The nuts of the Australian macadamia tree undergo real trials to form - they have to withstand the ocean winds of hurricane force that destroy plantations and ruin trees. In such difficult conditions, plants could not fail to appear, which will bring very valuable fruits, useful both in medicine and in cosmetology.
They are used for arthritis, angina and even with a tendency to tumor diseases. A feature of nuts is fat, which contains monounsaturated palmitic acid, which is contained in human skin, and is therefore very valuable. Palmitic acid is practically not found in other plants, and this is what distinguishes macadamia oil from others. In part, it is similar to mink fat, and in its antioxidant properties is like vegetable wax, which is very difficult to harvest on other plants.
Due to these features, macadamia cosmetic oil is used to restore dry skin prone to wrinkles and roughness. Often this oil is used in perfumery due to the delicate aroma.

How to use macadamia oil?
Of course, the maximum effect of macadamia oil can be achieved by including it in your daily cosmetic diet. For macadamia oil to help with wrinkles, it should be used as a means for make-up. Apply a little oil on the cotton pad, remove make-up, and then wash with a washing-up liquid
A mask with macadamia oil and clay will help not only tighten the skin, but also deeply clean it: take 1 tablespoon. pink or white clay (they are ideal for wilting and dry skin) and mix with 1 tablespoon. macadamia oil. Apply the mask on the steamed face so that the substances penetrate deeper into the pores, and after 15 minutes, wash it off.
Also, using this oil, you can "modernize" the night cream. This is especially true for dry skin in winter, when it catastrophically lacks nutrition and moisturizing. Add macadamia oil to the cream in the calculation of 2 drops for 1 tsp. cream.
Macadamia oil can be added to various masks, not just personal preparation. This ingredient will make any product more nutritious, with a softening effect on the skin.
