All carrier oils are composed of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids that give them hydrating, emollient and nourishing properties. When applied to the skin, oils replenish moisture and lock it in, protect the skin from the environment, and make it soft, smooth and supple. Of course, it is important that you choose the right oils for your skin type: oily skin needs lightweight oils, while dry skin will benefit from thick butters. Best oils for normal skin: wheat germ oil, coconut oil, apricot kernel oil, sweet almond oil, sesame oil.
