What Are Face Oils?

Face oils, also known as facial oils, are products made with natural oils and botanicals that hydrate and nourish the skin by sealing in moisture. Usually, face oils contain ingredients like argan oil, jojoba oil, rosehip oil, or coconut oil that are rich in essential fatty acids, vitamins, and antioxidants.

Face oils work by creating an occlusive layer on the outermost layer of your skin, which locks in the natural moisture and essential nutrients. That's why you usually apply facial oil at the end of your skincare routine.

Benefits of Face Oils

Face oils can be used on oily skin, mature skin, combination skin, sensitive skin, acne-prone skin, or dry skin. In fact, almost anyone and everyone can use a facial oil in their daily routine!

  • Promotes collagen production

Whether you're trying to improve your skin barrier or promote skin hydration without a greasy residue, facial oils are here to save the day. Let's go over where they fit into your skincare routine.

When to Use a Face Oil in Your Skincare Routine

Face oil should be the final step in your skincare routine. It comes after your moisturizer, night cream, or eye cream.

This can feel counterintuitive, as, typically, routines go in order of the lightest product to the heaviest. Layering products in this way is what allows for maximum hydration and benefits (and no pilling!) However, your facial oil should always come last, as this is what seals in the nourishment and moisture from the rest of your products.

Here are some other tips and tricks to keep in mind when applying your face oil:

  • Wait two to three minutes after applying your moisturizer before applying your facial oil.
  • Press the product into your skin rather than rubbing it.
  • Two to three drops of facial oil are enough - a little bit goes a long way!
  • Take your skin concerns and skin type into consideration when curating your skincare routine.

People Also Ask

Do You Put Face Oil on Before or After Moisturizer?

The exact order and methodology of your skincare routine can often boil down to personal preference. However, it's usually recommended to put on a face oil after your moisturizer in order to seal in the hydration.

Do You Wash Off Face Oil?

It's important not to confuse face oils with cleansing oils! Cleansing oils should be washed off, since they are used to cleanse the face. But face oils should not be washed off since they are used to hydrate and nourish the skin.

Do You Apply Face Oil to Wet or Dry Skin?

Your face should not be wet to apply face oil, but it should be slightly damp or moist. It's better to apply face oil on dry skin than wet skin.
