Maria Galland Extra-Active Omega 3.6 Complex 9

Some people might shirk at applying face oil on the skin. Surely, it will be difficult to absorb, leaving your skin greasy?

Well, no – it’s actually incredibly beneficial. Like Good Housekeeping Magazine notes, the Ancient Egyptians kept their skin vibrant and flawless with Moringa Oil. And this (very) old-school beauty secret is making a pretty big comeback right now. In fact, according to top dermatologists, facial oils may be that missing step in your beauty routine.

The key is to recognise that not all facial oils are the same, says Dr. Rebecca Tung, chair of the Division of Dermatology at Loyola University of Chicago. She adds, “Some can nourish the skin, while others can be potential irritants — so choose wisely.” And before you start a regimen, you should always check with your dermatologist. Keep reading to see why oils should be the next page in your beauty playbook — and which ones could work best for you.

Too much unprotected ultraviolet light is a set-up for free radical damage — and that means wrinkles and sunspots galore. Some facial oils are packed with antioxidants, which prevent further aging, says Dr. Tung, so if you’re affected by sun damage and dryness, she recommends looking for products containing primrose oil or those with a vitamin E base, such as Argan oil.

If your skin tends to be on the shiny side and you’re nervous about trying oils, Dr. Allison Hanlon, dermatologist in Nashville, Tennessee, prefers a dab of grape seed oil because it’s anti-aging, light, non-greasy, and beautifully fragranced. After washing your face at night, dabbing a tiny bit of your preferred oil to the forehead, each cheek, nose, and chin can be beneficial.
