Face Oils - What's Best For Your Skin Type?

  • This is the second part to my Skincare Chat about Moisturizers and it’s all about Facial Oils. These are powerful ingredients that really require a good understanding of which work for what skin type. They are supremely nourishing but some facial oils can be drying and straight up astringent, while others are pore clogging or cause skin irritation, sometimes severe. Continue to keep in mind that we all have different skin and the ability to tolerate different ingredients. The categories are SIMPLE guidelines for you. A lot of these oils have multiple uses and fall under more than one category like the oils in the anti-aging one which can also be for dry skin, oily skin etc.
    Since my skin can only tolerate certain oils that many others cannot, rather than featuring the oils I use, I would rather explain what is out there for all skin types. This video is purely to help you recognise ingredients in other oil blends out there or moisturisers.
    Hopefully this can give you a simple guideline to the oils we hear about and see the most in formulations. If you’re using severely drying treatments like Retin A, Peels, astringent or prescription acne treatments, the right oils can really return the proper moisture back into your skin. Many oils are also great at reducing inflammation and irritation. I can’t stress enough that when buying oils, you are getting what you pay for. Some oils like Argan are so labor intensive, if you find a cheap bottle out there, it’s over processed and diluted with cheap fillers.
    These fabulous oils are in a lot of the products I’ve reviewed and mentioned in previous videos so stay tuned, I will do another video with my favourite oil products.

    She is right about Argan oil causing acne or increased rosacea, and she's the only one I've heard mention this. Everyone else seems to extol the virtues of Argan oil ad infinitum, but I tried it and it honestly has caused breakouts on my chin AND not helped my rosacea. It also always felt oily on my skin, but rosehip seed oil feels "dry," and hemp oil also feels dry, so I cleanse my face with hemp oil and use rosehip for anti-aging only at night.

      @pinkcrazygirl 6 років тому +19

      Elizabeth Elliott Argan oil helped healing my acne alot faster plus it actually penetrates my skin. Unlike coconut oil which caused acne and felt like a greasy film. You mustn't use much argan oil. Or you skin doesn't like argan oil, maybw Jojoba or another oil will help you.

      I wish I could watch this earlier. Recently I just bought Argan Oil because they claimed that they can controil oil production and I didn’t know it’s very high on oleic oils which makes my face still oily after using it & even caused breakout.

    • @katlark
      @katlark 5 років тому +1

      Same with me for Argan oil! I’ll have to try rose hip oil and see if it works. How long before results were seen from rose hip oil?

    • @MaidMirawyn
      @MaidMirawyn 5 років тому +1

      Just another example of how skincare is definitely not one size fits all! Going gluten free greatly reduced my rosacea, but adding argan oil to my usual hemp oil for cleansing was the next most helpful thing I've done.
      It was thanks to this video that I had my “Aha!” moment regarding jojoba. My face does NOT like it! It’s great on my hair and cuticles, though.
      Six months without jojoba, four months with argan, and this is the mildest my rosacea has been in over a decade!

    99% of the videos I see on here talking about this drive me crazy. You can just tell that these people probably google 'best oils for your face' and spend ten minutes reading about it but have no actual understanding of the oils themselves and the real pros and cons to them. Your video deserves a lot more attention. Thanks so much for being this thorough and educational! Most people still have no clue what they're putting on their skin (A VERY IMPORTANT ORGAN) even when they've been told it's healthy for them by some big youtuber lmao.

    • @gothamista
      @gothamista  8 років тому +113

      +Ara Hi! Thank you so much, I really appreciate your comment! The only reason I have so much interest in oils is because all the blends from brands are marketed to be moisturizing, anti-aging etc. only to find out the hard way that my skin was getting drier and I started to break out...and I don't break out. I agree that many of us don't know what we're putting on our skin until we learn the hard way.

      tinaa140 I have the exact same skin. right now I'm trying to get my skin in shape. I use a bentonite clay mask mixed with apple cider vinegar. I know you don't want to use a clay mask because your skin is dry but the clay sucks out the acne, the Apple cider vinegar helps pH. I mix my moisturizer with organic cold pressed rosehip oil. 6-7 drops at night. 3-4 in the day. helps with scarring and moisturizes.

    People with oily skin must remember that they should wash their face only twice a day. frequent face wash can lead to drying of skin which will send the signal to create more oil. This can be counter productive.
    Also, a gel based moisturiser is a must to maintain skin barrier.

    I use rosehip oil as my nightly cream. I have oily skin and hormonal acne, and it really helped with uneven textured skin, scaring, uneven skin tone, etc. I know it is more for mature skin (and I'm in my 20's) but it works wonders so I'm keeping it! When my skin gets irritated, I use calendula/marigold oil. It's great for any type of irritation, it worked wonders overnight for a friend who had a really bad sunburn on her face.

      Eden Zak, I use it too despite I have slightly oily skin. I do Dilute it by blending it with pomegranate oil with is a less thick version, and grapeseed oil. Sometimes I'll make a honey lemon mask, mix with fresh aloe vera, or add coconut water before. All deoends in skin needs at the moment. LOVE how my skin oils balances, glows, plumps, and hydrates. :-D

      Thank you. I bought one from amazon last month and tried to mix one drop rosehip oil with 2-3 drops jojoba oil. But I got small irritations on my skin (really small mini pimples all over my cheeks). So I am wondering which one caused it. I will try to use both separately.

    While I like using essential oils, I'm so happy someone mentioned that lavender essential can be harsh (I don't use it). I'm also glad you mentioned how citrus oils can be phototoxic. Not all of them are phototoxic (sweet orange oil is not). Most of them are phototoxic though, especially depending on the distilling method used. Again, I'm so glad someone finally decided to include this. Essential oils can be useful but only when used properly.

    This was a fantastic explanation! I have a combination of skin because it is oily and acne prone, but seems to be dry after using commercial acne products for years. For two weeks I've taken out all products I previously used (hidden them for now, including cetaphil), and use a homemade olive oil based cold cream (it does have lavender, but doesn't seem to irritate at all). Despite olive being better for dry rather than oily skin, my skin has healed most of the acne I had and some redness in my lower jawline from the powerful acne topical medication I used ten years ago is going down.
    I'm intrigued by rosehip, jojoba, grapeseed and avocado! Tea tree is fabulous as a spot treatment.

    the BIGGEST TIP FOR EVERYONE out there!!!
    make sure your face is wet and then tap on the oil onto your face, it will seal the water layer beneath the lipid layer, therefore your skin will keep being hydrated.
    it can be purified water, thermal water, rose water.
