Have you started using oils in your beauty routine? Let me introduce you to one of my favorite oils right now – grapeseed oil. For the longest time, I used only coconut oil. I used it as a hair mask, lip balm, body lotion—pretty much everything. But, with so many amazing oils on the market right now, I wanted to try something else. First of all, my skin tends to get very oily at times, so I wasn’t sure I…
