Face oils don't hydrate your skin, they seal moisture in. Shereene Idriss recommends exfoliating with glycolic acid, layering a glycerin serum and ceramide moisturizer, then sealing with Vaseline or face oil at night.
A face oil is not going to hydrate your skin. A face oil is not going to hydrate your skin. You don't drink olive oil or coconut oil or jojoba oil or any oil because you are dehydrated.
