Oils are treasures for the skin because they are rich in essential fatty acids.
Some people are still hesitant to apply oil to their face for fear of making their skin oily or causing breakouts. However, oils are treasures for the skin because they are rich in essential fatty acids that play a vital role in hydrating and protecting all skin types. They form a protective film that prevents the skin from dehydrating, rebuilds the skin barrier, and protects against external aggressors.
