Blemished skin can be a challenge for many people and can be damaging to their self-esteem. Finding the right skincare is often a process of trial and error. While many traditional treatments for blemished skin aim to dry out the skin, more and more people are finding success with a solution that goes against the grain: facial oils for blemished skin. The right combination of natural oils can restore the skin's balance and contribute to a radiant, healthy complexion. These oils, specially formulated for the needs of blemished skin, can help clear the skin's texture, reduce inflammation and moisturize the skin without clogging pores.

1. which facial oil is suitable for blemished skin?
Comedones are blackheads or so-called whiteheads. The term "comedogenic" means "clogging the pores" and "promoting the formation of comedones". Non-comedogenic oils are those that do not clog the pores and therefore prevent the formation of blackheads or acne. They are especially valuable for people with oily or acne-prone skin as they can moisturize the skin without causing additional skin problems.
2. benefits of non-comedogenic facial oils
Moisturizing without clogging: They moisturize the skin without clogging pores, which is especially important for people with acne-prone skin.
Natural ingredients: Many non-comedogenic oils are natural and free from harsh chemicals, making them a good choice for sensitive skin.
Versatility: They can be used alone or in combination with other skincare products.
A particularly popular non-comedogenic skincare oil is rosehip oil, also known as wild rose oil. This oil is rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids and can help repair damaged skin. The oil is also high in alpha-linolenic and linoleic acid, which can regulate the skin's sebum flow. The Casida wild rose oil (rosehip oil) is rich in vitamins A, B and K, which have a healing and regenerating effect. Its natural vitamin C is a powerful free radical scavenger and refines lines and wrinkles.
Wild rose oil also contains a high proportion of polyunsaturated fatty acids. These can be absorbed particularly well by the skin and provide skin in need of care with intensive lipids and moisture.
3. simply make your own facial oil
You can mix your own natural and effective facial care products. The basic ingredients that every facial oil should contain are a carrier oil and one or more essential oils. The carrier oil should be non-comedogenic for blemished skin, as explained above. We recommend Casida wild rose oil. We have selected lavender, rose geranium and tea tree as essential oils - they have an antibacterial and skin-regulating effect as well as having a beneficial effect on the psyche. They also give your facial care a pleasant scent.
The bacteria-inhibiting compounds contained in tea tree are excellent for treating blemished skin. Tea tree oil penetrates the skin and removes sebum and dead skin cells from the sebaceous glands. Tea tree oil can therefore be used to treat oily skin, blackheads and spots in the long term. Caution: Always apply essential oils to the skin in diluted form - as in our case as an addition to a facial oil - or only very selectively to small areas of skin.
DIY recipe - facial oil for blemished skin
You need:
- Empty pipette bottle or glass jar (e.g. available from www.aromawelt.de)
- if necessary funnel for filling
- 20 drops wild rose oil (non-comedogenic carrier oil)
- 3 drops of lavender oil (soothes the skin, promotes healing and regenerates cells)
- 2 drops of Rose geranium oil (soothing, regenerating, delicate rose fragrance)

An amber glass bottle or even better a violet glass bottle protects the ingredients of your ingredients so that your facial oil remains effective for a long time. You should store it away from light and at room temperature.
4 When should facial oil for blemished skin be used?
To give the skin enough time to absorb the active ingredients and regenerate, a facial oil for blemished skin should be applied in the evening before going to bed. Applying facial oil in the evening has several benefits and is an integral part of many people's evening skincare routine. There are many reasons for this, which is why we present the most important ones here.
Our skin regenerates while we sleep. It undergoes a natural renewal process in which damaged cells are repaired and new cells are produced. Facial oils can support this process by supplying the skin with important nutrients.
At night, when we sleep, the skin barrier is more permeable and can absorb active ingredients better. This means that skincare products can penetrate the skin better and work more effectively.
Our skin loses moisture during the night. A facial oil can help to reduce this transepidermal water loss by forming a protective barrier and keeping the skin hydrated.
At night, the skin is less exposed to external stressors such as sunlight, dirt and pollution. This is the ideal time to apply nourishing facial oils for blemished skin without being affected by external factors such as the environment.
