When in Doubt, Go With Oil-Based Products
When in Doubt, Go With Oil-Based Products If all of this oil info is making your head spin, we don't blame you. A foolproof solution if you want to play it safe? "Choose oil-based products, rather than pure oils," recommends Gohara. "Let the beauty companies do the work for you.
