Face moisturizer
I would like to know which is the best suited oil that can be used as a face moisturizer. I have been using coconut oil since a month but it seems that it tends to clog pores. I have not seen the side effects yet but would like some advice. Thank You

Please avoid using oil as a moisturiser because oil forms a coating on the skin which tends to occlude the sweat glands and sebaceous gland openings which leads to formation of acne. You can use Emolene cream as a moisturiser for the face if you want. Hope this is helpful.
