In the past year or two, facial oils have come out of nowhere and are the newest thing to have in your skincare stash. Whilst they aren't the most obvious thing you would want to go slapping on your face, they are actually one of the best products you could apply, even if you're oily skinned. Why? Packed full of natural, organic and pure ingredients, face oils are the ideal companion for any skin type, whether you've got a dry and dull complexion or have oily skin, the highlight concentrated oils will target the problematic area and bring your skin back to normal. Oils are lipophilic and therefore absorb straight into the skin, and keep your skin hydrated all day, unlike your regular moisturiser that doesn't penetrate as deeply into the skin, meaning hydration levels drop throughout the day, resulting in a dehydrated complexion. There is no reason to fear the face oils, with anti ageing properties and skin benefiting powers, oils are the way to go. The beauty of a face oil is that once absorbed, they don't leave a greasy film on the skin and simply boost skins radiance, creating a natural, healthy glow that is maintained underneath foundation, resulting in your entire look, looking that little extra dewy but in no way shiny. One way to look at face oils is as an extra step of hydration, as the antioxidants nourish skin, skin appears plumper and feels smoother. As well as having a number of benefits for dry skin, oils target blemish, reduce redness/scarring and prevent future break outs, they are a miracle worker and fix many a skin problems. The hardest part of using a face oil, is making sure you've chosen the right one, with so many options out there, it can be hard to choose. Do you choose Rosehip, Joboba, Coconut, Avocado, Argan? Or even... Blue Orchid? Here's what I think...
