Facial oils are no longer an insider tip for caring for your face, but an integral part of many skincare routines. But how do you actually use them effectively? What can facial oils do and how do they perfectly complement your daily skincare routine? Here you can find out why you should definitely give facial oils a try and how versatile their use can be.
What makes facial oil so special? Take care of your face!
Vegetable oils contain valuable fatty acids that are very similar to the body’s own fats. They can help to nourish the skin and face and keep them supple.
Facial oils have some important benefits for your skin:
- Facial oils usually consist entirely of oily extracts. Unlike creams and lotions, they do not contain a water phase. This makes them particularly rich.
- Many facial care oils require no or very few preservatives.
- A facial care oil forms a gentle film on the skin that locks in moisture. This protects the skin from excessive dryness. Oils are therefore particularly suitable for dry, mature and sensitive skin.
- You can use oils for your face in different ways: Use them pure, mix them with other skin care products or enrich them with additional active ingredients!
What is facial oil used for?
You can use a moisturizing oil to achieve different effects. Oils act like a protective film that keeps moisture on the skin. Certain oils nourish the skin, make it feel supple and give it a natural glow. A good facial care oil also protects the skin from wind, cold, dry air and other environmental influences. Oils are therefore well suited as weather protection.
Do you need a cream despite using facial oil?
Most users combine creams and oils. The two care products fulfill different purposes. Creams and lotions also contain water and moisturizing ingredients such as glycerine or hyaluronic acid. These ensure that the skin is optimally moisturized.
In contrast, moisturizing oils seal in this moisture and help to keep it in the skin for longer. Therefore, if you want to use both, you should use the cream first and then the facial oil.
4 ways to incorporate facial oil into your skincare routine
Good skin oils are very flexible and can be used in many different ways:
1. facial care oil as the last care step
With this option, you first cleanse your skin. You can now optionally use a serum. Then apply your usual face cream. The last step is to apply a few drops of skincare oil to your face.
This skincare routine is particularly suitable if your skin is under stress, very sensitive or needs to be protected against the cold.
2. oil-cream mix
This routine requires a minimum of care steps. Simply mix one or two drops of oil directly into your usual cream before applying it to the skin! This makes the texture richer without you needing a completely new product.
This variant is perfect for dry skin, for targeted care for combination skin or as rich protection against the cold in winter.
3. pure as skin care
If you have very dry or sensitive skin, you can use the oil on its own to care for your face. Simply apply it in the evening after cleansing! This gives your skin time to absorb all the lipids and nourishing ingredients overnight.
4. targeted facial care for external stresses
A good facial oil can also provide your skin with pleasant care in cases of external stress such as dryness or after sun exposure. In such cases, simply pat a drop into the relevant area of skin!
