7 Oils That Will Save Your FaceFrom natural acne fighters to nourishing anti-agers, these are the fab face oils everyone needs in her skin-care stash |
Tea Tree Oil: For Fighting Breakouts Tea tree oil is known best for its anti-bacterial benefits. "Some studies suggest that it is as effective at treating inflammatory acne lesions as 5 percent benzoyl peroxide," says Stainhouse. So if products like benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid make your skin cranky, this might be a worthwhile option.
How does it work exactly? "Tea tree oil kills bacteria in the pores and deeper hair follicles where acne lesions can begin," Stainhouse explains.
Just keep in mind that since tea tree oil comes from a natural plant, you might be slightly allergic or sensitive to it. To be safe, Stainhouse recommends trying a test spot on your inner arm before applying it to your face.
