Why use a facial oil?

Face oils are fomulated using one or more plant-based oils. Rich in fatty acids and antioxidants, they act as a shield against external aggressors (pollution, cold, heat, etc.) that sensitise the skin and accelerate skin ageing. Facial oils also help retain water within the skin, limiting dehydration. Even if you have combination or oily skin, we still recommend incorporating this type of skincare product into your routine because, when chosen wisely, certain oils can regulate sebum production and therefore reduce shine!

Which face oil is best for you?

The benefits of using face oil

Added to either your day cream or night cream, or simply used on their own, face oils –depending on their composition – can address all types of skin concerns. Whether your skin is dehydrated, blemish-prone, or feels tight, or whether you want to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, there’s a face oil to suit your skin needs! Packed with fatty acids, omegas, and antioxidants, facial oils are absorbed almost instantly, delivering multiple benefits deep into the skin. Below is a brief overview of our cult-favorite oils for every skin concern.

Face oils for dehydrated skin

Dehydrated skin lacks water, and is easily identified by a tight skin sensation throughout the day, or by skin that appears to ‘crease’ with the slightest facial expression… This type of skin condition is worsened by external aggressors – such as an overheated or overly air-conditioned room – that leave the epidermis completely dried out. To help remedy this, we recommend face oils that protect the skin, limit water loss, boost radiance, and even help prevent premature ageing.

Face oils for dry & sensitive skin

Dry skin does not produce enough sebum, which is essential for proper protection against external aggressors and, above all, for comfort. Facial oils therefore act as a true SOS treatment by mimicking the skin’s natural sebum, putting an end to dry skin discomfort and flakiness. Our suggestion? Opt for rich oils – such as Borage, Avocado and Argan Oils – that penetrate deep into the skin.

Face oils for mature skin

To counteract the effects of time on the skin, restore density and elasticity, and even reduce the appearance of wrinkles and dark spots, face oils with advanced active ingredients (such as Peptides or Retinol), that are packed with antioxidants for brighter, better-protected skin, are the best choice. Drier skin types should favour formulas featuring rich plant-based oils, for added comfort.

Face oils for blemish-prone skin

Who says face oils aren’t suitable for problem skin? Perfectly mimicking natural sebum, they’re ideal for treating blemishes without stripping the skin – helping break the vicious cycle of shiny skin! To clarify the complexion and soothe inflammation, choose dry, balancing oils that are absorbed instantly. These face oils serve as an SOS essential too, helping skin heal significantly faster.
