If you’ve never used a face oil before, you might think that they’re a recipe for breakouts, but trust us when we tell you that facial oils, whether used alone or in tandem with moisturizer or foundation, can seriously transform your skin. Oils are rich in essential fatty acids that help nourish and protect your skin’s moisture barrier, plus they can give you an enviable glow. Here, we’re sharing three ways to incorporate face oils in your skincare routine and our favorite formulas from the drugstore. While they feel luxurious, these products are proof that you don’t need to spend a lot of money to find the perfect oil for you.How to Use a Face OilSTEP 1: Press It Into Your Skin After You CleanseA simple approach to applying face oils is to press the formula firmly into the skin. Typically, just two or three drops is enough to cover the face for a healthy dose of dewy hydration. Add a few more drops to your hands to cover your neck and chest — that area is often neglected. Once the oil sinks in, you can top it with a moisturizer. STEP 2: Mix It With Your Moisturizer for Extra HydrationIf you don’t want to add another step to your skincare routine, mix your oil of choice into your moisturizer and massage onto your face as usual for an added boost of nourishment and a subtle glow. STEP 3: Mix It Into Your Makeup for a Dewy FinishWant to step up your makeup game? Mix a few drops of face oil into your primer or liquid foundation. Doing so gives you a gorgeous, all-over glow. This trick is especially great for those with dry skin or for adding radiance to matte foundations. Our Favorite Drugstore Face Oils to TryCeraVe Skin Renewing Gel OilThis unique gel formula contains ceramides to help protect your skin’s moisture barrier and a sunflower blend to add an instant dose of radiance.
