What oils would you recommend for a good polished shine? I’m thinking of adding oils to my lotions, for a better benefit. So far I’ve looked at Argan oil and Vitamin E

Oh, on legs and arms

Let's look at the six best choices and you can pick the best fit by skin type, needs, availability and price. As far as beneficial anti-oxidants, etc., it's almost a toss-up- some are a bit better in one area, some a bit better in other areas - - - this is why you see so many blends - - - the maker takes the best feature of each and mixes! Anyway, these aren't listed in any order of preference, but here goes - - -
1. Coconut oil. It's a semi-solid at room temperature. It smells awesome. It is a rather heavy oil, so you want to use it on chronically dry skin and not on oily skin. Widely available, low to moderate cost.
2. Argan oil. Ok to use with oily skin since it tends to balance out the sebum. Rich, luxurious feel. Some brands may be a bit odiferous. Moderate to expensive cost.
3. Jojoba oil. Really a plant ester, not an oil. But blends well with others as well as a standalone for all but the driest skin types. Moderate cost.
4. Marula nut oil. Relative newcomer, gaining popularity, good protection from the environment for normal to somewhat dry skin. Lightweight, silky feel. Moderate cost.
5. Rose hip seed oil. Gentle oil, great for dry or mature skin and mixes well. It has a "dry" finish, meaning it soaks in well and does not leave any greasy feel. Moderate cost, available in better-stocked venues.
6. Sweet almond oil. Mild, long-established, practical oil. Excellent blender, penetrates any type of skin well, good emollient. Stores very well. Inexpensive to low cost, widely available.

If you want, I'll be happy to take some private messages on this to help work through your choices with you and make suggestions/ answer questions. There are a few more things to know, but I didn't to overload you all at once- plus I'm running out of letters ;- ) MM

Thank you.
Yeah I’ve tried coconut oil awhile back in the summer to prevent sunburn and get a tan. But I developed a rash on my arms. So, now I’m careful with coconut oil on my skin, so I use it on my hair and mouthwash.
And just recently I used the Oil Cleansing Method for my face. To clear up some acne, what kinda worked was grape seed oil and avocado oil. The grape seed did help with the acne but dried my face. So the avocado oil saved my face and is clear 😊. And the reason I’m asking about the shine and polished look lol is I meant to add more moisture on my skin. So it can look and be healthy. I’m in extreme weather conditions where I’m at. The winter dries my skin. So now I’m being picky on trying to find the right moisturizer and thinking of adding oils for a better benefit.

And I tried to PM you about these questions, but your profile wouldn’t let me. It’s only on who you follow.

I've followed if you want to PM.
There are three basic components that go into a lotion/cream product:
1. moisturizers
2. humectants (things that holds onto moisture)
3. protectants
There is also the term "emollient" which means "soothing". But that is a result rather than an ACTION.
1. The cheapest moisturizer is (drum roll, please ) WATER! The problem is that as the skin ages, it has less tendency to hold onto water. Plus, some people's skin is just less able to hold water!
2. The cheapest (arguable?) humectant is anhydrous GLYCERIN. Glycerin is hydroscopic, that is, it LOVES water! Check the labels of lotions, etc - odds are that glycerin is on them. (more on this in a minute)
3. The cheapest protectant is - PETROLEUM JELLY (aka Vaseline).
Take varying amounts of each, mix and you get a cream. More water= lotion. Less water = ointment, and so on. Of course manufacturers add fragrances & preservatives.

But here's a way to "make fresh" each day. It takes a while, but you might want to try it out.
After bathing, leave your skin ever so slightly damp. Rub (really well) a few drops of glycerin into the area being treated. Allow it to dry , maybe a minute. Your skin will feel tacky/waxy. That's good and to be expected. Add a few drops more of water, re-rub well into the skin, let dry. Add a few more drops of water, re-re-rub, let dry. Each time, you are binding more and more water with the anhydrous glycerin making it hydrated, and thereby hydrating your skin. Yes, your skin may still feel a tiny bit tacky/waxy after doing this water/rub/dry sequence a few times, but most people get over that in exchange for softer, more supple skin.

And here's a bonus: when you are done rubbing the glycerin onto your legs, etc., wipe your hands through your hair with a couple drops of water to add some shine at no extra cost. (Don't get glycerin in your eyes or in your rectum. You have been warned.) :- )

Give this a try and see how it works for you! MM

Looks like potentially good, if the THC can be refined out of it.

The "jury is still deciding" this one. Looks like decent prospects, especially if the THC can be refined out of it.
