Many people worry about oil in their facial moisturizers. But is oil necessarily a bad thing in a moisturizer?

Do you have oily skin? Do you find that many moisturizers actually seem to make your skin more oily and feel heavy and greasy?

If you do you’re not alone, many women find the same thing. So it seems to make sense that you should be using an oil free anti-aging facial moisturizer.

But if you did that you’d be throwing the baby out with the bathwater, well the oil anyway.

You see the problem with most of the moisturizers that use oil is that they use the wrong oil. There are many oils that are beneficial to your skin, and your skin, of course, has it’s own oil.

And as your skin loses oil it’s beneficial to add the oil back.

But the problem with most common moisturizers is that they use mineral oil. Mineral oil will clog pores, possibly create acne and make your skin feel greazy.

Why do they use mineral oil if it does this? Because it’s cheap.

The worlds best skincare and anti-aging products use oils known to be beneficial to the skin and which do not clog up pores or cause a breakout.

They use Babassu oil, from the fruit of the Babassu tree. This protects your skin and moisturizes very well. It also smooths the skin and helps the skin repair itself.

And they use grapeseed oil, which is high in beneficial anti oxidants, linoleic acid and other oils that are good for your skin.So if you’ve got an oily complexion, you don’t need to go to the point of using an oil free anti-aging facial moisturizer.

You just need to use the best moisturizer, with Babassu oil and grapeseed oil, and the oils will be benefitting your skin, not damaging it.
