What's the best face oil?

The best face oil is the one that suits your skin type or skin concerns. Oh My Cream offers you a few tips to help you get to know your skin better, and the rightface oil that's right for it.

Facial oil or serum?

#seo : face oil

A serum is applied after your cleanser and lotion, but before your moisturizer. They come in a range of textures, from fluids to gels, and are traditionally water-based, making them lighter and able to penetrate the skin's surface - unlike oil-based creams and lotions, which remain on the skin's surface. They generally contain concentrated quantities of active ingredients and are designed to meet the skin's specific needs, which can range from radiance to hydration and sebum control.

Finally, serums are water-based and can be used as a complement to oils... or moisturizers!

As its name suggests,facial oil is a blend of plant oils that act as emollients, sealing in moisture to the skin. Their other properties then differ, depending on the type of plant oils that go to make up the treatment oil. For example, jojoba oil has a regulating effect, while avocado oil is highly nourishing, making it ideal for dry skin. In terms of use, we recommend applying it in the evening, alone or with a serum. It can also be used in the morning, but in this case, it should be reserved for normal to dry, chronically dehydrated skin, and rather at the end of the routine, to obtain a "shield" effect. 

Which oil is best for the skin?

  • If you have dehydrated skin, choose a skincare oil based on avocado or coconut oil, which have strong nourishing properties, such as thePlumping Oil Oh My Cream Skincare, a creamy oil that smoothes the skin's surface and protects thanks to a cocktail of antioxidant active ingredients.
  • If your skin is sensitive and prone to blemishes and blackheads, opt instead for theCorrective Oil Oh My Cream Skincare. This fine, detoxifying oil brightens and evens the complexion, while reducing the appearance of imperfections.
  • Do you tend to have shiny skin and dilated pores? The Facial Balancing Elixir Pure Jojoba Oil is just what you need! It rebalances combination to oily skin to better control shine. The complexion is more even, skin feels comfortable and pores are tightened. 
  • Looking for more radiance?BioRegenerate Wild Rose Oil Pai Skincare 's regenerating BioRegenerate Oil helps heal, repair damaged skin and correct uneven skin tone.

What's the best vegetable oil for mature skin?

Although we can't stop time, we can do what we can to limit skin aging. All skin is, or will one day be, subject to wrinkles and a progressive loss of firmness and tone. So, as soon as the first signs of aging appear, adopt Phoenix Facial Oil. Phoenix Facial Oil Huile Visage Anti-Aging Herbivore, a precious blend ofplant-based facial oils and CoQ10 to nourish and regenerate skin, leaving it soft and radiant. If wrinkles have set in, opt for The Face Oil Augustinus Baderanti-aging facial oil .

What's the best oil for moisturizing the skin?

Skin type and moisture level determine the frequency offacial oil application.

  • In the case of dry skin, the hydrolipidic film that protects the skin is weakened and does not fulfill its protective role properly. Use a moisturizing face oil such as Divine Face Oil Antipodes. A skincare oil with many virtues: nourishing, anti-aging and balancing, capable of correcting marks, blemishes and fine lines.
  • Normal skin is the skin we all dream of: balanced, neither too oily nor too dry, with a smooth, even texture and a uniform complexion - in short, the ultimate goal! To preserve the balance of normal skin, the ideal is to use a gentle almond oil . Recommended frequency of use is 2-3 times a week. 
  • For combination to oily skin to regain a healthy appearance, the skin's water/oil ratio must be rebalanced. This means nourishing and moisturizing the skin, and avoiding abrasive products. Try Lapis Facial Oil Anti-Imperfections Herbivore, a facial oil with blue chamomile that decongests pores while smoothing and softening the skin, restoring balance and hydration. Contrary to popular belief, oily skin needs to be nourished and moisturized. 

Now you know all you need to know on the subject! One last tip for the road... Don't forget to extend your serums and oils to your décolleté, an area where the (very fine) skin can also be subject to the same problems ;-)
