5 ways to use OmmBIO BARBARIE Prickly Pear Seed Oil

1. As a treatment for dark circles

The prickly pear seed oil is 150% more powerful than argan oil for dark circles due to its high percentage of vitamin E, and it also contains a lot of vitamin K, which is known for brightening the skin and reducing the appearance of dark circles, hyperpigmentation, and dark spots. On the other hand, the high levels of amino acids make prickly pear seed oil the ideal product to stimulate collagen production, promote cell renewal, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. 

2. To treat oily skin

Contrary to popular belief, oily skin does need to be hydrated, and prickly pear oil is perfect for this as its high cellulose content helps balance the pH. It also contains mucilage and vitamin C, which regulates excess oil while helping you maintain healthy skin. Prickly pear oil has a very light consistency that is quickly absorbed, so it won't leave greasy or oily residues. On the other hand, ePrickly pear seed oil is non-comedogenic, so you can safely use it every night, ideally after cleansing your skin, without fear of clogging your pores.

3. To treat acne

It is statistically likely that you will experience one or two breakouts at least once in your life. From hormones to food allergies, the skin on our face is extremely delicate and often responds to the stressors in our body in the form of acne. While it is easy to apply a chemical treatment to quickly dry out a breakout, one of the best ways to ensure that acne does not persist and cause permanent damage to your face is to work with products that not only treat the symptoms but also address the underlying causes of acne, such as excessive oil production. AJust like its innovative anti-aging properties, prickly pear oil contains many components that reduce acne and redness, making it the perfect natural remedy for skin conditions.

4. As an anti-aging treatment

Because this oil is rich in vitamins, it is a powerful anti-aging formula. Properties such as collagen, elastin, and GAGs keep the skin hydrated, firm, and elastic. Once the aging process begins, these natural properties of the skin start to diminish, and the skin stops producing them naturally.

Increasing collagen, elastin, and GAG in the skin through external products is an easy task and, in most cases, will drastically reduce the appearance of fine lines, discoloration, and sagging.

And that natural boost is found in the form of vitamins, amino acids, and antioxidants, ingredients that are all present in prickly pear oil. Vitamin E, one of the best and most widely used natural anti-aging treatments, is found in the highest concentration in prickly pear seed oil.

5. To prevent damage from sunlight

The ultraviolet radiation from the sun promotes the production of vitamin D in your body, but it can also have a negative impact. However, the flavonoids and vitamin E in prickly pear oil can help reduce sunburn, skin damage, and photocarcinogenesis. Once the skin absorbs vitamin E, it can also contribute to antioxidant defenses and absorb some of the ultraviolet light emitted by the sun. Additionally, if you suffer from sunburn, prickly pear oil is an excellent way to soothe and repair your skin.
