Facial oils play an important role in pretty much anyone’s skincare routine. Choosing the right face oil for your skin type helps lend a healthy, hydrated and youthful-looking glow.
Read on to discover how to use face oil and the best facial oils for oily skin, mature skin and just about every skin concern in-between!
What is Face Oil?
Face oils are beautifully lightweight, oil-based emollient formulas designed to be used on the face. They're typically infused with non-comedogenic botanical oils and essential oils to nourish the skin, seal in moisture, and provide a concentrated dose of hydration.
ELEMIS face oils are abundant in antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and natural extracts such as superfoods and seaweeds to help promote a hydrated, healthy-looking glow.
What Skin Type is Face Oil For?
Skin oils are designed for all skin types - even oily ones! It may sound counter-intuitive, but facial oils help to support the skins moisture barrier and create balance to avoid the skin over-producing natural oils. They can help to even out combination skin, and quench particularly dry skin.
How to Apply Face Oil?
Moisturiser or face oil first? Due to ELEMIS’ lightweight formulas, facial oils can be applied on cleansed skin, before applying serum and moisturiser.
Step 1: Cleanse the skin with your favourite ELEMIS cleanser.
Step 2: Apply 3-4 drops of face oil into your palms and rub together to warm the product.
Step 3: Using the whole surface of your hands, press the facial oil into the skin.
Step 4: Smooth the remaining oil onto the face and neck.
Step 5: Follow with your favourite ELEMIS serum, moisturiser, or night cream.
