In a dry climate like Saudi Arabia, the skin and body suffer from rapid moisture loss, making the search for an effective natural oil extremely important to get rid of dryness and restore moisture. Here, sesame oil stands out as one of the oldest and most powerful natural oils used in skin and body care, thanks to its ability to deeply moisturize, protect the skin, and improve its texture without weighing down or closing the pores.
In this comprehensive guide, we reveal to you the benefits of sesame oil for the skin and body in a scientific and practical way, and explain how it can be used correctly within a daily routine or through Laveminette products specially designed for safe and balanced care.
What is sesame oil and why is it used in skincare?
Sesame oil is a natural vegetable oil extracted from sesame seeds. It is known for its ability to penetrate the skin rather than remain on the surface, which distinguishes it from many other oils.
Its natural composition and fatty acid content
Sesame oil contains a number of vital components that are important for the skin, such as:
- Natural fatty acids that support skin hydration
- Antioxidants help protect the skin from environmental factors
- Nutrients that contribute to improving skin elasticity and texture
This unique composition of sesame oil makes it suitable for daily use, especially for skin that is dry or tight after showering.
The history of sesame oil in traditional medicine and body care
Sesame oil has been used for centuries by our ancestors in:
traditional medicine
Massage
Moisturize your skin after showering
Even today, it remains a key ingredient in many modern skincare formulations, because it delivers tangible results without being harsh on the skin.
Benefits of sesame oil for the skin
Three key points highlight the benefits of sesame oil for the skin:
Deep hydration for dry skin
One of the most important benefits of sesame oil for the skin is its ability to deeply moisturize the skin, as follows:
Compensates for the lack of natural oils
Reduces the appearance of dryness and flaking
It gives the skin a soft and comfortable feel.
It is suitable for daily use, especially for dry skin affected by natural elements or frequent bathing.
Supports the skin barrier and protects against dryness.
Sesame oil helps protect skin cells by:
Strengthening the skin's natural barrier
Reduce moisture loss
Protecting the skin from external factors
With regular use of sesame oil and its incorporation into the daily skincare routine, the skin becomes more balanced and less prone to irritation.
Use it after a bath or before bedtime.
The best ways to use sesame oil for the skin:
Immediately after showering, on slightly damp skin
Or before bed as a nighttime moisturizer
In both cases, the oil works to lock in moisture and give the skin a smoothness that lasts until the next day.
Benefits of sesame oil for the body
Sesame oil for the body after showering
Sesame oil is an ideal choice for moisturizing the body after showering, especially in dry environments or with frequent bathing. When applied to slightly damp skin, it helps restore the skin's natural balance and reduces moisture loss caused by soap and water. It also relieves tightness and dryness, leaving skin noticeably soft for hours, without leaving an unpleasant greasy residue when used sparingly and evenly.
Its use in massage and relaxation
Sesame oil is widely used in massage and body care sessions thanks to its suitable texture and ease of sliding on the skin. It helps to relax tired muscles after a long day, and gives a pleasant feeling of warmth and comfort during the massage. It also facilitates hand movement without strong friction, making it a suitable option for skin that is sensitive to heavy oils or strong perfumes.
Relieving dryness in rough areas
Sesame oil helps improve the texture of areas most prone to dryness and friction, such as:
The knees.
Elbows.
And the heels.
With regular use, deep moisturizing helps reduce roughness and surface cracks, and makes these areas smoother and more even with the rest of the body, especially when incorporated into a continuous post-shower care routine.
Sesame oil for dark skin and dark areas
Sesame oil does not work as an instant whitener, but it offers a number of benefits for affected skin:
It helps improve the appearance of skin tone.
Reduces dullness caused by dryness
It makes the skin tone appear more even with continued use.
Therefore, it is suitable for dark skin as part of a regular moisturizing routine.
