Top 3 plant oils for glowing skin

In the world of skincare, natural plant oils are celebrated for their ability to nourish, protect, and rejuvenate the skin without causing irritation or clogging up pores. Rich in vitamins, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids, these oils are a must-have in any skincare routine.

We've picked out 3 of our favourite plant oils at By Sarah for a deep dive into why we use them in our skincare for stressed, sensitive skin.

Jojoba oil: the skin balancer

Jojoba oil is often referred to as nature’s multitasker, and for good reason. Despite its name, jojoba oil is actually a liquid wax that closely mimics the skin's natural sebum. This unique characteristic makes it excellent at moisturising the skin, including those with oily and acne-prone skin.

Benefits of jojoba oil:

Regulates oil production: Because jojoba oil is so similar to our natural sebum, it tricks the skin into producing less oil, helping to balance oily skin and prevent breakouts.
Deep hydration: Jojoba oil is a humectant, meaning it attracts water to the skin, keeping it hydrated and soft without clogging pores.
Antioxidant-rich: Packed with Vitamin E, jojoba oil helps protect the skin from environmental stressors and free radicals, which can lead to premature aging.

Incorporating jojoba oil into your skincare routine can help maintain a clear, balanced complexion, making it an ideal choice for those with combination or acne-prone skin.

Papaya seed oil: the gentle exfoliator

Papaya seed oil, derived from the seeds of the tropical papaya fruit, is renowned for its gentle enzymatic properties and rich nutrient profile. This lightweight oil is packed with papain, an enzyme that gently exfoliates dead skin cells, revealing a smoother and brighter complexion.

Benefits of papaya seed oil:

Exfoliates and renews: Papain in papaya seed oil gently exfoliates the skin, helping to remove dead skin cells and promote cell turnover. This results in a more even skin tone and improved texture.
Rich in nutrients: Papaya seed oil is rich in vitamins A, C, and E, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids. These nutrients nourish and hydrate the skin, enhancing its overall health and vitality.
Anti-inflammatory: With anti-inflammatory properties, papaya seed oil soothes irritated skin and reduces redness, making it suitable for sensitive and acne-prone skin types.

Hemp seed oil: the calming healer

Hemp seed oil is acne's sustainable alternative to salicylic acid - and much friendlier for sensitive skin. Extracted from the seeds of the hemp plant, this oil is rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, making it a powerful anti-inflammatory agent. It has a remarkable ability to soothe and heal the skin, making it perfect for calming blemish-prone skin.

Benefits of hemp seed oil:

Balances and calms: Hemp seed oil is ideal for sensitive or acne-prone skin, as it helps to regulate oil production and calm inflammation, reducing the occurrence of breakouts.
Strengthens skin barrier: The essential fatty acids in hemp seed oil help to strengthen the skin’s natural barrier, locking in moisture and protecting against environmental damage.
Non-comedogenic: Unlike some oils, hemp seed oil won’t clog pores, making it a great option for those with oily or combination skin.
