By now you’ve probably tried your fair share of lotions, potions and creams on your face – but have you tried adding oil to your skincare regimen? Oils have become increasingly popular for all skin types as they help restore your skin’s health.

 

Usually, when we experience a breakout, we tend to apply blemish treatments in the hope that it will clear up our skin. However, you might find that it only aggravates the flare-up and leaves your skin feeling uncomfortable. This is a result of the product being too harsh and causing your skin to dry out, which sends your brain a message to produce more oil to try fix the imbalance. For oily, combo and normal skin types this only creates a bigger problem. The solution? Restore your skin’s healthy balance by introducing products like facial oils, which work to target your skin’s needs without drying it out.

 

We’ve selected and shared some of the greatest facial oils that will give your skin what it deserves – and they’re all available with a simple swipe of your RCS Card.
