I never knew I needed a face oil until I introduced one to my routine. No matter your skin type, face oils are great not only for nourishing skin but also treating certain skin concerns. If your complexion looks dull and dehydrated or your skin barrier is damaged, adding face oils to your routine can do wonders for those issues. Plus, they generate an instant glow!
