Healthy skin for him & her

Using face oils as part of your beauty routine can do wonders for your skin

- BY NTHABISENG MAKHOKHA

WHAT’S IN THEM?

Most face oils are derived from plants and are formulated to benefit various skin types. The oils are usually unscented, non-greasy and light and are well absorbed by the skin, giving you a luminous radiance.

They act as a carrier and barrier for the skin, helping it to absorb other skincare products better as well as reduce red, splotchy areas. They also add an element of luxury to your daily regimen.

PROBLEM-SOLVERS

Dry skin Face oil helps alleviate dry patches and flaking by intensivel­y hydrating the skin.

Oily and acne-prone skin You may be wary of putting more oil on your face, but face oils can balance your skin’s natural oil levels and lessen the production of sebum which causes pimples and blocked pores.

Ageing skin Face oils are known to deeply penetrate the skin and plump it out, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Dull skin Besides aiding hydration, face oils are packed with vitamins and antioxidan­ts which help nourish and protect the skin and leave it looking radiant.

HOW TO FIT OILS INTO YOUR ROUTINE

Add face oil to your moisturise­r to boost its moisturisi­ng qualities. Add a few drops to your serum. Apply your face oil after cleansing and before your serum or moisturise­r. Always apply sun-protection products last.
