The Best Oils for Acne Prone Skin

About 10 years back I would have seriously laughed at an article like this one. Best oils for acne-prone skin indeed! But life changed and times changed and so did my views on skincare.

My views on skincare did change really drastically. And I used the word drastic as most of the things I believed were good for skin, I now believe are really bad for the skin. For example, I thought that benzoyl peroxide was good for my acne. Today I won’t bring it anywhere near my skin even if I have a really bad breakout. And I urge you to do the same as well.

Guide to Using Oils in Your Skin Care

Oils have always got a bad rap when it comes to acne. Whether it is in food or oils in skin care for acne. If you have acne you are always advised to look for products that are oil free. Oil free moisturisers and oil free face washes have always been held in high esteem by acne sufferers. Since it is assumed that acne is caused by excess oil, oil has never been a big part of any skin care routine meant for acne prone skin.

In this post however I’m going to show you how you can use oils in skin care even when you have acne. I’m also going to tell you why it is bad to banish all oil from your skin.
