Why your Skincare Routine Should Include a Face Oil

You might think that oils and skin don't mix, but believe it or not, face oils can actually be a game-changer for your skincare routine! They can help solve a variety of skin issues and transform your skin from dull to radiant. Here’s some of the reasons why you should include a natural face oil in your skincare routine:

1.     They Strengthen Your Skin Barrier

The skin barrier is important in maintaining happy and healthy skin. Small, invisible cracks are created when the protective barrier gets damaged. Plant oils rich in nutrients such as essential fatty acids help fill in the gaps between cells. Think of it as filling in cracks between concrete to make the surface smoother overall.

2. They Lock in Hydration:

They also seal in the moisture and prevent the hyaluronic acid we naturally produce from evaporating. Use a face oil as the last step in your skincare routine (but before SPF if using in the daytime). It will seal in hydration from any serums/moisturisers that you’ve used leaving behind hydrated glowy skin.

3.  They have Anti-aging Properties :

Argan and Rosehip oil found in our face oils contain antioxidants that can help to protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals, which can contribute to the development of fine lines and wrinkles. The high levels of Vitamin E and saponins in these oils soften skin and helps to reduce wrinkles by restoring the skin's water lipid layer.

4. Balance Your Skin’s Oil Levels:

Face oils can help balance the natural oil production of the skin, which can be helpful for those with oily or combination skin. It may sound counterintuitive to use a face oil on oily skin, but if the skin is stripped of natural oils, it will go into overproduction mode and cause more sebum build up. So using an oil can help replenish your skin’s natural oils, which can keep oil levels balanced and breakouts at bay.

5. They Calm Irritated Skin:

Plant oils have soothing and calming properties that can be helpful for those with sensitive or irritated skin.
