Beauty coaching: can I apply oil if I have oily skin?

Among the many preconceived ideas that circulate in beauty, our pro today attacks the one who believes that we should not put oil on oily skin.

The natural is popular. We no longer count the number of beauty recipes based on vegetable oil circulating on the net, whether for the making of a homemade hair mask or a body treatment. But on the face, all have not yet taken the plunge. Especially oily skin. Yes, this type of skin has a hard life: pimples, shine, blackheads due to excess sebum secretion… It is not always easy to know what can be applied to it – or not. Although oily skin is more comfortable than dry skin, this feeling makes it feel, wrongly, too hydrated. Big mistake! Oily skin has a hydrolipidic film like all other skin and it must be preserved.

In addition to vegetable oils, we do not deprive ourselves of beauty oils if you have oily skin, whether they are make-up removers or cleansers. To be checked: that they display the mention "non-comedogenic" thus proving that the tests on this subject have been carried out by the brand. have occlusive effects on the skin. They are preferred on the feet, which are very dry areas. Also, oily skin is strongly advised not to apply oil on a daily basis as dry skin would do – except in the event of external aggressions, for example during a stay in the mountains in winter.
