Just call me Khalipid

I was asked to write about my favorite product.  I've raved about oil before but I wanted to share what I wrote. 


Oil! It is my "skin addiction"!! This is particularly true during the winter when I spend my time skiing... One must prevent the damage that can easily be done from exposure to solar radiation in the dry climate of higher altitudes. Thus, I make sure to keep my skin layered with my favorite oils and moisturizers. 
Although it seems inherently contradictory, using oils can actually be good for both oily and dry skin types. Dry skin obviously loves oil for its nourishing qualities, while  for oily skin some oils make excellent pre-cleansers (i.e., oils adhere to other oils and gets skin cleaner). Also, using an oil AFTER cleansing can condition the skin to reduce the amount of oil it produces on its own.
