Face Oils for Naturally Clear and Flawless Skin

I have a teeny-tiny little obsession with oil. That I put on my face. That’s right, I put oil on my face.

Now there was a time that I would have shuddered at the very idea. I went out of my way to scan every skincare product I purchased for “oil-free” before giving it the green light, thinking that any oil would instantly clog pores upon contact and turn me into one big walking blackhead. And when it came to dealing with breakouts, I saw oil as my ultimate enemy. I mean, I wiped my face with rubbing alcohol at one point.

Ironically, it was in an act of acne-induced desperation that I finally gave oil a chance, and I’ve never looked back.

Natural oils, such as coconut oil, shea butter oil, and olive oil, have been used for skincare and hair care for centuries. Generation after generation has touted them for various moisturizing, protective, and antibacterial qualities. With the growth of the modern cosmetic and wellness industries, these deceptively simple substances have often been overlooked, but they’ve had a bit of a resurgence in the public eye over the last decade, as people strive to find additive-free, affordable, and effective products.

But which oils should you use, and how? What’s the difference between them?

Read on for more information about how natural oils can help give you radiant, healthy skin.

Where to Start With Natural Oils for Skin Care

Before applying any oils to the skin, it is important to receive a recommendation from your doctor. But to get you started, here are some of the most popular varieties of natural oils: 

1. Coconut Oil

Coconut oil is easily absorbed into the skin and is known to have many health benefits, including vitamins E and K, as well as its antifungal and antibacterial properties. The one big exception? Along with cocoa butter, coconut oil is likely to cause breakouts. “In general, coconut oil is a great option for almost everybody, except if you have oily skin and you're acne-prone, I would not use it on the face,” Katta says. In a study published in the journal Dermatitis, researchers found coconut oil was better than olive oil at moisturizing skin when used in a carrier. Remember to look for cold-pressed, unrefined coconut oil for your face or skincare.
