is oil bad for my skin?
Not all oils are bad for the skin. In fact, botanical oils are having a much-deserved revival in skin care. Suffer from dryness? They’re predominantly moisturizing, making them a must-have. Mature, aging skin will soak up high levels of rejuvenating antioxidants, polyphenols and vitamins. And oily, acne-prone skin will find a happy place as they dissolve waxy, fatty deposits to deep clean without overdrawing. Here, Dermalogica skin experts round up their top facial oils for healthy skin.
1. Kukui Nut Oil
Aleurites Moluccana Seed
Rich in fatty acids, this oil makes dry, oily and even acne-prone skin feel soft and balanced. Find it in PreCleanse.
2. Rose Oil
Rosa Damascena Flower
This soothing, antioxidant-rich oil helps hydrate and firm while improving the appearance of aging skin. Find it in Skin Resurfacing Cleanser.
3. Argan Oil
Argania Spinosa Kernel
Ideal for mature, aging skin, this vitamin-rich oil helps prevent collagen breakdown (the catalyst of wrinkles and sagging). Find it in Overnight Repair Serum.
4. Cranberry Seed Oil
Vaccinum Macrocarpon Seed
This oil helps restore skin hydration and reduce the appearance of fine dehydration lines. Find it in Pure Night.
5. Evening Primrose Oil
