As you can probably guess, facial oils are oil-based liquid formulas designed to be used on the skin. They’re typically formulated with non-comedogenic botanical oils and essential oils, which won’t cause breakouts or clogged pores. Facial oils often also include plant extracts and antioxidants.
Like with all skin care products, the order of application matters. When it comes to facial oils, they should be applied as the last step in your skin care routine. I will share my personal routine for you:
-
Face Wash (see our varieties)
-
Hyaluronic Face Serum (Morning & Evening)
-
Vitamin C Serum (Evening)
-
Beauty Oil (Morning & Evening)
-
Face cream (Night).
Facial oil benefits for skin:
-
Strengthens the skin barrier to trap moisture and hydrate the skin.
-
Supports soft and supple skin.
-
Evens skin complexion.
-
Regulates natural sebum (oil) production.
-
Reduces acne breakouts and blemishes (anti-inflammatory properties)
-
Cleanses the skin (antibacterial properties)
Facial oils clog pores.
Let’s cut to the chase right away – facial oils will not clog your pores. Oil (or sebum) occurs naturally in your skin and your sebaceous glands are constantly working to pump it out. Acne is a result of hair follicles that become clogged with oil and dead skin cells.
