We have earlier discussed what facial oils are and the different types of facial oils based on where they are derived from.
Now let’s see what facial oils are best for each skin type and what is in them that helps our skin…
MATURE / AGING SKIN
- ROSEHIP OIL
Rich in Vitamins A and essential fatty acids, Rosehip Oil is a powerful antioxidant. It naturally hydrates the skin, decreases the appearance of fine lines and improves skin elasticity. Natural source of the powerful antioxidants lycopene, which helps improve skin texture and offer protection against premature aging, and beta-carotene, which helps prevent free-radical damage responsible for skin aging.
- JOJOBA OIL
Jojoba oil is very unique that it closely resembles sebum and is non-comedogenic. It has good sealing effect to retain moisture and can help slow down the appearance of aging, and may fade fine lines and wrinkles. Jojoba oil contains Vitamin E, and also has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties.
- MOROCCAN ARGAN OIL
Beware! This is a high oleic fatty acid that is not suitable for oily skin types or other skin concerns such as rosacea or dermatitis.
- MARULA OIL
Marula Oil contains roughly 60 percent more antioxidants than other beauty oils like argan oil or grapeseed oil, in addition to higher levels of fatty acids like Omega 6 and 9. It is easily absorbed and won’t clog pores. Due to high oleic fatty acid content this oil is perfect for very dry, mature and aging skin.
Beware! This contains a high oleic fatty acid that is not suitable for oily or acne-prone skin types.
As we grow older we need to take care of our skin more than ever as the skin collagen and proteins are significantly diminished due to free radicals, sun damage and major pollutants.
