Source
Sesame oil comes from sesame seeds. These are the seeds obtained from a variety of species in the broad genus
Sesamum
. The plants in this genus have a special ability. They tolerate drought very well. People of the ancient civilizations in India, China, Egypt and in Middle East discovered that sesame seeds are good for producing oil. Sesame oil is thus one of the oldest extracted oils in the history of human civilization. Sesame seeds are mainly of two types -
White sesame seeds - These are white or creamy in color. Oil obtained from these sesame seeds has a lighter color.
Black sesame seeds - These are dark in color, and the oil obtained from these seeds is dark in color.
There are other colors of sesame seeds as well, like yellow and red. There are many varieties of processed and adulterated sesame seed oil in the market. One should be wary of such oils. A good idea is to always go for cold pressed virgin, or extra virgin sesame seed oil, whether you want to use it in recipes or as massage oil.

Sesame oil should be applied directly to the facial skin. It improves the skin texture, making it softer and smoother. Because of its emollient properties, it moisturizes the skin.

Here is how to correctly massage using sesame oil. Warm sesame oil till it is just as warm as tepid water. Now apply it in copious amounts on the skin. The idea is to bathe the skin in this oil. Massage it firmly into the skin. Keep the oil on the skin for about 15 - 30 minutes. Wash the oil down with water. This is ideal for an early morning massage before the shower, although one can use it any time. This massage takes away many environmental toxins and internal toxins ( released by the liver to the skin ), leaving the body detoxified. In fact, skin is the largest organ on the body and a prominent means of releasing toxins for the body. On the contrary, we absorb toxins from the skin, many of which are trapped inside the skin. This massage also improves the blood circulation of the skin, making the skin perform better. According to Ayurveda, sesame oil is to used daily in the morning for a self massage , called Abhyanga . This massage is aimed to strengthen the tissues of the body, reduce physical stress, improve the appearance of skin and protect from advancing old age.
