Face oils can function as emollients, which can add moisture and form an occlusive film on to lock in moisture. Each type of face oil has a unique combination of essential nutrients and fatty acids that nourish and revitalize skin by strengthening and repairing the lipid barrier within the stratum corneum (the outermost layer of the skin).
Benefits of Using Face Oils & Different Types to Consider
Face oils are mega multitaskers: they provide your skin with an extra layer of protection to trap in moisture while also addressing a host of other skin concerns. The benefits of using face oil include the following:
Stimulating collagen production to minimize fine lines and wrinkles.
Protecting skin from oxidative stress caused by free radicals
Evening out skin tone and correcting discoloration
Brightening and promoting a fresh glow in dull, tired skin
Creating a dewy finish when added before (or with) foundation
Here's a breakdown of some beneficial face oils:
Rosehip oil is gentle and packed with antioxidants and phytonutrients that support a healthy skin barrier. It's lauded for the radiant glow it brings to skin as well as its anti-irritant properties.
Marula oil has key amino acids that help reduce trans-epidermal moisture loss. It leaves skin nourished and hydrated, maintaining the skin barrier function.
Think of coconut oil as an overnight treatment to increase hydration and keep skin feeling supple. Keep in mind that because it's highly comedogenic, it can clog pores, so it's best not to apply more than once a week—especially if you have oily skin.
This oil has ultra-soothing, anti-inflammatory benefits that help resolve skin conditions. Since jojoba oil balances sebum production, you can use it as a treatment to clear acne and curb future breakouts.
How to Choose the Right Face Oil
Here are the recommended face oils for every skin type:
Face oil for dry skin: Coconut and rosehip oils are both known to help reduce skin conditions like scaliness and eczema.
Face oil for sensitive skin: Oils that contain chamomile and lavender are gentle on the skin and reduce irritation.
Face oil for oily and acne-prone skin: The antimicrobial properties of jojoba and tea tree oils help control and reduce acne-causing bacteria.
Face oil for combination skin: Marula oil has a nongreasy texture and is quick to absorb, which is ideal for this skin type's dual concerns.
Face oil for aging skin: Rosehip and olive oils are rich in nutrients and may help prevent signs of premature aging.
How to Apply Face Oil
The general rule is to layer your products in order of consistency, starting with the lightest and ending with the thickest (it's a good idea to wait a minute between each layer of product to allow it to fully penetrate). Since oil is the densest product in your routine and takes the longest to absorb, it should be applied last.
Apply only a few drops into your palm and pat it onto a damp skin, or add a few drops of water and blend well before applying. You can blend it with your moisturizer and reapply during the day for extra dry-skin comfort.
