If you are not using any type of facial oil in your beauty regime, I highly recommend you do so you can start reaping the rewards of these gems right away.
I typically apply facial oils in the winter months because colder weather can really dehydrated your skin, creating dry, chaffed patches. I will however also use it sparingly in the summer months if I have been in the sun too much!
Facial oils have gained a following in the beauty world and one of the great things about them is that they can be used for all skin types and the hydrating benefits are real. They can boost your skin’s natural glow and keep it better protected from dangerous, damaging free radicals. Even if your skin is already hydrated, adding facial oils to your daily routine can increase the long-term quality of your skin.
Why use facial oils?
Can add extra nourishment and seal in moisture
Help promote a healthy glow to your skin
Helps with a smooth application of foundation
Help protect your skin from pollutants

Coconut Oil:
I love to recommend Organic Coconut Oil for someone that does not want to buy pricey products! Coconut Oil is perfection in a bottle! Especially for all over body coverage because a large jar goes along way.
Coconut Oil is famous throughout the world not only as an edible oil and hair tonic but also as an oil and a moisturizer for the skin. In the tropical parts of the world where coconuts are readily available and used in many ways, natives use coconut oil for skin, as they believe that it protects from the sun’s harmful rays. So this natural oil, without any chemical or additives, can protect the skin in the hottest and sunniest places on earth better than the processed and artificial sun creams.
The best aspect of coconut oil that makes it so beneficial for skin is that it does not become rancid. When you apply it on the skin, it can work for a longer time, unlike many other oils, without getting rancid. Due to these various beneficial properties of coconut oil, it is used as an important ingredient in several skin care creams.
