If you already have oily skin, you may think that we’ve lost our marbles if we asked you to intentionally apply oil to your face. However, with the right skincare oil by your side, you can pave the way to moisturized, nourished and healed skin while protecting it from environmental pollution. As strange as it sounds, there are some natural oils out there that actually reduce the oil that’s produced in your skin! While some of you may rightfully point out that not every skin type is the same, it’s important to try different variants of them and see which one works best for your skin.
Before attempting to apply the oil on your face, we suggest that you try applying it to a smaller portion of your skin first. That way, you would get a better idea whether the product agrees with it or not. Here are 10 skincare oils for every beauty need (You’re welcome!)
