To determine your skin type, follow these steps.

Prepare your skin

Start by removing your make-up completely and washing your face with a gentle cleanser. By the way, did you know that jojoba oil is a great 100% natural make-up remover that takes care of your skin at the same time? Next, wait an hour without applying any products to your skin.

Examine your skin

After an hour, dab your T-zone (forehead and nose) with a tissue. If sebum has been transferred to the tissue, your skin is either oily or combination. Also, find out how you feel. If your skin feels tight after washing, it's probably dry. If it feels refreshed, it's probably oily.

Skin types

Here are the four different skin types:

Normal skin

It produces just the right amount of sebum to stay hydrated, protected and comfortable without shine.

Dry skin

It is desperately short of sebum, tight, uncomfortable and flaky.

Oily skin

It tends to be shiny all over the face. It is generally thicker, with dilated pores and irregular skin texture.

Mixed skin

It is often rather oily on the T-zone (where the sebaceous glands are most numerous) while the cheeks are dry and tight.

It is important to note that the condition of the skin can vary according to external factors such as climate, diet, stress, etc. It is therefore advisable to re-evaluate your skin type regularly to adapt your skincare routine.

Yes, you can use an oil on oily skin, as long as you choose the right oil. Contrary to popular belief, some oils are capable of regulating sebum production and restoring the complex balance of your epidermis.

Here are some plant oils recommended for oily skin:

• Jojoba oil: Similar to the sebum produced by the body, this oil is highly prized by our skin and helps to rebalance sebum production.
• Black cumin oil: Antibacterial, black cumin oil effectively eliminates skin imperfections.
• Hemp oil: Deeply moisturises the skin without leaving a greasy finish.

It's important to note that even if oily skin doesn't need to be nourished, hydration is essential. Poor hydration could encourage the epidermis to produce even more sebum in order to hydrate itself, aggravating the vicious circle of oily skin. So it's essential to work directly on the skin with the right skincare products.

Vegetable oils are extracted from plants, fruit, seeds or nuts. They are rich in fatty acids, vitamins and antioxidants. They can nourish, moisturise, protect, regulate, heal and soften the skin. They are suitable for all skin types, but you need to choose the one that best suits your needs and sensitivities.

Store at room temperature, out of sight and reach of children, in a dry place protected from UV rays and light.

Argan oil is a vegetable oil extracted from the kernels of the argan tree (Argania spinosa), a tree endemic to southwest Morocco. Argan oil production is a traditional process carried out primarily by women's cooperatives. The fruits are harvested, dried, then the kernels are extracted, roasted (for edible oil) or not (for cosmetic oil), and finally cold-pressed to obtain a pure and precious oil.

Argan oil deeply nourishes and regenerates hair from root to tip. It strengthens the hair fiber, restores shine and suppleness, and helps structure curls in wavy, curly, or frizzy hair. Applied as a mask or leave-in treatment, it also protects color-treated or damaged hair.
