Afternoon beauty fix: The right types of oils for oil-prone skin

My extremely dry skin broke out after supplementing my face cream with a little oil. How can I get rid of the zits without further drying my face? You were on the right track with using oil to heal your dry skin but you have to be cautious about which one you choose. Lots of oils are made up of mineral oils, which are better for your body but not great for your face because they clog pores. Instead, go for essential oils. Decléor Paris' Radiance Cure Kit ($60, at the Bay) includes the Source D’éclat 10-Day Radiance Power Cure. It’s full of essential oils— from grapefruit and lemon—that purify the skin and put a stop to any bacteria. Pair that with the gentle exfoliation of the Radiance Revealing Peel-Off Mask and you’re on the fast track to perfectly refined skin.
