Do facial oils have to be greasy?

Many people worry that facial oils will make their skin feel greasy or produce more oil — particularly if you suffer from a shiny complexion. But if you like the hydrating properties of oil, the new skincare trend for watery oils could be the solution. With no stickiness or greasiness, they hydrate skin and keep moisture locked in. Try skin79 Water Oil (£18.90, lookfantastic.com), which combines an equal ratio of plant oils and water, so the texture is light.

Or go for new guerlain abeille royale youth Watery Oil (from £37, debenhams.

com) which is a hybrid skincare product with an unusual oil-in-water formulation that works like a serum to plump skin and give radiance without shine.
