Oils In Skincare: Throwing Down the Gauntlet

Wow, that really sucks! Maybe you should try coconut oil. It is not in liquid form as you know but you heat it up in a pan full of water in a separate bucket. It works for me and I have dry skin as well. And flaky too. It takes a while to get used to it because it felt too fatty on your skin but especially in winter it is really nice because it protects your skin from the elements a great deal. Of course if that doesn't help you I suggest you go and see a dermatologist.

Oils in skincare do work, if you use them properly and you have the right skin type. I have dry skin in winter, so I mix a little oil in with my regular moisturizer, which yes, I do still need to use or it isn't enough. I only get dry skin on certain areas of my face though so I only put the oil where it is needed. People with normal or even oily skin probably don't benefit from oils in skincare whatsoever, because they'll add more moisture and oil than actually needed. So oils are not right for everyone but can be great if you have dry skin. Together with a moisturizer where needed.

Okay. Skincare is there to be played with, experimented with. You keep on using what works well for you, and discard what does not help you or makes your skin worse. Some people take these skincare oils to such an extreme that they become gospel, and that is silly because they certainly do not please everyone's skin. Move on, keep on experimenting, and stick with the regime you find that does please your skin. Some people do find that they are better off with higher end products and though that is a shame in terms of spending money, your skin is worth something too.

Not to sound unsupportive of those who big puffy heart love all kindsa oils to stick on their face, yeah, but I also tried that and it just didn't feel right. Greasy, yet not absorbed properly, that kind of general "unfinished" feeling to my skin, KWIM? So yeah, I ain't using oil either no more. Took me about a week, hahaha. I do like natural products that are cruelty free when possible, but only if they're also affordable, 'cause I got a tight budget to work with, so at the moment Dr Organic does it for me. Very nice products, very reasonably priced IMO.
