Purifying, nourishing, protective ... Hazelnut vegetable oil known for its taste in cooking has cosmetic benefits for the beauty and health of our skin. Full lighthouse.
More than just a condiment to season our salads, hazelnut
oil - the oleaginous fruit of the hazelnut tree - is prized for its virtues in
cosmetics. Obtained by a cold pressing process, this vegetable oil with a woody
scent and a dry finish is a recognized ally for the skin. We tell you more
thanks to the intervention of Clara Croux, Range Manager at Typology.
THE PROPERTIES OF HAZELNUT OIL FOR THE SKIN
Rich in oleic acids and vitamin E , hazelnut vegetable oil
is particularly recognized for regulating sebum production. Non-comedogenic, it
helps mattify combination to oily skin , limit the formation of future
blemishes (pimples, blackheads, etc.) and is one of the good things to do when
you have acne . Most ? Its texture, penetrating quickly and easily into the
epidermis, brings a silky touch to the skin without ever leaving a greasy film.
In addition, its softening virtues make it win the hearts of dry skinand
sensitive. In addition, "its richness in unsaturated fatty acids promotes the
regeneration of the hydrolipidic film", specifies the expert. This
lipid-replenishing action nourishes, softens and repairs weakened skin.
Finally, "its omega 6 concentration gives it an antioxidant protective
action" which helps protect the skin from external aggressions.
HOW TO USE HAZELNUT OIL ON THE SKIN?
If this vegetable oil is suitable for everyone (except
people allergic to oilseeds, in other words to nuts), it is particularly
recommended for oily and combination skin with imperfections. "Mature skin
looking for antioxidants for their vitamin A and oleic acid content also
appreciate it," says the expert. But how do we properly introduce hazelnut
oil into our beauty routine?
On the face
In our daily life, hazelnut oil is readily installed at the
end of our skincare routine. In other words, we use it after removing make-up,
cleansing the skin, using tonic water and applying our favorite serum for
example. Yes, “contrary to popular belief, it is applied even after moisturizer
in order to seal in the hydration in the skin. It can even replace night cream,
”explains the expert. It is also possible to mix it with other vegetable oils,
such as jojoba oil or even essential oils of tea tree or clary sage among
others. NB: essential oils are not recommended for children, pregnant or
breastfeeding women, the elderly or those suffering from chronic pathologies.
Before any use, seek the advice of a doctor.
On the body
Its preventive action makes it possible, if it is applied
regularly, to reduce the appearance of stretch marks while its restorative
action helps to reduce the appearance of scars. In addition, its fluid and
penetrating texture makes it an ideal massage oil. We can even add a few drops
of essential oil according to our needs and create a real moment of relaxation.
WHERE TO BUY IT AND HOW TO CHOOSE IT?
As with all vegetable oils, it is advisable to choose a
product that is 100% pure and from organic farming. This is also the case with
that marketed by the Typology brand as well as many other brands of specialized
cosmetics such as Aroma-Zone or La Compagnie des Sens to name a few. We can
also find formulas with mixed natural ingredients like “the Purifying Botanical
Assembly, a night serum mixing hazelnut oil, jojoba oil and hemisqualan” indicates
the expert. Hazelnut oil is also found in pharmacies and drugstores. All we
have to do is go to the shelves (or online)!
