Every cosmetic oil has its own specific properties. That's why it's essential to choose an oil suited to your skin type.
Oils provide the skin with extra fatty substances, a precious asset for dry, dehydrated skin. Applied to the surface, oil forms a protective shield that limits water evaporation and strengthens the cutaneous barrier.
Contrary to popular belief, even oily skin can benefit from a suitable oil. It helps rebalance sebum production without clogging pores, and provides the skin with essential nutrients.
Over time, our skin naturally produces less sebum. The result is drier skin, more prone to dehydration. So, as we age, it becomes essential to incorporate a facial oil into our routine.
When and how to apply oil?
In a classic skincare routine, oil is applied after cream, mainly in the evening. It helps retain moisture and deeply nourish the skin overnight.
Two beauty tips to adopt
Tip n°1: Mix oil + serum
For those who don't like a greasy feel, here's a magic technique:
Mix 2 drops of oil with 1 drop of hyaluronic acid serum.
Apply the mixture to the face in the morning or evening.
Result: a light emulsion with no oily finish, ideal for all skin types. Bonus: a velvety effect if you use a dry oil!
This preparation creates a unique synergy betweennourishing oil andmoisturizing hyaluronic acid, which cannot usually be combined in the laboratory. A real innovation to use at home.
Tip #2: Use oil as a face mask
Another highly effective method: the lotion-enhanced oil mask.
Apply oil all over the face (avoiding the eye contour area).
Massage for a few minutes, using circular movements.
Take a cloth mask, fold it and soak it in a lotion suited to your skin type.
Place the mask on your face for 20 minutes.
Remove, then massage the excess into the skin.
This treatment acts like an active cataplasm: the oil repairs and regenerates, while the lotion moisturizes, soothes and softens. Ideal for comfortable, luminous, plumped skin in the morning.
To remember
Whether you have dry, oily or sensitive skin, facial oil can become your essential beauty ally. Properly chosen and used, it provides your skin with nutrition, protection and radiance. A routine to adopt this evening!
