On our blog we are obviously fans of vegetable oils which we consider to be the basis of any beauty ritual. They are used as day care, as an anti-aging serum, or as an intensive moisturizing treatment. Vegetable oils are numerous and can be mixed with each other or added with essential oils. Although they are fatty substances, they can be suitable for all skin types and for all uses for more natural beauty.
- Why does it make my skin less oily?
Oily and combination skin has greater sebaceous production than others. This means that the sebaceous glands in the face are more active and produce more sebum. This makes the skin shiny, and can lead to the formation of pimples or blackheads. Oily skin looks for light and fresh cosmetic products, possibly slightly alcoholic to “dry” the skin. However, this is a mistake because skin dried out by alcohol will tend to produce even more sebum later when it has to reconstitute the hydro-lipid film which protects the epidermis.
Defeat fat with fat.
You understand, it's better to defeat fat with fat. This is why oily and combination skin has every interest in using vegetable oils in daily facial care. See how vegetable oils penetrate the skin in video. Jojoba oil , for example, is a liquid wax that is similar to the skin's natural hydro-lipid film. It penetrates well and does not leave a greasy film. It will hydrate and soften the skin while calming the production of the sebaceous glands which no longer have to produce as much sebum as when they are confronted with alcohol or water from traditional products. Massage a few drops of jojoba into your hands and apply to the entire face. Leave to penetrate for a minute and then apply makeup if necessary. This same protocol can be used with macadamia , nigella or hazelnut oil , which are favorites for oily skin.
