#2 – Oily or blemish prone
It is a huge misconception that those with oily or blemish prone skin should stay clear from face oils. Constantly using oil-stripping products not only leaves skin feeling tight, uncomfortable and dehydrated it also accentuates the problem, causing skin to go into over drive and produce even more oil.
However, the right facial oil will help stop excessive sebum production that leads to blemishes. Oily skin types should choose a light, dry oil that sinks into the skin quickly without leaving behind an oily residue such as Jojoba Oil, which has a similar composition to sebum and helps counteract its production. Grape Seed Oil and Tea Tree Oil also contain tonnes of antioxidants and helps to keep pores clear due to its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties.
