Some of us are no strangers to the concept of adding a dollop of oil into our daily skincare regime, but just how many of us are well-acquainted with the benefits that we can reap out of using liquid gold?

Those with dry skin types will harvest the perks of beauty oils tremendously. The rich emollient reduces the appearance of wrinkles, fills up the spaces in between fine lines, and helps to hydrate rough patches and the driest of skin. That's not to say that those with oily skin types or acne-prone skin can't implement the usage of oil into their regime: Two to three drops work towards regulating the production of oil deep beneath your skin, diminishing acne breakouts and attacks along the way.

We love that oils are lightweight, and do not tug on the skin as some creams do, making it a superb alternative to heal fragile and tender skin. Here are a few choice oils that lend a healthy sheen to your skincare diet.

- You'd do well to massage a few drops of argan oil into your scalp every night as it aids hair growth.
