We’re all looking for nature’s secret to better-looking skin. Hydration and sun protection are key to healthy-looking skin as they fight the signs of ageing. Oils are rich in fatty acids and lipids, which help to seal moisture into the skin. Oils can nourish the skin externally and act as a barrier to pollutants.
Here are the top 9 oils to use for better-looking skin:
Jojoba Oil: Mimics the skin’s natural oils, which makes it suitable for all skin types. Jojoba oil is moisturizing and helps balance oil production from the pores.
Argan Oil: is rich in vitamin E and fatty acids. It is hydrating and can help to improve the skin’s elasticity.
Coconut Oil: is one of my personal favourites as other oils tend to sit on the skin for a while before it is actually absorbed. Coconut oil is high in saturated fats, is moisturizing and can help to soothe dry skin. However, it might be comedogenic for some people, so it’s best to patch test before using it on the face.
Rosehip Oil: Packed with vitamins, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids, rosehip oil can help brighten the skin, reduce hyperpigmentation, and also improve elasticity over time.
Sweet Almond Oil: another personal favourite that I can vouch for. Sweet almond oil is lightweight and easily absorbed, and rich in vitamin E. It can help to moisturize and soothe the skin.
Grapeseed Oil: this non-comedogenic oil is suitable for oily or acne-prone skin. Grapeseed oil is also lightweight and moisturizing.
Tea Tree Oil: is known for its antibacterial properties, tea tree oil can help treat acne and soothe inflammation. However, it should be diluted before it is directly applied to the skin.
Marula Oil: is rich in antioxidants and omega fatty acids, marula oil can hydrate the skin and improve the overall texture of your skin.
Avocado Oil: this deeply moisturizing oil is rich in vitamins A, D, and E. Avocado oil can help nourish and rejuvenate dry or mature skin.
