Can face oil help with sun protection?

Short answer: No, face oil alone cannot provide sufficient sun protection.

Detailed answer

Face oil does not have any inherent protective properties against the sun's harmful rays. It primarily moisturizes and nourishes the skin. Sun protection requires the use of sunscreen with a broad-spectrum SPF, which creates a physical or chemical barrier to block damaging UV rays. While some facial oils may contain natural ingredients with minimal sun protection properties, they are not considered reliable or adequate for sun protection. To effectively protect your skin from the sun, always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an appropriate SPF rating in addition to your skincare routine, including face oil if desired.
