How Face Oils Help Your Skin

September 27, 2024

Face oils are often misunderstood. Some worry they'll be too greasy, others fear they'll cause breakouts, and a few aren't sure where they fit into their routine. But the truth is that face oils can be a transformative addition to your skincare regimen—especially if you're looking to boost radiance, address signs of ageing, or restore balance to stressed, hormonal skin.

So, let’s dive into how face oils, particularly our Glow & Revitalize Oil Serum, can help your skin glow with vitality, balance, and health.

The Magic of Face Oils: Nourishment at a Deeper Level

One of the primary benefits of face oils is their ability to penetrate deeper into the skin, delivering essential fatty acids, vitamins, and antioxidants directly where they’re needed most. Unlike water-based skincare products, oils are lipophilic (oil-loving), which allows them to pass through the lipid layer of your skin with ease.

This means that face oils don’t just sit on the surface of your skin—they hydrate and nourish it from the inside out. This deep hydration helps to lock in moisture, soothe dryness, and restore a youthful glow. For those dealing with hormonal fluctuations or ageing skin, these benefits are key to achieving balanced, radiant skin.

Our Glow & Revitalize Oil Serum is crafted to deliver these benefits in spades. Made with a blend of high-performing, organic oils, it’s designed to combat dullness, fine lines, pigmentation, and overall skin imbalances, all while leaving your skin feeling soft and radiant.

Debunking the Myth: Face Oils Are Too Greasy

One common misconception is that face oils will leave your skin greasy and heavy. But not all oils are created equal. Some, like Rosehip Seed Oil, are lightweight and absorb quickly, delivering nourishment without the greasy residue.

Our Glow & Revitalize Oil Serum is formulated to be fast-absorbing, making it suitable for all skin types—even those with oily or combination skin. Ingredients like Olive Squalane (which closely mimics your skin’s natural sebum) balance oil production and calm any excess, helping both dry and oily skin types find their sweet spot.

Whether your skin feels parched or overly shiny, this serum adapts, providing the moisture your skin needs without tipping the scales.

Why Glow & Revitalize Oil Serum Is a Game-Changer

Now that we’ve covered why face oils can be a savior for your skin, let’s talk about why the Glow & Revitalize Oil Serum stands out.

1. Targets Fine Lines and Wrinkles

As we age, our skin naturally loses collagen and elasticity, leading to the formation of fine lines and wrinkles. While we can’t stop the clock, we can certainly slow it down. This serum is infused with Rosehip Seed Oil, which contains naturally occurring Retinoic Acid (a form of Vitamin A), known for its powerful anti-aging properties.

Rosehip Seed Oil helps to stimulate collagen production, reduce the appearance of fine lines, and promote smoother, more youthful skin. It also boasts a rich supply of Omega 3, 6, and 9 fatty acids, which keep the skin soft, supple, and hydrated. These fatty acids strengthen your skin barrier, making it more resilient against environmental stressors.

2. Evens Skin Tone and Reduces Pigmentation

Pigmentation can be a tricky issue, often exacerbated by sun damage, hormonal changes, or aging. The blend of Rosehip Seed Oil and Arctic Berry Extracts (such as Blackcurrant and Cranberry) in our serum works to help fade dark spots and even out skin tone.

These potent antioxidants help repair skin damage, neutralise free radicals, and brighten your complexion over time. With consistent use, you’ll notice a reduction in pigmentation, leading to clearer, more luminous skin.

3. Balances Oil Production

Many women, especially those going through hormonal changes, find themselves dealing with unpredictable skin. One day it’s dry, the next it’s oily, and sometimes it’s both at once! The balancing properties of Squalane and Nordic Oat Lipid in the Glow & Revitalize Oil Serum make it ideal for restoring harmony.

Squalane is a lightweight oil that mimics your skin’s own sebum, making it perfect for balancing oil production. Meanwhile, Nordic Oat Lipid forms a barrier to lock in moisture and protect your skin from external stressors like pollution or harsh weather conditions.

This combination ensures that your skin stays hydrated and balanced, never too oily or too dry.

Face Oils and Hormonal Skin

If you’re in your 40s and experiencing hormonal shifts, you’ve probably noticed changes in your skin. Whether it's increased sensitivity, breakouts, or a sudden loss of radiance, hormonal skin requires special attention. Face oils, like our Glow & Revitalize Oil Serum, offer a gentle but effective way to address these changes.

Hormonal skin often struggles with fluctuating oil production, which can lead to dryness and breakouts. The ceramide-rich oils in our serum, such as Nordic Oat Lipid, help to reinforce your skin barrier, locking in hydration and keeping irritants out. This protection is essential for keeping hormonal skin calm and healthy.

Plus, the Omega fatty acids in oils like Camellia Seed and Rosehip provide nourishment that helps balance and soothe stressed skin.

The Perfect Companion to Your Skincare Routine

Our Glow & Revitalize Oil Serum is more than just an oil—it’s a multi-functional treatment that can enhance your entire skincare routine. Use it as a final step after cleansing and applying your serums, or mix a few drops into your moisturizer for an extra boost of hydration.

It’s also an ideal partner for facial massage techniques like gua sha or jade rolling. The smooth, velvety texture makes it glide effortlessly over the skin, boosting circulation, enhancing absorption, and leaving your skin with an undeniable glow.
