the oil, the skin will absorb the necessary moisture and herbal extract. After 20 minutes, remove excess oil with a paper towel. After the procedure, the skin looks fresh and filled with moisture, and its elasticity increases.
When applying even 1 drop of oil to damp skin, a thin layer of emulsion is formed on the surface, which is easily distributed throughout the face, which helps to use the oil sparingly and not overload the skin. There is no point in applying more oil than the skin can absorb; In addition, it can lead to clogged pores.
To prepare effective skin care balms, use the following compositions of essential oils (based on 1 tablespoon of peach oil):
- for oily problem skin with inflammation - 4 drops of tea tree oil, 3 drops each of clove and chamomile oil, 2 drops of myrtle oil;
- for dry skin with the first signs of aging - 2 drops each of lavender, chamomile, neroli, rosemary and carrot seed oils;
- for combination skin prone to oily skin - 3 drops each of orange and ylang-ylang oils, 1 drop each of lavender and juniper oils;
- for skin with hyperpigmentation or acne marks - 3 drops each of lemon and ylang-ylang oil, 2 drops of cypress oil;
- for mature skin - 4 drops of neroli oil, 2 drops each of frankincense and rose oil, 1 drop of lavender oil.
This mixture should be stored in a dark place for no more than 6 months. Shake before use.
Face masks with peach oil
The undeniable advantage of peach kernel oil is its versatility: by adding various ingredients, you can prepare effective masks for different skin types.

For this mask you will need:
- 1 tablespoon of kiwi pulp, crushed into puree;
