Is it o.k to use any kind of oil on your face skin?

Well, is it?

No it is not. Some are OK, some are not. You  need to investigate which are comedogenic, and which are not.

I use a cleansing oil and haven't had any issues with it, but it's one of those that is specifically designed to be used on facial skin.

You also have to check your allergies.  If you are allergic to nuts, nut oils won't be for your face either.  Coconut and cocoa butters are higher in that pore clogging scale so I would not recommend that on your face.  Oils should be ideally be extra virgin, cold pressed.  You'll have to experiment on the texture you want from an oil and the type of skin you have.  Light oils like sweet almond and jojoba and grapeseed for a light moisturizer is great.  Avocado oil and emu oil are good for dry, more mature skin.  You can use olive oil to remove makeup.  I am very partial to a mix of jojoba, sweet almond and shea oil on my face.  I use it at night and it leaves my face amazingly smooth in the morning.

If you were hinting on using cooking oil like canola or vegetable or corn, it wouldn't be my choices.

I agree with what Leticia and divadoll said. You need to research and try out oils that are safe for topical and facial use and then find your preferences.
