Moisturiser or Facial Oil?
Myth has it that oil will make your skin oily causing acne and blackheads among other evils. In truth, natural oils are really all our skin needs as they deliver all the benefits needed to have beautiful clear skin.
Oils penetrate the skin more easily and do not cause any clogging of pores as can sometimes be the case with moisturisers. Therefore, oil will help to moisturise the skin more effectively than face creams.
Because they are absorbed quickly into the skin, make up will simply glide on. They can be used as part of your beauty regime in the morning and at night.
Oil is perfect for any skin type and can help with acne prevention. The fatty acids found in plant oils will help reduce the overproduction of sebum, and in doing so, will help rebalance the oil content of your skin.
