FAQs About Face Oils

What are face oils, and why should I use one? Face oils are nourishing treatments that help lock in moisture, strengthen the skin barrier and deliver a concentrated dose of nutrients. They're excellent for sealing in hydration and supporting overall skincare health—especially in colder months or dry environments.

When should I use a face oil in my routine? After serum and before (or instead of) moisturiser—they can also be mixed into your night cream for an added boost. Contrary to popular belief, they are also great for the daytime—just opt for lighter oils that absorb quickly. They can even provide a natural glow under makeup, but don't forget SPF if wearing during the day—and bear in mind that oils and run-of-the-mill moisturisers are not exactly interchangeable: oils lock in hydration, but they don't typically add water, so for best results, layer over a hydrating serum or cream.

Which face oil is right for my skin type?

• Dry or mature skin: Go for richer oils like marula, argan or rosehip.

• Oily or acne-prone skin: Choose lightweight, non-comedogenic oils like squalane or jojoba.

• Sensitive skin: Look for calming oils like chamomile or calendula and stick to fragrance-free options.
