I mentioned previously that oils found in skin care products may not help the skin. One of the most common found in skin care products which actually block pores and can dry the skin out is mineral oil. It is inexpensive and makes the lotion go on smoothly, but it has a petrolatum base which blocks pores and does not allow the skin to breathe. If you see petrolatum or mineral oil in a product, this would not be the best thing for your skin.
When you read labels get familiar with the oils which are actually emollients which help the skin by increasing water levels and act as a natural barrier on the skin surface. Some of these emollients which come from nuts or plants are; Shea Butter (Butyrospermum Parkii), Babassu oil (Orbignya Oleifera), Jojoba Oil (Simmondsia Chinensis), Kukui Nut Oil (Aleurites Moluccana), and Evening Primrose Oil (Oenothera Biennis). Again be reading those labels
