14 Best Face Oils for a Perfect ComplexionWant gorgeous skin? Two drops of oil might be all you need |
10 of 15
The face oil that comes from everybody's favorite toast topper is a supreme hydrator, loaded with lipids in the form of both fats and fatty acids, says Baumann. It also does double-duty, delivering anti-aging benefits via antioxidants and skin-loving nutrients, adds Wong. The catch? All those luscious lipids make it a bit heavy, especially when used alone, which is why you'll normally find it mixed with other oils. I think of using avocado oil just like I think about eating avocados; even though it's a good kind of fat, you still want to limit how much you use. Portion control.

This was a very helpful "cheat sheet" for dissecting facial oils and their proposed benefits. Thanks!

Burt's Bee's Herbal Blemish Stick really does work on acne prone "older" skin

I am loving oils as a way to cleanse and care for my skin and hair. When you think about it, it dates back to Biblical days!

I'm now obsessed! I use a mixture of oils for cleaning and put rose hip seed oil on 2-3x a day! I wish I had started years ago. It is natural and my skin has never felt/looked better!

Good article. Chamomile and olive oil are really good. I would love to try grapefruit oil.

I have tried most of these (esp. tea tree and grapeseed on my acne-prone skin) and they do work. I'm surprised maracuja oil was left out. I've used this for about two years. It's high in vit C, so many of my blotches and old acne marks have disappeared.
