If many traditional cleansers leave your skin feeling dry and irritated, it may be time to try a facial cleansing oil. A vegan face oil — like the cruelty-free examples on this page — can help balance your skin while locking in moisture, plus there are kinds that work for all skin types and conditions. And knowing that no animals suffered or were killed for your skincare routine will really help you put your best face forward.
