Best Face Oils From Sephora Philippines If You Want Radiant Skin

The idea of slathering oil on your face as a form of skincare may seem like the stuff of nightmares. But before you say yikes, consider this: our skin naturally produces oils.

Dr. Noelani Gonzales, director of cosmetic dermatology at Mount Sinai West in New York City, told TODAY in 2019 that these natural oils and lipids help prevent the skin from losing water. She likened the skin to a brick wall, with the skin cells as the bricks and the oils and lipids as mortar that keeps the bricks in place.

"Face oils are considered a type of emollient, which means they help strengthen the outer layer of your skin — the stratum corneum — by softening and sealing it, preventing water loss," she said.

These days, though, face oils run aplenty in the market. Not sure which one to get? To help you narrow down your choices, check out our selection of some of the top-rated face oils from Sephora Philippines.
