When it comes to facial hydration, there’s nothing hotter than facial oils. When formulated for skin care, these magical liquids work extremely hard to add moisture to your skin and deliver nutrients. Here are some ways facial oils benefit your skin and help you achieve a glowing and hydrated face.
The benefits of facial oils
1. Moisturizing effects
Oils are the richest products, high in beneficial, antioxidant-rich lipids that restore the skin’s barrier and seal in moisture. Because oils are lipophilic (or “lipophilic”) elements, they pass through the skin’s lipid layer more quickly, trapping water and moisture and leading to superior hydration. Eminence Organic Skin Care President Boldijarre Koronczay says: “These high-quality face oils are perfectly absorbed into the skin, leaving it hydrated and supple. Because the sizes of the oil molecules are similar to our molecular makeup, our body easily recognizes the product and absorbs the oil immediately.” These oils also repair and protect the skin’s lipid barrier, not only retaining moisture but also helping to defend the skin against environmental stressors.
2. Packed with nutrients
According Well + Good, “Oils are your best bet for maintaining healthy skin tone, moisture and elasticity.” These miracle workers are a fantastic source of nutritious vitamins (A, D, E and K), antioxidants and fatty acids. Together, these nutrients protect the skin from water loss, keep it hydrated and improve the appearance of skin problems such as redness due to dryness and loss of elasticity. Experience the purest form of these nutrients in our Facial Repair Oil. This luxurious facial oil combines polyphenol-rich olive oil and vitamin E-enriched sesame oil to deliver essential hydration and nutrients to the skin.
3. Balancing sebum production
Contrary to popular belief, Oil is one of the best ways to deal with oily skin. If you suffer from overactive sebum production, applying oil can reduce oil production. When skin is properly hydrated, overactive sebaceous glands reduce activity and promote skin balance. Eminence Organics International Trainer Brian Goodwin she explains, “Our sebum also protects us from the elements and allergens, so increasing the application of healthy oil to our skin helps protect us from these factors.” One of the best options for balancing oil on the skin is jojoba oil. Healthline says, “Because jojoba oil is similar in structure to our skin, it can reproduce or dissolve the oil, depending on whether your skin is overproduced or underproduced.”
In the same vein, the Charcoal Black Seed Cleansing Oil is designed 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 balanced while maintaining pore clarity and reducing the appearance of occasional redness. 93% of customers agree that the Clarifying Oil restored moisture to skin with a less oily appearance.*

How to add a facial oil to your skin care routine
Adding a face oil to your routine is simple: Either mix a few drops with your favorite moisturizer or add as an extra layer after applying the serum and before moisturizing. Boldijarre suggests, “Put three to four drops of the oil in the palm of your hands and gently rub your hands together to warm the oil. ‘Gentle’ is the key word here. Then press the oil into the skin with the entire your hand – it The ‘squeeze’ application allows the oil to be absorbed with the least amount of friction’.
Boldijarre stresses the importance of using a gentle touch, emphasizing how to effectively apply the oil with minimal friction. Based on this approach, Nadira Kavanagh, our Product Support Team Lead, offers additional information on using Charcoal and Black Seed Cleansing Oil. She advises: “Warm a few drops of face oil in your hands before applying to the skin to encourage an even and smooth application. Gently massage the face oil into your face and neck, spreading as much as needed in a circular motion once or twice a day. . Leave it on. This oil can be followed with a moisturizer.”
Pro tip: Make sure the right amount of facial oil is distributed to evenly treat the desired area. If the skin is visibly dry upon application, it is possible that the skin has absorbed some of the facial oil. For people who have drier skin at the time of application, we encourage gentle application as needed, as this will keep the application of the face oil smooth and effortless.”
