Best lightweight facial oils for the lit-from-within glow

Best lightweight facial oils for the lit-from-within glow

There are truly very few skincare products as hydrating and nourishing as oils

by Moh Shu Ying and Valerie Toh  /   September 28, 2020

If you haven’t added a facial oil into your daily beauty routine, here’s why you should. Facial oils are full of skin-boosting nutrients like essential fatty acids and antioxidants, making them one of the best skincare products to give you a healthy and dewy complexion. Many of them also have additional benefits and can treat fine lines, reduce acne and calm inflamed skin. Although you may be wary of using facial oils in a humid climate like ours, there are many products that have non-greasy formulas and will not give you a shiny T-zone.
