How to use face oil?
If you’ve been following the latest celebrity news, you’ve seen and heard that many stars are adding oil to their skincare routine. And that brings up many questions: how to use it, how to apply it, which product to buy? That’s why we’ve created a guide to help you.
Why use face oil?
- It acts as a sealant, locking in both moisture in the protective barrier and the cosmetics you applied beforehand. All of this helps to boost hydration.
- It contains vitamins and antioxidants that fight premature aging.
- It contributes to regeneration and can treat scars, acne marks, fine lines, and wrinkles.
- It is well-tolerated by sensitive skin.
- It can be applied to oily skin.
How to choose
Opt for a multi-benefit product with blended oils, such as rosewood, passion fruit, and Brazil nut. It is important that it is clean beauty. Stay away from synthetic and mineral versions, which can dry out the skin and cause other problems, such as enlarged and clogged pores.
How to use
It is the last step of your nighttime skincare routine and the second-to-last in the morning, before sun protection.
Apply two to three drops to the palms of your hands, rub them together well, and apply to your face using light, circular motions.
What is the frequency?
Normal and dry skin types can use it daily, both morning and night. For oily skin, however, the guidelines are different. Start by applying it once a week, only at night, and gradually increase the frequency until you reach three times a week.
You can also test it during the day: mix one drop of oil into your serum or moisturizer. If you notice an increase in oiliness or acne, reduce the frequency.
Another tip is to apply the oil only to the drier areas of the face, leaving the T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin) alone.
Before makeup
It hydrates and gives the skin an extra glow. It can be applied with your fingertips or even a sponge before makeup.
And, finally, a very common question: does it make the skin sticky?
It will only feel sticky and look oily if you use an oil that isn't recommended for the face and apply more than necessary. Otherwise, the skin absorbs the product quickly, providing a healthy, luminous, and radiant look.
