Which Face Oils Work Best For Your Skin Type

We know what you’re thinking ‘why on earth would I want to use oil on my skin?’ We get it, but not all oils will cause breakouts or leave you feeling oily.

Dr Rebecca Tung; chair of the Division of Dermatology at Loyola University in Chicago says ‘The key to using oils on the face, is to recognise that not all facial oils are the same. Some can nourish the skin, whilst other may harm it – so choose wisely. If you’re worried, check with a dermatologist first before using a face oil.”

Once you find which oil is best suited for your skin, there are so many benefits of using oil as part of your skin care routine. Oil can help dry skin, reduce wrinkles, act as a primer under makeup, protect your skin from the weather, shrink your pores and even clear skin irritations and blemishes.

Face oils have stepped up recently, making their skin perfecting formulas a must-have in your skincare routine. Here are six to consider:
