Why Oiling Belly Button?
I know you are wondering that how can applying oil in the belly button help me improve my skin? Why is belly button important here? Don’t worry I’ve got u covered.
Belly button has its importance since we are in our mother’s belly. As a baby we get all the essential nutrients to grow from our bellies. The umbilical cord is attached to our belly. It is also said that our belly button is the first part of our body and hence shows that it is the starting point of our lives.
Now from scientific research, we know that our body has thousands of veins and blood vessels that are connected directly or close to our belly button. Stimulating these veins help to improve the body functions related to these veins, i.e, most of the body. Thus, anything applied to our belly button will benefit our entire body.
Skin Benefits Of Oiling Belly Button:
Here are some skin benefits of oiling your belly button. Oiling the belly button will have more benefits if you choose the right oils for your skin type. Each oil has different beneficial properties for our body so choosing the right type of oil is going to increase the results. Also, make sure the oils you use are 100% natural to avoid any side effects as our belly button soaks up whatever we apply to it.
1- Heals Acne and Inflammation:
If you have oily or acne-prone skin then using neem oil for massaging your belly button is your way to go. Neem oil has anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties that help to heal any kind of infection or inflammation on your skin. Thus, it helps to heal acne, blemishes, whiteheads, and blackheads. Oiling your belly button with neem oil can also help to reduce acne scars.
2- Makes Your Skin Glow:
If you want general improvement in your skin health and want that extra glow on your face then opt for almond oil to massage your belly button. It is best if you have a slightly dry or combination skin type. Almond oil is rich in antioxidants and vitamin E which act as a skin food. It can also help to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, make your skin soft and plump, and leave you with glowing smooth skin.
3- Moisturizes The Body:
People with dry skin hear me out. Oiling belly button is the only method you need to keep your entire body moisturized and crack free. Applying moisturizer all over your body equals oiling your belly button with mustard oil. So which one is easier, I’ll leave it up to you to decide. A part from moisturizing, mustard oil also helps to reduce inflammation and provide healthy glow to the skin. It also helps to get rid of dry chapped lips.
4- Improves Hair Quality:
The method of belly button oiling helps to improve overall hair health. You will notice increased hair growth, improved hair texture (the hair will be less frizzy), and stronger hair (less hair fall and hair breakage). Blackseed oil is best for this purpose. It can also reverse grey hair. Blackseed has a lot of skin benefits too. Check them out in this post: Things To Know Before Using Black Seeds
