Can facial oil prevent pigmentation?

in a word ‘yes’. Pigmentation can be linked to excessively dry skin and one of the best ways to lock in moisture is a facial oil. Consultant dermatologist Justine Hextall says: ‘By keeping the skin hydrated and the skin barrier intact by using an oil, we can reduce inflammation in the skin and, as a result, reduce uneven skin tone.’ Justine recommends Bio- Oil (£8.99, Boots), which includes vitamins a and e and chamomile oils. Other nourishing oils include rituals Pure Face Oil (£32.50, rituals.com) and Clean Beauty Company rosy glow Facial Oil (£35, cleanbeautyco.com). For a treat, esPa replenishing Face Treatment Oil (£57, espaskincare.com) is scented with neroli, sandalwood and patchouli.
