Why adopt a facial oil and how to choose it?

Pour prendre soin de sa peau, on pense en premier lieu à appliquer religieusement sa crème hydratante préférée. Mais, il n’y a pas qu’elle ! Les huiles visage sont une galénique formidable pour diffuser des actifs. Découvrez dans ce dossier toutes les raisons qui font de lhuile pour le visage un incontournable !

Why is oil the essential facial care product?

As the skin's protective barrier is often altered by internal factors (stress, medication) or external aggressions (cold, pollution), facial oil acts as a protective veil. When the skin is put to the test, the intercellular cement that ensures good cohesion between the cells becomes fragile. The lipids naturally produced by our skin can lose quality and density. Facial oil then comes in as a reinforcement and plays the role of a crutch to regenerate and nourish the skin.

Applying a vegetable oil on the face also allows to put on the skin a real anti-dehydration shield. Indeed, its formula allows to supplement the skin in fatty substance (perfect in the case of a dry skin), but it is also a super asset to treat a dehydrated skin, because the very fine layer of oil applied will act as a shield, by preventing the water from evaporating. If you leave a glass of water in the middle of the desert, you'll see that it won't take long for it to be completely dry. Cover it with a thin layer offace oil and you will see that the water will no longer be able to evaporate... It's the same thing for your skin!

How to choose your facial oil?

Distinguish between vegetable oils and mineral oils.

Vegetable oils are derived from plants: seeds, fruits, vegetables... Natural ingredients, they can be certified organic. Having a great affinity with the skin (they look like it!), they penetrate and each one, according to its origin, will have a specific action.

Mineral oils are derived from petrochemicals and are therefore not natural ingredients. They remain on the surface of the skin and, unable to penetrate, they form a protective film on the epidermis. Acting as an insulator, they can relieve dry skin thanks to their "bandage" function.

However, the combination skinHowever, combination skin, oily skin or skin prone to problems will prefer not to use it, as the film-forming effect can clog pores and stimulate the appearance of small pimples.

Vegetable oils, on the other hand, are very naturally rich in good active ingredients: like essential fatty acids (also known as Omega 3, 6, 9) and vitamins. In short, they are a real treat for the skin!

You should choose your vegetable oil according to your problem. To be sure of your choice, a skin diagnosis will allow you to assess your skin priorities.
