Face Oils
Home >
Face oil is a must for anyone with dry skin.
Anyone over age 30 can benefit from a face oil when the skin starts drying out from age-related loss of hyaluronic acid and collagen. Applying a face oil locks in the moisture and protects the skin barrier. This stabilises the skin and prevents fine lines.
The low humidity in airplanes and cold climates can lead to dry and dull skin for those traveling and living in temperate areas. Be ready for your holiday and touch down with a glow just by using a simple blend of serum and a few drops of face oil while onboard.
Q: Should a face oil be applied before or after your moisturiser?
The rule of thumb is to layer products from the lightest to the heaviest, from the most watery consistency to the creamiest. We recommend mixing 2-3 drops of your chosen face oil into your essence and using this as your base. Apply your moisturiser and sunscreen on top during the day, or apply an overnight mask and moisturiser on top during the evening.Using a face oil neat on the face should be reserved for the driest scaley cracked skin and over problematic spot areas, such as eczema.
