Should I Use Oil On My Face?

When it comes to moisturizing the face, there’s nothing hotter than facial oils. When formulated for skin care, these magical liquids work super hard to add moisture to your skin and provide nutrients. Here are a few ways that facial oils benefit your skin and help you achieve a glowing and hydrated face.  

The Benefits Of Face Oils

1. Hydrating Effects

Oils are the richest products, high in concentration of beneficial, antioxidant-rich lipids that work to restore the skin’s barrier and seal in moisture. Because oils are lipophilic (or “fat-loving”) elements, they pass through the lipid layer of the skin faster, trapping water and moisture and leading to superior hydration. Eminence Organic Skin Care President Boldijarre Koronczay says: “These high-quality facial oils absorb perfectly into the skin, leaving it hydrated and supple. Because the sizes of oil molecules are similar to our molecular composition, our body easily recognizes the product and absorbs the oil instantly.” These oils also repair and protect the skin’s lipid barrier, not only keeping moisture in but also helping to defend the skin against environmental stressors.

2. Packed With Nutrients

According to Well+Good, “oils are your best bet to maintain healthy skin tone, moisture and elasticity.” These miracle workers are a fantastic source of nourishing Vitamins (A, D, E and K), antioxidants and fatty acids. Together, these nutrients protect skin from water loss, keep it hydrated and improve the look of skin concerns like redness due to dryness and loss of elasticity. Experience the purest form of these nourishing ingredients in our Facial Recovery Oil. This luxurious facial oil combines polyphenol-rich olive oil and Vitamin E-enriched sesame oil to deliver much-needed hydration and nutrients for the skin.

3. Balancing Sebum Production

Contrary to popular belief, oil is one of the best ways to tackle oily skin. If you suffer from overactive sebum production, applying oil can reduce oil generation. When skin is properly hydrated, overactive sebaceous glands decrease activity and promote balanced skin. Eminence Organics International Trainer Brian Goodwin explains: “Our sebum also protects us from the elements and allergens, so increasing healthy oil application to the skin helps to protect us from these factors.” One of the best picks for balancing oil on the skin is jojoba oil. Healthline says: “Because jojoba oil is similar to our skin’s structure, it can replicate or dissolve oil, depending if your skin overproduces or underproduces.” 

In the same vein, our Charcoal & Black Seed Clarifying Oil is formulated to balance and manage excess sebum by harnessing the power of black seed oil. Sebum protects the skin but can also lead to congestion and shine. This powerful, fast-absorbing formula keeps oily skin looking balanced while maintaining pore clarity and reducing the look of occasional redness. 93% of customers agree that the Clarifying Oil restored moisture to skin with a less oily appearance.*

How To Add A Face Oil to Your Skin Care Routine

Adding a face oil to your routine is simple: Either mix a few drops in with your favorite moisturizer, or add it as an additional layer after you apply serum and before you moisturize. Boldijarre suggests: “Place three to four drops of oil into the palm of your hands and gently rub your hands together to warm the oil. ‘Gentle’ is the keyword here. Then, press the oil into the skin with your entire hand — this ‘pressing’ application allows the oil to absorb with the least amount of friction.”

Boldijarre emphasizes the importance of using a gentle touch, highlighting how to effectively apply the oil with minimal friction. Building on this approach, Nadira Kavanagh, our Product Support Team Lead, offers additional insights for using the Charcoal & Black Seed Clarifying Oil. She advises, “Warm a few drops of facial oil in your hands before applying it to the skin to encourage an even and smooth application. Gently massage the facial oil into your face and neck, applying more as needed with circular motions once or twice daily. Leave on. This oil can be followed with a moisturizer.” 

Pro tip: Ensure the correct amount of facial oil is dispensed to evenly address the desired area. Should the skin be evidently dry upon application, it’s likely the skin has absorbed some of the facial oil. For individuals that have drier skin at the time of application, we encourage mindfully applying more as needed, as this will keep the application of the facial oil both seamless and effortless.”
