Which Facial Oil Should You Be Using?

Confused about which facial oil will be best for your skin? We don’t blame you. With so many golden oils out there, it can be tricky to know exactly which one will work wonders on your complexion.

Got oily skin? Even better! Facial oils can actually help give your skin the hydration it’s craving to help balance out your skin’s oil production.

So, what are you waiting for? Get these goodies on your skin sooner rather than later and start reaping the benefits!

TEA TREE OIL

Dealing with breakouts and acne? Make tea tree oil your new BFF. This fresh-smelling oil fights off acne-causing bacteria, which helps decrease its severity. As an added benefit, it also reduces the skin redness and inflammation that comes with breakouts, as well as lower sebum production.

ROSEHIP OIL

If you’ve never tried rosehip oil on your skin before, put it at the top of your to-do list, stat! Rosehip oil is bursting with essential fatty acids, vitamins and antioxidants, as well as age-fighting vitamin A. This luscious oil is the perfect all-rounder for hydrating, protecting your skin and preventing the signs of ageing!

SWEET ALMOND OIL

This oil has amazing moisturising benefits, so if dry skin is your gripe, your skin will drink this up. It’s also rich in vitamin E, which is great for firming the skin, and this oil won’t block your pores or leave your skin feeling sticky either – bonus!

CHIA SEED OIL

This liquid gold is starting to grab a lot of attention in the beauty world, and for good reason! It’s a dream for injecting skin with a hit of hydration thanks to omega-3 and six fatty acids, leaving your skin looking soft and smooth with an enviable glow.

ARGAN OIL

Similarly to chia seed oil, argan oil is super hydrating for your skin – it actually contains 80 per cent unsaturated essential fatty acids! After applying, rather than washing your hands, run them through the lengths of your hair and massage the leftover oil into your hands for glossy locks and smooth mitts.

I started late with the rosehip oil, but I'm glad I did. It has improved my skin tremendously.

I use a face oil that has multiple ingredients listed above - a genius product that works absolute wonders for me.

I had not heard of Chia Oil

Laura Amy 6 Jul 2016 11:08 AM

Never even heard of Chia seed oil! This is going to be fun to try!!!!

They negate to say you really shouldn't be putting tea tree oil all over your face - and definitely avoiding eye contact. You should only be applying a bit with a q-tip on blemishes or problem areas. Additionally, you should check for sensitivity as well, as some are allergic to Tea Tree.

great points thanks for sharing

I use oils all the time as part of my skin/hair care, including the ones that are packaged for consumption.

I have been using Trilogy rosehip oil for a long time. Sweet almond oil sounds lovely too!

I have been using Rosehip Oil on my skin, its wonderful. I would like to try some of these other oils to see how my skin goes.

I've tried and love Thursday Plantation's Macadamia Oil, and now Goodness' Chia Seed Oil. I've also got Thursday Plantation's Rosehip. They are all brilliant!

I am a huge fan of RHO, it gives my skin a radiance that I don't get from any other product. Especially love the Trilogy one with the antioxidants added

Harmony Queen 28 Nov 2015 9:10 AM

I am currently using Trilogy Rosehip which is very natural and soothing to the skin especially for my neck area and tea tree is good as an antiseptic .

I love rosehip but would like to try sweet almond from this info too

Elsje 11 Nov 2015 12:29 AM

I recently got some rosehip oil, I still havent been able to try it out yet.

ray_jay 9 Nov 2015 10:58 PM

Jojoba oil all the way... Chia sounds good too. Rosehip makes my skin breakout

Muser 9 Nov 2015 9:25 PM

I really like using jojoba oil, rose hip oil would be more second favourite. Not sure if I would try the others, chia seed oil sounds a bit funky lol.
