Unrefined Opuntia Seed Oil Your Natural Side

**Usage Instructions:** **As a Face Cream Alternative:** Apply a few drops directly to damp skin on the entire face, neck, and décolletage, or use it as a spot treatment. For enhanced effect, you can pre-mix the oil with your favorite floral water or hyaluronic acid gel to provide the skin with more valuable ingredients. **As a Body Balm:** Apply the oil immediately after a bath. Applying to pre-moistened skin will not only make the application easier but will also aid in absorption. For a lazy option, add 1-2 tablespoons of the oil to a warm bath. After the bath, a thin layer of oil will remain on the skin, which you can massage in or leave to absorb. **For Massaging Specific Body Parts:** Use the oil alone or mix it with another oil, such as sweet almond oil, grape seed oil, or rice oil, to achieve a more oily consistency. Warm the mixture in your hands and massage into the desired areas. You can also add various natural essential oils. **To Enrich Creams/Lotions:** Mix the oil with your favorite cream or lotion in your hand just before use and then massage it into your skin. **As a Scalp Mask:** Massage 2 tablespoons of the oil into your scalp at least 1 hour before washing to provide valuable nutrients. **As a Hair Mask:** Apply to dry or damp hair (moistened with water and/or aloe/hyaluronic gel) at least 20 minutes before washing, then rinse with a gentle shampoo. You can also leave this mixture on your hair for an extended period, such as overnight. If you've used too much oil, first apply a portion of hair conditioner to emulsify the oil, then rinse with shampoo. **To Protect Hair Ends:** Rub a few drops of the oil into dry or damp hair ends. **For Calloused Skin:** Massage a small amount of the oil into rough skin on heels, elbows, or knees. You can also use the oil as an aid in regenerative care for cracked heels or dry hands. To do this, massage the oil into the skin of the heels/hands before bed (for example, in addition to your regular cream), then put on cotton socks/gloves. You can also wrap your feet/hands in foil beforehand. **As a Nail Conditioner:** Massage a few drops of the oil into nails and cuticles. You can also add a few drops of castor oil. **As a Conditioner for Eyelashes and Eyebrows:** Spread the oil along the length of your eyelashes and eyebrows, being careful not to get oil in your eyes. **As a Face Mask:** Mix a few drops of the oil with a portion of your chosen clay or clays, add your favorite floral water, and stir until you achieve a paste-like consistency. Apply the mixture for about 15 minutes, then rinse off. In the meantime, spray your skin with plant water to prevent the mask from drying out completely.
