Cleansing Oils That Are Worth Trying
No matter what we hear about oils being brilliant, a lot of us are still skeptical about using them. We fear that they will make our skin feel greasy and that they will give us spots. The thought of adding more oil to an oily face just doesn’t seem right. It may sound counterintuitive but the right oils are actually brilliant for your skin.
Cleansing oils help remove dirt and makeup in a way that your foam or creamy cleanses can’t. For a thorough cleanse, you can even use a cleansing oil along with your regular cleanser for an effective double cleansing. Try one of these cleansing oils for yourself and you’ll soon be an oil convert. We feature Cleansing Oils that are worth trying.
