 “Argan and rose oils have anti-inflammatory benefits and are great for aging skin,” Dr. Zeichner says. “Tea tree or moringa seed oils are appropriate for people with acne-prone skin, while those with dry skin should look for hydrating avocado or sandalwood oil.” He also advises marula or kiwi oils for combination skin, since they are universal successes.
