Why facial oil will save your skin
Publicado: 6/05/2024 | Author: Oriflame
Facial oil is the ultimate luxury treat for your skin – expect a smooth, deeply hydrated and plump finish. But what really makes facial oil so effective? Keep reading to find out!
We all know that face skin is prone to sensitivities – a new moisturiser or cleanser that’s slightly different from the products you use in your regular routine can bring about unwanted reactions. Add seasonal factors like air conditioning in summer, hot or damp days, or even harsh winter winds that might trigger dryness, and one thing is for sure: we’ll take any extra protection we can get!
That’s where face oils are a welcomed addition to any skincare routine. While they can have many potential benefits, their overall purpose is to serve as an extra level of protection for your skin by locking in moisture. And who doesn’t want that?
Why is face oil so effective
So how exactly do they work? If you think of the oils and lipids in the skin as the mortar that holds our skin cells together, preventing anything from seeping through, then face oils are a type of emollient that strengthens this barrier. They replenish the lipids or oils in your skin barrier so that water doesn’t escape, and therefore making it more resilient to the environmental factors.
People with dry skin may need to use facial oils all year long – the older you get, the drier your skin becomes, the more you may need facial oils. Even if you’re not worried about ageing skin (please tell us your secret!), another reason to use facial oils is to boost skin glow. Dehydrated skin cells tend to not organise themselves as well as they normally would, so the surface of the skin loses its smoothness and can start looking dull.
There you have it: a trifecta of benefits! Face oils not only nourish skin by locking in moisture but have glowing and plumping effects as well. Yes, please!
How to use face oil
The best way to incorporate face oil into your skincare routine is to apply it right after your serum, like the retinol packed, collagen boosting Novage+ Wrinkle Smooth Serum. If you don’t use a serum, apply before your night cream – try the skin barrier replenishing Novage+ Anti-Ageing Night Cream – or just before your day cream, such as Novage+ Day Cream SPF30. This is a great way to leave your skin revived with improved smoothness, radiance and tone.
