5 Best Face Oils For Acne Prone Skin

Does putting oil on your acne-prone face sound insane? We don’t blame you if it does because that’s what we have grown up believing. But this can’t be farthest from the truth. "Face oil can clear up your skin and rejuvenate and repair it, make it smooth and plump in the long run. Using facial oils should be an important step towards your skincare ritual regardless of your skin type," says Ritika Jayaswal, Founder and CEO, Nourish Mantra, an Ayurvedic skin care brand.   She further explains that it’s a myth that people with oily skin type should avoid using facial oil. The function of a facial oil is to penetrate the skin, moisturise it and create an occlusive layer to seal in moisture, keeping it hydrated. These oils provide anti-inflammatory and antibacterial benefits, which can help reduce redness and sensitivity due to acne while diminishing post-breakout discolourations.
