Suitable Oils for Combination Skin in Night Cream

For combination skin, while some oils can feel heavy, certain types are well-suited for mixing with night cream as they are less likely to clog pores and can help balance the skin. It's good to start with a small amount and see how your skin reacts.

Here are some oils often recommended for combination skin:

• Jojoba Oil: This oil is very similar in structure to the natural oils (sebum) produced by our skin. It is easily absorbed, non-greasy, and does not clog pores, making it a good choice for balancing combination skin.
• Squalane (from Olive): Similar to Jojoba Oil, Squalane is naturally present in skin sebum. It is lightweight, absorbs quickly, provides moisture, and is suitable for all skin types, including acne-prone skin.
• Grape Seed Oil: This oil is known for being lightweight and can help reduce clogged pores and manage oiliness, making it beneficial for the oilier areas of combination skin.
• Rose Hip Oil: While slightly richer, Rose Hip Oil can be beneficial for combination skin, especially if there are concerns with redness or scarring. It has repairing properties and can help improve skin texture.
• Mineral Oil: As mentioned in the previous reply, mineral oil is a basic emollient that softens the skin. It does not clog pores and is unlikely to cause irritation, making it a simple option if you are looking for basic moisture without active benefits.

When mixing, add just a drop or two of oil to your usual amount of night cream, mix in your palm, and apply. Observe how your skin feels and adjust the amount as needed.
