Face oil – possibly the best thing since sliced bread. Yes, we know that those of you with oily skin go running for the hills as soon as you see the word ‘oil’ on a product, but the truth is that while mineral oils are clogging, natural oils can actually help acne-prone or oily skin.
The reason for this is that most of the time, those of us with oily skin are exacerbating the problem by using products that strip the skin of all its oil – causing it to create even more oil. Using the correct face oil will help keep the skin’s oil barrier in place!
For girls with dry skins, face oils are the answer to all your flaking, itching woes.
Apply your oil before AND after your moisturiser, as this will ‘lock’ the moisture in.
