Face Oils: Why Use Them? What Are the Benefits?

Oiling of any kind is generally associated with greasiness and stickiness. This generally leads to most people avoiding the process entirely, especially those of you with naturally oily skin. But we’re here to tell you and prove to you this notion you have formed about oiling is incorrect. Simply identifying and using the right oils will make sure you fall in love with the process and more importantly, the results. 

Why should you use face oils?

Face oils arouse great fear in individuals. After all, no one desires an oily and greasy appearance. This is the standard assumption when someone avoids face oils. But the right face oil can accentuate the features of your face and overall appearance of your skin, while imbuing it with radiance and a youthful glow. Here are some benefits of using the right type of face oils on your skin: 

  • Keeps skin hydrated - Face oils work magically for individuals with dry skin. They moisturise the skin and further lock in that moisture, ensuring hydrated skin throughout the day.

  • They’re replete with nutrients - Face oils are brimming with essential nutrients that benefit the skin in a number of ways. They have anti-aging properties which diminish wrinkles, dark spots, and age spots, they are full of antioxidants which yet again promote youthfulness and promote skin elasticity, and they heal and improve skin from the deepest layers.

  • They prevent and control various skin maladies - Face oils can be a lifesaver for those of you with eczema, psoriasis, and rash prone skin. The anti-inflammatory properties present in the right type of face oil can help assuage or entirely prevent inflammatory skin conditions.

  • They moderate oil production - People with oily skin tend to steer clear from face oil, but the reason their skin is oily is because their skin lacks moisture. Using the appropriate face oil will help add and lock in moisture, which will inevitably balance oil production by the skin.
