Carrier Oils 101

I love creating my own skincare products…

Especially sharing them with you. Here’s a little breakdown on which carrier oils are best for your skin type. Refer back to this page during any of my skincare creations or if you feel inspired on your own.

Normal to Combination

SUNFLOWER OIL: Perfect for those suffering from acne, redness and/or irritation. Plus, this oil is not too heavy or too light.

JOJOBA OIL: The most common carrier oil used in skincare as it can be used to help most skin types. It nourishes dry skin with fatty acids & vitamin E & actually helps oily skin by regulating oil production by mimicking your skin’s natural oils.

POMEGRANATE OIL: Perfect for all skin types as it has anti-inflammatory properties, rejuvenates skin cells & prevents UVB damage.

Oily Skin

JOJOBA OIL: See above.

GRAPESEED OIL: Moderates your skins natural oil, is packed full of antioxidants & vitamin C, restores skin collagen & calms skin inflammation. 

Dry/Aging Skin

APRICOT KERNAL OIL: A heaven sent for skin on the more dry/aging side of the spectrum. This oil improves skin tone, lowers the appearance of aging signs & blemishes while nourishing deep down.

AVOCADO OIL: You know how avocados are the ‘good kind of fat’? Well those fatty acids help moisturize the skin while vitamins A, D & E help boost collagen production & fight aging signs. Avocado Oil also aids in skin elasticity.

SWEET ALMOND OIL: One of the most moisturizing oils as its packed with vitamin E, fatty acids & proteins. This carrier oil also helps soothe sensitive skin.
