Using face oils can have an anti-ageing affect on the skin.
Whether your skin is extra dry, extra oily, or somewhere in between, using face oils as part of your daily skincare routine, can provide loads of healthy benefits to your skin – anti-ageing being one of them.
Part of skin ageing is little to no hydration in the skin. This may result in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, ageing the skin.
This affects both oily and dry skin types. The only difference between dry and oily skin, is oily skin over produces sebum. It doesn’t always mean the skin is hydrated because it is is oily.
Using a skin oil, whether morning and night, or just at night, will both help balance out oily skin, and provide extra hydration and nourishment to dry skin. And for combination skin, it helps balance it out for an even skin tone.
