Which face oil should you use depending on your skin type and needs?

Fine, delicate and often uncomfortable, dry skin needs to be nourished and softened to prevent the appearance of early wrinkles and fine lines. How can you do this? By providing it with lipids and protecting it from dehydration with protective, nourishing carrier oils that form a protective hydrolipidic film, helping to maintain good skin hydration and giving it a glowing, radiant appearance!

Contrary to what you might think, carrier oils are ideal for combination and oily skin, as long as you choose fine, penetrating oils. Jojoba, hazelnut and desert date oils regulate, moisturise and nourish the skin without adding excess lipids. They penetrate the skin without leaving a greasy film, giving the complexion a velvety matte finish.

Do you feel like your sensitive skin reacts quickly and can't tolerate any cosmetics? As they are very gentle and well-tolerated, carrier oils are ideal daily skincare products for delicate skin, helping to restore comfort and suppleness to sensitive skin. For skin that's neither tight nor red, opt for oils rich in omega 3, phytosterols and antioxidants, such as camelina, chaulmoogra and touloucouna oils.

Over the years, skin tends to become thinner, drier and less firm. To keep skin looking younger and firmer, carrier oils are a real go-to! Ideally, choose carrier oils with a high concentration of retinoids, such as a rosehip oil, and essential fatty acids, which help to regenerate the skin, making it supple and nourished and preventing dehydration.

Pollution, smoking, lack of sleep, stress… are all factors that can lead to dull skin and a 'grey' complexion. To regain a fresh, radiant complexion, the skin needs to be detoxified by thorough cleansing and regular exfoliation, then brightened up with 'healthy glow' oils rich in antioxidants and carotenoids.
