my face and body?
I usually apply the oils on wet/damp skin and it goes on smoothly plus my organic sunscreen, do I still need moisturizer?
Thank You! |

It depends on your skin condition, if the skin is good after using oil the next morning, it would no longer need to add moisturizing cream. If not, you need to use the product stack. |

If your skin still acts dry, you could use an humectant like trehalose or glycerin with the oil, either as a separate serum or combined in an emulsion with the oil. Otherwise, apply it on damp skin is a great idea! |

In general (some exceptions), oils are sealants. They seal the skin and prevent existing moisture from escaping, but they do not strictly moisturize the skin.
Humectants draw water from the environment to the skin.
You can have oily skin that is dehydrated.
You can also have moisturized skin that is non-oily.
I would recommend a good cream with humectants over an oil. |

The great thing about using oil is that you avoid all the not so nice additives in face and body cream products.
I would favour oils any day, for this reason, and to add glycerin if need be.
So many oils are aromatic as well, which is mood enhancing..got to be a bonus! |
