14 Best Face Oils for a Perfect ComplexionWant gorgeous skin? Two drops of oil might be all you need |
13 of 15
If there's an oil that's more ubiquitously touted for its beauty benefits, I have yet to find it. Here's the thing, though: While it's undoubtedly an AMAZING hydrator, it can actually be too intense for your complexion. "It has components that are comedogenic and can clog pores," points out Baumann, who notes that it's best reserved for body (with the exception of blemish-prone spots, like the chest and back). But feel free to load up with reckless abandon on dry, chapped areas, especially elbows or knees. Dab it on ragged nails and cuticles, too (my favorite way to get healthy, shiny nails when there's no time for a mani).

I can't wait to try the rose hip seed oil. It sounds awesome.

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.
