Facial oils help improve your skin by giving it a radiant complexion. It also boosts your skin's health as it is infused with nourishing ingredients such as essential oils. They are typically gentle and non-irritating, making them part of the considered ‘holy grail’ skincare products for people with sensitive skin. 

However, there are still exceptions when it comes to using facial oil. Despite its proven amazing effect on one's skin, it's still imperative to be mindful of choosing the right oil depending on your specific skin type, as certain oils may be too heavy for those with combination and oily skin types. For this specific situation, be sure to look for facial oils that are specifically created for your skin type and consistently include them in your skincare routine for best results. 

With regular use, facial oil can help to improve the health and appearance of your skin, leaving it looking radiant and beautiful.

Navigating the world of facial oils can be a daunting task. With a lot of choices and various oils available in the market, it sure is challenging to find the best facial oil for your skin type. Good thing I have prepared some simple tips for you to find the perfect facial oil for your skin type.

You know your skin better than anyone. But in case you’re not sure, it’s better that you determine what kind of skin you have–is it dry, oily, or a combination?

If you have sensitive skin or acne-prone skin, I recommend using a facial oil that is non-comedogenic. Argan Oil, Jojoba Oil, and Squalane are the best examples of non-comedogenic oil. These kinds of oils will not clog your pores so you’ll be confident they won’t cause a breakout.

Facial oils with active ingredients such as vitamin E and other antioxidants provide extra moisture and keep your skin healthy and nourished. These substances can help protect your skin from environmental damage while also maintaining its health and radiance.

Before using any new oil, it's always recommended to patch-test it on a small area of skin first to ensure that you don't have an adverse reaction.

Just follow these recommended steps and you will for sure find the best facial oil for your skin type.

Facial oil is one of the must-have skincare products these days—it’s definitely a great addition to your skincare routine! However, since facial oil products are a little confusing, there are many misconceptions about when and how to use them.

• Apply facial oil after cleansing and toning your skin. To lock and keep the moisture of your skin throughout the day, wearing a facial oil is definitely recommended.

  
  

• Use Water Oil  in the evening before bed. This is the best time when oil is being absorbed better by your skin. You will wake up with a refreshed and rejuvenated complexion.

  
  

• Apply Water Oil before makeup application. This will help create a smooth, glowing base for your makeup, and your skin will look radiant throughout the day.

  
  

• Use my facial oil as a spot treatment for dry patches or areas of inflammation. A few drops of oil on the affected area can help soothe and hydrate the skin.

  
  

• Apply Water Oil  before using a facial roller or gua sha tool. This will help the tool glide smoothly over the skin and give you the best results.

  
  

• Apply Water Oil to your neck and chest area. These areas are often overlooked, but they are just as important as your face. The oil will help prevent premature aging and the appearance of fine lines.

  
  

• Apply Water Oil after a day out in the cold or wind. This will help protect and nourish your skin, which can become dry and damaged in harsh weather conditions.

  
  
• Apply Water Oil after exfoliating. This will help replenish and nourish your skin, which can become dry and sensitive after exfoliation.

Start with a few drops of oil and massage it gently into damp skin. This will help your skin absorb the oil and make the most out of its benefits. Also, using an oil-based cleanser can help remove free radical damage and excess sebum production, leaving your skin with a healthy and protective barrier.

Follow these simple yet effective tips for applying facial oil to reap maximum benefits for your skin concerns:

• Start with a small amount of Water Oil. Remember, a little goes a long way! Just start with a few drops and work your way up if needed.

  
  

• Warm the oil between your palms before applying. This step helps the oil penetrate deeper into the top layers of your skin, enhancing its effectiveness.

  
  

• Gently massage the oil into your skin using upward motions. This technique helps to stimulate blood flow, increase the absorption of the oil, and improve the appearance of pores. Use your fingertips to massage the oil into any areas of concern, such as dry patches or areas prone to breakouts.

  
  

• Use a facial roller or gua sha tool to enhance absorption and promote lymphatic drainage. These tools help to further massage the oil into your skin, promoting circulation and helping to reduce puffiness and inflammation. Try using a roller or gua sha tool after applying your facial oil for an extra boost of self-care.

  
  
• Don't forget to apply Water Oil to your neck and décolletage. These areas are often neglected but can benefit greatly from the moisturizing and anti-aging effects of facial oil. Use the same upward motions as you would on your face to apply the oil evenly and avoid tugging or pulling on the delicate skin in these areas.

Using these tips for applying facial oil can help you achieve smoother, more radiant, and youthful-looking skin while addressing skin conditions such as transepidermal water loss, mature skin, and loss of skin elasticity. Remember to apply facial oil to your whole face, including the neck and décolletage, and enjoy the many benefits that it can offer!
