Hazelnut Oil 100ml Glass bottle (Corylus Avellana)

7.00

Hazelnut oil is liquid extracted from a hazelnut by a machine called a press. It’s commonly used for cooking and in salad dressings. It’s also used for hair care and as a carrier oil for aromatherapy or massage oils.

But hazelnut oil can also be used as a skin care product. It’s loaded with skin-nourishing vitamins and essential fatty acids that help protect skin against sun damage, boost collagen production, and more.

1. It’s safe for sensitive skin

In most cases, hazelnut oil is safe for people with sensitive skin. Although it’s an astringent (more on that below), it’s different from the alcohol-based astringents you often see in the skin care aisle.Alcohol-based astringents can be harsh and can dry out or irritate your skin. Hazelnut oil is a natural, alcohol-free astringent that doesn’t usually cause irritation.

2. It’s hydrating

The high vitamin E and fatty acid content in hazelnut oil can help increase hydration in the outermost layer of the skin. By keeping skin hydrated, vitamin E also helps improve skin elasticity, making it look firm and supple.

3. It’s moisturizing

Hazelnut oil’s fatty acids and vitamin E also make it an effective moisturizer. These ingredients help create a natural oil barrier that helps your skin retain water and avoid drying out.

4. It can be used as an astringent

Hazelnut oil contains tannins, which are powerful antioxidants. The tannins in hazelnut oil make it an astringent that can help dry oily skin, cleanse and shrink pores, and remove bacteria.

5. It helps boosts collagen production

Collagen is an essential protein that holds your bones, organs, and tendons together. It gives your skin structure and elasticity. Our skin produces less collagen as we age, but vitamin E can help. It enables collagen production by reducing an enzyme that destroys collagen.

6. It helps reduce the appearance of scars

Applying products high in vitamin E to your skin may help reduce the appearance of scars, but the research is inconclusive.

In one study, children with surgical scars who applied vitamin E to their skin three times a day didn’t develop keloids (extra scar tissue) over their wounds.

However, another study found that vitamin E produced no better results than a petroleum-based ointment. One-third of the people who had used vitamin E also developed an itchy rash called contact dermatitis.

7. It may help reduce the appearance of fine lines

The vitamin E in hazelnut oil may also help reduce the appearance of fine lines.

Vitamin E is an important antioxidant for skin care because it helps smooth your skin as well as helps the outer layer of skin retain water and moisture.

However, some research suggests that products combining vitamin E and C are more effective at fighting signs of aging than products with only vitamin E. Hazelnut oil doesn’t contain vitamin C.

But hazelnut oil alone may help with photoaging: research suggest that fatty acids, like those in hazelnut oil, could also help reduce the appearance of fine lines or wrinkles caused by sun exposure.

8. It helps protect against sun damage

Sunlight creates free radicals, which harm your cells and lead to signs of aging in your skin. Vitamin E helps protect your body by neutralizing free radicals and protecting cell membranes from sun damage.

9. It helps reduce hyperpigmentation

Hyperpigmentation is a condition that causes skin to darken. It can affect small or large areas of your skin.

Hyperpigmentation can be caused by several factors, including:

  • acne
  • sun damage
  • pregnancy
  • taking certain birth control pills
  • injuries to the skin

Hazelnut oil is rich in vitamin E, and experimental evidence suggests that vitamin E can reduce hyperpigmentation. However, more research is needed to truly determine its efficacy.

How to use hazelnut oil

You can apply hazelnut oil to your skin on its own or combine it with other oils. You can also use it as a base if you make your own lotions or creams.

Make sure you do a skin patch test before you do a full application. To do this:

  1. Rub a dime-sized amount of oil into the inside of your forearm.
  2. Cover the area with a bandage and wait 24 hours.
  3. If you experience irritation, rinse your forearm thoroughly and don’t use the oil again. If the irritation is severe, call your doctor.

If you don’t notice any inflammation or irritation within 24 hours, hazelnut oil should be safe for you to apply elsewhere.

Once the oil has passed your patch test, you can apply it:

  1. Cover your face or other area of skin with a hot, damp washcloth for about 20 seconds.
  2. Remove the washcloth and massage about 1/2 teaspoon of hazelnut oil into your skin. You can use more or less if desired.
  3. Let the oil sit for 30 seconds.
  4. Use a hot, damp washcloth to gently wipe it off.

This process cleanses your face and also removes most types of makeup. You can use hazelnut oil as you would any other cleanser, either in the morning or at night, or both. If using at night, use the oil before putting on any night creams.
