Facial oils are great for hydrating the skin so they are particularly great for this time of year when the weather is drying.
They can actually be suitable for all types of skin and yes, that includes oily skin.
Facial oils are botanical oils and work to rebalance and normalize the skin. The effect of the oil is to plump up the skin and it absorbs other products which block the pores.
