Coconut oil might be the most mainstream natural hydrator, but it’s far from your skin’s only potent plant-powered ally. From tackling acne to smoothing fine lines, healing sun damage and imparting an all-over luminous glow, explore these 7 ultra-nourishing botanical oils to upgrade your skincare routine.

Soak Up the Vitamins with Sweet Almond Oil

Extracted from peeled almond seeds, these vitamin E and unsaturated fatty acid-rich oils deliver lightweight hydration ideal for all skin types, especially dry, sensitive skin prone to irritation or inflammation. Gently massage 4-6 drops daily over damp skin or add a few soothing drops into your moisturizer.

Fight Acne and Blemishes with Tea Tree Oil

With powerful antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, tea tree essential oil helps clear current pimples while preventing future breakouts by combatting acne-causing bacteria. Dab a diluted drop directly onto localized zits or mix 5 drops per ounce of cleanser or moisturizer for an everyday treatment.

Plump Up Skin with Avocado Oil

Ultra-nourishing avocado oil contains collagen-boosting plant sterols and vitamin E to soften the look of fine lines and reduce redness. Spread 2-3 nourishing drops on dry areas like cuticles, heels, elbows or lips nightly before bed or mix into body lotions.

Brighten and Even Tone with Pomegranate Seed Oil

Pomegranates overflow with antioxidant and vitamin C-rich seed oil to brighten, boost collagen formation, defend against free radicals and even out skin tone. Blend 2-3 drops with your sunscreen, serum or night cream for added protection and perfect glow.

Reveal Radiance with Argan Oil

Promising powerful hydration, argan oil absorbs fast to renew a youthful radiance. Find it alongside Moroccan beauty products or mix 2-4 drops with your moisturizer to condition extra dry patches for a dewier sheen.

Spot Treat Sun Spots with Sea Buckthorn Berry Oil

This super-healing orange-hued oil sourced from an Eastern Asian shrub potently fades dark spots and relieves damaged skin with vitamins C and E plus fatty acids. Gently dab on localized spots twice daily as intensive natural treatment.

Cool Inflammation with Rose Hip Seed Oil

Chock-full of skin-restoring vitamins, antioxidants and essential fatty acids, rose hip oil hydrates while calming everything from eczema to rosacea flare-ups. Smooth over areas of concern like a daily serum before heavier creams to reduce redness.

Give new glow-boosting oils like avocado, rose hip or pomegranate a spot in your regular skincare lineup. Finding the right plant oils tailored to your skin’s unique needs promises gorgeous, healthy radiance just a few drops away.

I use cucumber oil and carrot oil to give my skin that radiant look. The only thing is that the process of extracting these oils is complex.

Tea tree oil is very popular in Australia, which makes sense, since this is where it comes from.

I'm a fan of apricot kernel oil.
