Facial oils are such a luxurious treat for your skin, offering a smooth, deeply hydrated, and plump finish that’s hard to beat. But what makes them so effective? Let’s dive in!
Our facial skin can be quite sensitive. Introducing a new moisturiser or cleanser can sometimes cause reactions, and that’s before you factor in seasonal changes! Hot days, harsh winter winds, or even air conditioning can dry out our skin, leaving it desperate for moisture. This is where facial oils come to the rescue! They’re designed to add that extra level of protection by locking in moisture. Who doesn’t want that?
So how do they work? Imagine the oils and lipids in your skin as the glue that holds everything together, preventing moisture from escaping. Facial oils act as emollients, helping to strengthen this barrier, replenishing lost lipids, and keeping your skin resilient against environmental factors. For those with dry skin, this might be a year-round necessity, especially as our skin naturally gets drier with age.
Another reason to love facial oils is the glow factor! Dehydrated skin tends to look dull because the cells don’t organise themselves as smoothly, but facial oils can help restore that healthy, radiant look.
How to Incorporate Facial Oil into Your Routine
The best time to use facial oil is after applying your serum. If you’re using a serum like the Novage+ Wrinkle Smooth Serum, follow up with your oil for maximum hydration. If you don’t use a serum, apply the oil just before your night cream, like the Novage+ Anti-Ageing Night Cream, or your day cream, such as the Novage+ Day Cream SPF30.
