WHY YOU NEED FACE OIL
Contrary to conventional logic, putting oil on your face will actually help balance your complexion and reduce oil production while moisturising skin. Think of them as a turbo-boost for your existing routine. Highly concentrated, face oils are ideal if you’re looking to problem-solve something specific like ageing, post-shave damage, dehydration, etc.
Oil also has a much smaller molecular structure than a cream, which means it’s going to penetrate deeper into the skin and hence more likely to do something worthwhile at a cellular level.
And with winters harsh effects on the skin upon us, now is the time to add a face oil to your skincare routine.
