The Right Face Oil for Your Skin Type

Finding an oil that works for you starts with knowing your skin type. Face oil can quickly turn from beneficial to disaster if you’re using the wrong ingredients. Worry not: we’re here to help you navigate the world of oils and recommend the best formulas for your skin.

Oily

If you have oily skin, you may be hesitant to add oil, but your skin actually needs oils to stay balanced and healthy. Since an oily complexion can sometimes be stripped of its natural lubricants as a result of over-cleansing, you can help restore it with products that contain anti-inflammatory properties, like hemp seed oil and jojoba.

Dry

Soothe and revitalize a dry complexion with vitamin-filled oils that plump and restore dull skin and dry spots. Look for oils that are omega-rich and contain essential fatty acids, like chia oil, which refreshes dehydrated skin.

Combination

For combination skin, look for an oil that adds needed moisture to areas that require hydration while balancing out the oilier parts. Antioxidant-rich oils like argan and camellia (which is a dry oil) absorb quickly and create a protective barrier against free radicals that can damage and age the complexion.

Acne-Prone

If you’re treating acne-prone skin with drying products, try using a clarifying oil with salicylic acid instead. You” still get the purifying properties, but you’ll be adding soothing and hydrating ingredients. Be sure to stay away from comedogenic oils which can have the reverse effect. Oils that contain ingredients like tea tree work best for acne-prone complexions to clarify and detox the face and prevent and treat blemishes.

!function(d,s,id){var e, p = /^http:/.test(d.location) ? ‘http’ : ‘https’;if(!d.getElementById(id)) {e = d.createElement(s);e.id = id;e.src = p + ‘://’ + ‘widgets.rewardstyle.com’ + ‘/js/shopthepost.js’;d.body.appendChild(e);}if(typeof window.__stp === ‘object’) if(d.readyState === ‘complete’) {window.__stp.init();}}(document, ‘script’, ‘shopthepost-script’);
