For normal and sensitive skins: Chamomile, Lavender and Rose are essential oils suggested for normal and sensitive skins. When you use essential oils to moisturize your skin, dilute it with a carrier oil such as jojoba or linolin free creams or lotions. On sensitive skin, use low dilution of essential oil to carrier oil i.e. use less essential oil and more carrier oil

For normal to oily skin: Rosemary Oil is good.

For oily skin: Some essential oils that good for oily skin are Cedarwood, Fennel, Cypress, Juniper, Eucalyptus, Lemon, and Lavender. Bergamot oil, Lime oil, peppermint oils are also good for oily skin. For more information, visit this site http://www.aromatherapies.net/ailments/oily-skin-care.html
