While I tend to avoid face oils in my day to day work, unless I’m working on a look that’s all about shine, adding an oil into your skincare regime can really help improve your skin tone and texture. A lot of people believe there’s no such thing as a face oil for acne, instead thinking they’re all aimed at dry skin types; but in reality, a face oil can help to control sebum production, as long as you choose an option that won’t clog pores.

Best face oil for dry skin

Emma Hardie Brilliance Facial Oil

If you have dry skin, it can be tempting to smother skin in a thick, rich oil or cream. Emma Hardie’s super-lightweight oil is instantly absorbed into skin with no greasy residue; and its blend of essential oils and plant extracts are soothing and brightening for dry skin. It’s great for combination skin, too, since it’s light enough for problem skin.

Bobbi Brown Skin Clarifier Pore & Oil Control

Some people will tell you that to clear acne you need to strip your skin of oil, but this can actually do more harm than good, sending your sebum production into overdrive. Instead, choose a non-comedogenic option that won’t clog pores, like Bobbi Brown’s skin clarifier, specifically designed to target acne and problem skin. This is also a great option for tackling shine, apply two or three drops to clean skin twice a day.
