How to use
The thought of putting oil on your face can sound intimidating but even oily skin types can benefit from the right oil. The Better Oil is your emollient champion! These light oils smooth the surface of skin, give skin a boost of nourishment, and leave skin with a subtle dewy finish.
NIGHT
A little goes a long way with this one. Just use 1-2 drops max as a last step in your night routine for a boost of nourishment. Mix with your night cream for a softer, more refined finish.
