Oil is something that is often feared in the beauty industry, especially when it comes to skincare. From a young age we are often taught that oil = bad, but the right oil can actually do way more good than harm. Source
Oils are often seen as the cause for breakouts and acne and whilst some oils may be comedogenic (like mineral oil) natural oils can do wonders for the skin.
Just some of the things it can do is:- Improve the overall texture and appearance of the skin
- Hydrate the skin and fix flakiness
- Help fade scars and stretch marks
- Prevent aging
- Balance out oily and combination skin (since oil is attracted to oil)
Facial oils can be applied before or after moisturiser. Facial oils are not be confused with cleansing oils which are designed to cleanse the skin and remove makeup.
