Which natural oil for my face?
While some oils are highly effective for nourishing and repairing hair and even eyelashes and eyebrows, such as castor oil, others are more effective for combating skin aging and treating problem skin (eczema, psoriasis, wounds, burns, etc.).
Soothe your skin with sweet almond oil
Sweet almond oil has indispensable qualities for dry skin: nourishing, softening and soothing, it is even suitable for babies' skin. Although it doesn't replace a daily moisturizer, sweet almond oil can be used on the face. It is particularly recommended for dry to atopic skin, as it is rich in fatty acids and rebuilds the hydrolipidic film. Rich in zinc, it relieves eczema and psoriasis, and helps prevent bacterial infections caused by dry skin. The oil nourishes the affected area and soothes itching.
In addition to nourishing the skin, sweet almond oil prevents dehydration and improves elasticity. This makes it an invaluable ally for mature skin.
When added to sugar, it adds nourishing properties to a homemade scrub, gently removing dead cells from the face and body.
Nourished skin thanks to coconut oil and avocado oil
In the same style, coconut oil is also very nourishing. Comedogenic, it can tend to "suffocate" the skin. So it's best to apply it to small, targeted areas (especially if you want to use it on the face) to soften them without creating imperfections such as pimples or blackheads.
When it comes to nutrition, don't miss avocado oil either, one of the star vegetable oils in this field. And with good reason: it contains over 50% monounsaturated fatty acids. Regenerating, it is all the more effective at night, when it can help rebuild your damaged hydrolipidic film.
Rebalance your skin's pH with jojoba oil
Contrary to popular belief, oily skin and vegetable oils are not necessarily enemies. Before gently moisturizing, it's a good idea to rebalance the pH of your oily skin. To do this, there's nothing better than jojoba vegetable oil, a champion in this field.
By depositing a non-greasy film on the skin's surface, jojoba oil combats dehydration. It retains water in the cells and limits water loss. Non-comedogenic, it won't clog pores. In fact, oil is not synonymous with pimples and blackheads. It is one of the vegetable oils suitable for children and babies. Jojoba oil has a nourishing, protective, rebalancing and softening action. Its regenerating properties and the fact that it helps maintain firm skin make it an excellent anti-aging oil. In short, jojoba oil is excellent for all generations!
It is also suitable for dry skin. Its fatty acid content makes it extremely nourishing. A natural emollient, this waxy oil helps maintain supple, youthful skin.
