There’s a common myth I want to
dispel about beauty oils – ‘oils cause breakouts’ – well, put simply, they don’t. You’d be forgiven for holding
this view, however - the magazines I read as a teen preached about the
spot-breeding evils of oil – hey, even my non-metrosexual boyfriend questioned
why I would risk using a facial oil when I told him I was trialling a new
product [he kindly indulges me in beauty-related conversations from time to
time]. Yet I can confidently say that subbing my bedtime moisturiser for oil
has been one of the best decision I’ve made for my skin since I took the plunge a year
ago. I’ve tried several oils in the interim, including Kadria’s Balancing
Face Oil which I was recently sent to try.
