4 Tried & Tested Face Oils

Our beauty columnist tells us how to instantly brighten and moisturise skin

Face oils are great products to incorporate into your skincare routine to help hydrate, nourish and protect skin, but if you’re like me, breaking out is always a concern. Surprisingly oils can actually help clear and brighten skin if they’re formulated with the right ingredients. Also since oils sink directly into skin, your face will look seriously plump while fine lines and wrinkles will instantly be diminished. In addition, face oils usually contain healthy antioxidants and essential oils that help boost radiance and give you that dewy, glowing from within look. Here are a few tried and tested face oils.

This oil is perfect for people who suffer from break outs. It’s quickly absorbed into skin and helps clear congested pores. It contains salicylic acid, milk thistle, as well as green tea so not only is it treating acne but also preventing further breakouts from happening. It also has neroli and chamomile to help calm and hydrate skin.

Bobbi Brown ‘Extra’ Face Oil
I love this lightweight oil not only because you can use it as a primer under make-up but it’s also super hydrating. It contains vitamin E, sesame seed oil, and olive oil so it’s super conditioning and soothing. It also has a cocktail of essential oils like patchouli, lavender and sandalwood so the smell is very intoxicating. After applying make-up, I sometimes pat it on my cheekbones to get a natural glow.
