Which oils should be used for blemished skin?

Skins prone to blemishes often have a tendency to be combination to oily. They are characterised by an overactivity of the sebaceous glands, which begin to produce sebum excessively, giving the face a shiny and glossy appearance. In response to this imbalance, the pores dilate even more, allowing sebum to accumulate. Indeed, the skin is not capable of absorbing beyond its needs. Thus, the excess sebum ends up clogging the pores, which leads to the appearance of blemishes such as pimples or blackheads.

However, combination to oily skin types are not the only ones that can be prone to blemishes. The dry skin, dehydrated skin, etc... can also be affected. Nevertheless, many other factors can also be the cause of blemished skin: unbalanced diet, unsuitable beauty routine, comedogenic or overly abrasive, hormonal disorders (puberty, menopause, change in contraception, menstrual cycle, etc...), smoking, alcohol, pollution, lack of sleep and other excesses... Therefore, it is fundamental to choose gentle, purifying and balancing care, adapted to one's skin problems, to regain a healthy epidermis.

To regain their balance, blemished skin requires gentleness. It is therefore appropriate to favour light, non-comedogenic vegetable oils, which are penetrating, with healing, purifying, anti-bacterial and regulating properties to treat this type of skin. The best vegetable oils for blemished skin are the jojoba vegetable oils and hazelnut oils. They will notably regulate excess sebum, combat blemishes, tighten pores, rebalance the skin, hydrate and nourish it:
