Let’s Talk Facial Oils

Not all facial oils are created equal!
For an extra boost of all-day moisture, apply a thin layer of one of our oils after your daily moisturizer.
Oils are lipophilic, meaning they can penetrate deeply and nourish, protect and repair skin. They are also ideal for acne prone skin because they reduce your skin’s oil production, so they can even reduce the size of your pores over time. One of the key benefits of facial oils is their all day protection.  High quality facial oils absorb quickly and really protect you, skin deep, all day long.

When should you apply face oil?

Facial oil should be the last step of your skincare routine.
On a molecular level, oils are heavier than the rest of your skincare products, like essences, serums,  and creams. This is why you should apply facial oils last. Oils can penetrate everything, but not everything can penetrate oil!⁣

Is oil really hydrating?

Oil is not a hydrating solution by itself. However it does lock in moisture!
You can add a few drops of face oil to your daily moisturizer or use it as the final step in your skincare routine. As a result, your skin will stay hydrated longer, even in the dry winter weather.

Will oil make me break out?

No! In fact, people who are acne prone and with oilier skin types should use facial oil to decrease natural sebum production.  Finding the right face oil can help clear pores of excess sebum, while also reducing inflammation and irritation. Plus, many of our botanical oils are not only naturally antibacterial, but they also absorb instantly into skin to restore smoothness and clarity.⁣
