Facial Oil- The Holy Grail

There is still a lot to learn about facial oils but the truth is every skin type can benefit from an oil. The trick is in finding the right oil for your skin type and how best to apply it.

Some oils are known to clog the pores and some of those to avoid are mineral oils, coconut and argan oils on the skin. Jojoba oil is lightweight and known to be a great wonder for the skin as a tiny amount can counter breakouts and the drying effects on the skin. 

Drier skin needs heavier oil rich in oleic acid for hydration and to seal in moisture, Almond, Marula, Apricot kernel etc with soothing properties and medium skin penetration.

Matured skin could benefit from certain oils with anti-aging, rejuvenating, moisturising properties. The success of facial oils is in the quality of ingredients rather than the complexity of the blends. Meaning you don't need 5 oils in one facial oil instead two great blends can form the entirety of your facial oil.

Why not try something new today if you haven't started already, add a facial oil to your routine and let me know if you notice any difference; but remember to choose the best oil suitable for your skin type and goals.
