Benefits of Tamanu Oil for Skin
According to Dr. Loretta, tamanu oil is becoming widely used in the skincare world for its antibacterial properties as well as its hydrating and anti-aging benefits.
“It is reported to help protect skin from UV-induced damage, promote glyco-amino-glycan production (the most common of these is hyaluronic), and support collagen. It is also very hydrating since it is high in healthy moisture-trapping skin oils.”
It’s worth repeating: tamanu oil helps reduce signs of aging. Whether you’ve spent too much time in the sun or you’re trying to stave off fine lines, tamanu oil is a powerhouse ingredient to fight against sunburns, UV light exposure, and wrinkles by stimulating collagen production.
And, of course, as a thick, occlusive oil, it’s a great way to finish off your routine if you have dry skin or even skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis.
The Benefits of Using Tamanu Oil in Your Haircare Routine
Like many cold-pressed carrier oils, tamanu oil has a variety of uses. One of them: it’s a great oil to try adding to your haircare routine. Tamanu oil can be applied directly to the hair after shampooing or as a moisturizing pre-wash. Hair oiling is another newly-mainstream trend, though many cultures have been practicing it for years.
If you’re not convinced yet, below are a few more reasons why you should consider incorporating tamanu oil into your haircare routine.
- Strengthens your strands
