By now, it's likely that you've heard about all of the amazing perks face oils can have. They're nourishing on sensitive skin, hydrating for dry skin, and can pretty much give anyone that natural glow most of us are after. But, just like hair oils, the selection available out there can be overwhelming. And, not all oils are good for the skin or meant for every skin type.
Facial oils have distinct properties according to dermatologist Marnie Nussbaum, MD. For example, some oils, like marula, contain antibacterial properties ideal for acne-prone skin. Others, like argan oil, have antioxidants that offer wrinkle-smoothing and hydrating benefits. She says the right one for you will greatly depend on your skin type and goals.
