Pick by Skin Type

 

Choosing the right facial oil depends on your skin type, concerns, and how you plan to use it (e.g., sealing in moisture at night vs. adding glow in the morning). Here’s a simple guide:

🔍 Pick by Skin Type

🧴 Dry Skin

• Needs: Deep nourishment, moisture retention

• Best oils:

  • Marula – rich in antioxidants and fatty acids

  • Argan – lightweight but deeply moisturizing

  • Avocado – thick and ultra-nourishing

  • Rosehip – regenerative and great for flaky, dry skin

🌿 Oily / Acne-Prone Skin

• Needs: Balance oil production without clogging pores

• Best oils:

  • Jojoba – mimics skin’s natural sebum

  • Hemp seed – non-comedogenic, calming

  • Squalane – ultra-light, fast-absorbing

  • Tea tree (spot treatment only) – antibacterial, not for full-face use

😌 Sensitive Skin

• Needs: Soothing, non-irritating ingredients

• Best oils:

  • Camellia seed – calming, antioxidant-rich

  • Calendula – anti-inflammatory

  • Blue tansy – reduces redness and irritation

👵 Mature Skin

• Needs: Firmness, elasticity, and nourishment

• Best oils:

  • Rosehip – high in vitamin A for skin renewal

  • Pomegranate seed – antioxidant-rich

  • Sea buckthorn – supports skin repair and elasticity

🕓 When to Use Facial Oils

• PM: After moisturizer to seal in hydration

• AM: Under SPF (light oils only) or mixed with foundation for a glow

🧪 Look For:

• “Cold-pressed” or “unrefined” oils (better quality, more nutrients)

• Non-comedogenic ratings (lower scores = less likely to clog pores)

• Simple formulas—especially if your skin is reactive
