The human body secretes oils naturally but aging decreases that production significantly. Our skin needs oil to maintain a healthy balance else it gets too dry causing wrinkles, fine lines and breakouts. Applying a facial oil helps in keeping it moisturized along with protecting it from the environmental damage.
