You’ve probably noticed that oil has become a super-popular ingredient in all kinds of beauty products from facial moisturizers to hair treatments. Do you find yourself steering clear for fear that they’ll leave a goopy, greasy mess behind, especially in warmer weather?
News flash: Using a few drops of oil can provide more beauty benefits than the typical cream-based product you’ve been using, and it’s actually lighter in texture and weight. Plant-based oils are especially ideal for soothing and smoothing your skin to bring out an au naturel glow. An oil is ideal for removing makeup, and you can even use an oil-based shampoo! Read on for 9 nourishing face, body, and hair oils to try out this summer.
