Let me confess something: I used to be terrified of face oils. The idea of slathering oil on my combination skin—especially my already-shiny T-zone—felt like a one-way ticket to Breakout City. But then I met Chriselle, our resident beauty oil guru, who has the kind of glowing complexion that makes you question every life choice that led you to neglect oils.
Watching her religiously empty bottle after bottle of luxurious oils, I finally caved. And friends? I’ve seen the light. Oils aren’t just for dry skin—they’re transformative for every skin type when you find the right one.
If you’re still skeptical (as I was), let me walk you through the game-changing oils that converted me—for face, hair, and body.

The Oil Epiphany
Here’s what I’ve learned: Oils aren’t just moisturizers—they’re multitasking powerhouses. They:
✔ Penetrate deeper than creams
✔ Lock in hydration without clogging pores
✔ Adapt to your needs (mix with serum, layer over moisturizer, or use solo)
And for my fellow combo-skin skeptics? The right oil balances oil production—it doesn’t exacerbate it.
