Q: Are cleansing oils more likely to cause breakouts than other cleansers? I have oily skin and I’m wary of putting more oil on my face.
Oil-based cleansers actually help maintain the skin’s natural pH balance and work to regulate sebum production. They are generally suitable for all skin types, but if you have greasy skin, you should avoid those with lanolin, mineral oil and petroleum-derived ingredients, as these occlusives tend to clog pores, resulting in breakouts.
