Hi Marti,

My mom has dark circles under her eyes and wants to know if solar oil will get rid of the circles, and not just the bags.

TY.

Dark circles are attributed to aging in that the skin underneath the eye is naturally very thin and thins even more with age. I use the Solar Oil mixture under my eyes, or mix my own with jojoba and vitamin E. It has helped greatly with dark circles. Mine were attributed to a sugar problem along with aging, and they are WAY less now.

What is Solar Ray?

Marti · 02-18-2003, 06:38 AM

It isn't Solar Ray, it is Solar OIL. Solar Oil is a combination of 4 essential oils: Sweet Almond Oil, Rice Bran Oil, Jojoba Oil and Vitamin E.

Jojoba Oil is a light, penetrating oil that is most like your skin’s natural oils. It gently opens the skin’s pores to receive the other moisturizing and anti-aging agents.

Rice Bran Oil is a natural preserving, softening and conditioning agent that is one of the beauty secrets of the Orient.

Sweet Almond Oil is a delightful, fragrant oil that softens skin allowing the other ingredients to penetrate deeply and quickly, preventing nails from getting brittle while promoting nail growth.

Vitamin E Oil acts as a natural blocking agent to the aging process prolonging it’s life span. It will rid the skins surface layer of the free-radicals that contribute to pre-mature aging, wrinkles and other 'stuff'. Combining Vitamin E Oil and Jojoba Oil produces the synergistic effect for the deepest and most effective form of moisture penetration available.

Solar Oil is used mainly to condition the cuticles and nail plate, but many have found its benefits as a skin conditioning moisturizer for the face, hands, elbows and feet along with other skin that tends to be dry. It can be purchased through your local nail salon, or in Ulta Cosmetic outlets nationwide. It comes in a very small bottle - usually 1 oz, and is not very inexpensive. This is why I have been recommending mixing your own.
