Tune In: Ayurvedic Beauty Traditions + Oils This Expert Loves For Healthy, Glowing Skin

And while we do get into a lot of advice, it's impossible to cover it all. Here, a small snapshot of what we discussed—her favorite facial oils. Be sure to tune in to the episode to learn more. 

"It's a lovely universal skin care oil," she says. In particular, it's great for those with easily irritated skin. "I find that people with aggravated skin—those who struggle with rosacea, for example—are nervous about oils. But pomegranate oil is well accepted by all skin types. It's an oil that can help repair and heal aggregated skin." 

"Grapeseed oil has lots of omegas, especially linoleic acid. Studies show that those with acne-prone skin, the body doesn't make enough linoleic acid1, which breaks up sebum consistency," she says. "So their sebum tends to be thicker naturally. That's why it traps in more dirt and skin buildup, leading to acne down the line."

This beloved oil is widely used, as it very closely mimics our skin's own natural sebum, Holecek notes. "I love jojoba oil because it mirrors the texture of the skin, so it really rejuvenates the skin easier and is easier for it to accept," she says. "It also doesn't trigger overproduction of oil, if you're more Vata." 

For those dealing with things like fine lines, sagging, and other signs of aging skin, rosehip oil is full of nutrients to help support mature skin. "It's really wonderful for signs of aging, like thinness of the skin, dryness, and so on," she says, noting that it is technically more comedogenic. "It's more suitable for Vata skin types because they're less likely to break out from it." 

While not as common of a recommendation for Holecek, she loves it for those with skin conditions that may leave your skin dry and barrier disrupted. Most notably: eczema. "l love avocado oil in very specific instances, such as if you're slightly more eczema prone. That's an oil that can help you," she says.
