What does a face oil do? What’s all the hype about!?

Face Oil

The benefits of face oils span every skin type and goal. Because…

Face oils provide skin with AH-MAZING moisture.

Made of fatty acids and lipids, facial oils moisturize skin. They also lock hydration a.k.a. water into your skin and prevent transepidermal water loss. This translates to soft, supple, glowing skin.

Moisturized skin also appears more youthful than dry skin, and heals more quickly.

Face Oils are jam-packed with antioxidants, which fight the signs of aging AND blemishes.

“How?” you ask!?

  • Antioxidants neutralize aging free radicals
  • Antioxidants help stimulate collagen production
  • Antioxidants prevent sebum oxidation

Face oils really lead the army when it comes to the fight against acne and blemishes.
