The benefits of cleansing oils for your skin
If you suffer from dry skin and flakiness, your current gel or foam cleanser may be making it worse. You'll need to invest in a cleansing solution that's more hydrating and nourishing; enter cleansing oils. They efficiently break down makeup and oils, without stripping your skin of its natural moisture. Look for hero ingredients like glycerides and plant oils to take your skincare routine to the next level and incite long-lasting moisture.
FAQs About Cleansing Oils
What makes cleansing oils different from balms?
Cleansing oils are liquid from the bottle - no melting needed. They glide effortlessly across skin, breaking down makeup and SPF with a thinner, more spreadable consistency than balms. They're also easier to rinse off, leaving less residue.
Can oily or acne-prone skin types use oil cleansers?
Contrary to myth, the right oils (like jojoba or squalane) help dissolve excess sebum without clogging pores. The key is emulsification - adding water to turn the oil into a milky fluid before rinsing thoroughly.
When should I use a cleansing oil?
At night as the first step in a double cleanse - especially if you wear SPF, long-wear makeup or have exposed your skin to pollution. They're ideal for gently removing impurities without stripping moisture. Follow with a second cleanser, especially if your skin is acne-prone, sensitive or layered with heavy product. Use a mild gel or cream cleanser to rinse away oil traces and condition the skin barrier.
