The 10 Best Face Oils for Glowing Skin

Face oils are like the cake frosting of skincare. Layered on as the last step, a face oil helps lock in moisture to keep everything underneath soft and hydrated.

The best face oils won’t just leave your skin looking slick, but will actually deliver a potent dose of active ingredients, too. Ahead, the 10 face oils we love to pat on our skin morning and night.
