Common Uses
Hazelnut Oil is slightly astringent and is used for oily or acneic skin. It is light, stimulating to the circulation, diffuses better than Sweet Almond Oil and is easily absorbed, penetrating the skin without leaving it greasy. Studies have shown it to have sun filtering properties, making it an excellent choice for cosmetic preparations, sun lotions and is often used by estheticians for facial massage. It prevents dehydration of the skin and leaves it feeling soft and smooth.
Do not use it full strength, but combine with an oil like Sweet Almond. An outstanding after sun oil can be made by combining it with Sesame Seed Oil and Calendula Infused Oil.
