That the texture of the oil is not appropriate for oily skin is a myth. Many women think that using it will add more sebum to their skin, and it does not. But, of course, you have to be selective.
The best facial oil for your skin
If your skin is combination (with fat in the T zone: forehead, nose and chin) or with an acne tendency, these are the most suitable facial oils for you:
- Makeup remover oil. You can use it without problem. The oil has a great affinity for sebum (remember that both are fatty), so it cleans effectively without drying out. Of course, you have to rinse the skin very well at the end of the facial cleansing.
- "Convenience" oils. The texture of the oil is very fashionable, but only certain oils are good for oily skin. For example, argan, hazelnut, evening primrose, geranium and neem (a tree from India) reduce the secretion of fat; and black cumin and manuka oils are purifying.
- What about essential oils? Here you have to be more careful. Some of them, like those of eucalyptus, mint and pepper, can irritate the skin; but others, such as thyme and tea tree oil, regulate excess sebum and fight acne.
The power of vegetable oils
Despite their oily appearance, do not get carried away by appearances, because these natural oils from fruits, seeds or other parts of plants are very rich in minerals, vitamins and essential fatty acids for the skin.
They nourish and hydrate like a cream and are sometimes better than these. Especially if they are too dense or enriched, since, in the case especially of oily skin, these clog the pores.
Cosmetic laboratories are perfecting this texture and you can already find many oils that absorb quickly and specify "dry touch" on their packaging .
And also inside. In addition to applying it to the skin, you can help yourself with nutricosmetics. If you take evening primrose oil pearls daily for at least 2-3 months, you will notice how your skin is balanced and less oily.
