I know, I know. The idea of rubbing actual oil on your face is terrifying if you’ve never done it before. But take my word for it, facial oil is life. The right one will not only seriously hydrate your skin, but it can also make your entire complexion look more radiant and luminescent.
Now here’s the catch: not all facial oils are created equal. Some are greasy, some don’t absorb all that well and some are thick and sticky. Lucky for you, the five best facial oils below are none of those things. They nourish and hydrate and they really give your skin “the glow.” Try one–or them all!–for yourself ASAP.

“This is the second time I’ve purchased Bio oil. I bought the small bottle the first time because I’m always sceptical of products with big claims. I am pleasantly surprised to find bio oil works very well on my skin. I mix it with my moisturizer products for my face. In a few days the Brown age spots began to fade. I wanted to make sure so I put just bio oil on brown spots on my arm. It worked!! I highly recommend this product.” – Loretta
