Humans have used facial oils for thousands of years. Though popular thought links oil to acne, this is not entirely based on fact — acne is caused when blocked follicles get infected with bacteria. Facial oils, produced by a range of brands, can actually help prevent it; they moisturize the skin, addressing the dryness caused by anti-aging and anti-acne treatments, and reduce inflammation with the combination of fatty acids and antioxidants. The type of oil, and how you apply it, will always depend on your skin type, but most users find success by applying before a daily moisturizer. Here are five to consider.
