Does anyone have a recommendation for a good oil for combination skin?
I have been searching the oils and see so many that I am not sure which ones would be best. I get a bad rash from jojoba oil.
I have been using hazelnut oil infused with ylang ylang and lavender, however it is not quite moisturizing enough.
I have a tendency to break out and have sensitive skin. I have seen good things about squalene, emu, pomegranate and rasberry. |

| Hello dear Lizzy. I cannot use jojoba oil either, and while I do like hazelnut oil, I don't find it moisturizing enough for the winter. Have you considered trying kukui nut oil? It's very similar to hazelnut except that it is more moisturizing. I use some with lavender and ylang ylang added in and I just love it! HTH! |

| Kukui oil is great for combination skin. It is one of the lightest oils I have used, yet hydrating enough. My favorite brand is Kucci Kukui and I have written a review of it as well. |

| I'm an oily t-zone girl, with an extremely oily forehead and I've been using Emu Oil for about a month with no problems. It's quite nice! |

Rosehip oil is another oil you could try. I have somewhat combination skin and it hasn't caused more break outs or more oiliness when I have used it. For me it added moisture and helped give a more even tone to my skin.
Thought I would add another suggestion to the mix for more added confusion |

| Rosehip oil made my skin a mess! Use it as a mixer or try emu oil. |

| Another I love is macadamia nut oil. I think it has a drier feel, as if it sinks into the skin more. And I love the rich, nutty smell. I use this on my acne-prone skin with no problem. |
