A facial oil is the sort of product that some people feel they should run a mile from. And who can blame them? 

Oil? Voluntarily applied to my skin? To add to the natural oil already causing havoc with it? No thanks. 

But wait. A facial oil can actually help to improve the skin, it works well with certain other products and feels super luxurious on application too. 

I know, I know. Adding yet another product to your routine feels a bit tedious. (That’ll be an extra £6,000 a month please!)

But I recommend you read about how a facial oil works first before deciding whether you need one or not. (Plus, I was exaggerating about the £6,000, obviously.)
