Which oil(s) should be used for combination skin?

To achieve healthy and balanced skin, combination skin needs to be gently nourished and hydrated. Contrary to popular belief, plant oils do not make the skin oilier. However, it is important to choose an oil that is penetrating, rebalancing, hydrating, nourishing, and regulating. The jojoba plant oil is the ideal candidate. It is known for having a composition very similar to human sebum and thus offers a sebum-regulating, protective, and rebalancing action for the skin. Non-comedogenic and enriched with unsaturated fatty acids (gadoleic acid, palmitic acid, palmitoleic acid, oleic acid, etc...), the jojoba oil is quickly absorbed by the skin to regulate sebum production and hydrate it. Moreover, with the numerous vitamins present in jojoba, the skin will be deeply nourished.

Just like jojoba oil, hazelnut vegetable oil is also recommended for combination skin types. Non-comedogenic and rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids (linoleic acid, etc...), it regulates sebum secretion and tightens pores, thus preventing any infections. The hazelnut oil also contains monounsaturated fatty acids (oleic acid, omega-6, etc...) that nourish the skin deeply and protect it against external aggressions without leaving a greasy film on the surface. Moreover, the vitamin E it contains has an antioxidant action to protect the skin from free radicals and fight against premature skin ageing. However, people allergic to oilseeds must perform an allergy test before using it.
