In an era when 20-step skincare routines might be the reason why some millennials like me won’t be able to retire comfortably (but at least we'll have nice skin!), it’s important to consider why you should clear some space on your cabinet shelves for some natural face oil. If your skin tends to be oily already, adding this step to your daily routine might sound counterintuitive. However, it actually helps prevent your skin from producing the excess oil that often causes your pores to clog and trigger breakouts.
With this, face oil has promising benefits for all skin types and has many purposes. It helps retain moisture promotes your natural glow, and acts as a blanket to protect your skin from harmful pollutants and free radicals (atoms that damage cells and cause your complexion to age prematurely). And since the benefits of natural beauty products (or clean beauty if you may) are backed up by scientific research and seem to multiply themselves by the day, we've compiled a list of the 5 best natural face oils for smooth, radiant, and healthy-looking skin.
