Face oils are a real must-have for natural beauty!

How to integrate them into your beauty routine ? How to make the most of their exceptional virtues? We tell you everything in this beauty file.

WHAT IS FACE OIL?


Face oil can be pure:it is then a vegetable oil derived from plants (fruits, seeds, pits, vegetables, flowers, etc.). It can also be formulated, it is then composed of several vegetable oils and/or essential oils . The specificity of the oil lies in the "actives" it contains, which are found in the plants from which it comes. These active ingredients mainly consist of vitamins A, E, D and K and essential fatty acids. Thanks to its concentration of active ingredients, it maintains skin hydration by restoring the hydrolipidic film. It protects, softens, softens and plumps all skin types. Rich in unsaturated fatty acids, it penetrates the epidermis well while preventing premature aging.


FACE OIL, FOR ALL SKIN TYPES?


It has no contraindications and is even recommended in the treatment of certain problems such as eczema or imperfections . Used in protective care or in serum , it is a real beauty treatment for all skin types. Contrary to popular belief, some oils such as black cumin oil or jojoba for example, are suitable for oily skin:if you give your skin the "good fat" it needs to protect itself, it will naturally stop producing excessive sebum.


REMINDER OF SKIN TYPES


Normal skin


The normal skin is a rare skin! Neither dry nor greasy, it does not feel tight, shows little or no redness, is soft and smooth to the touch and has tight pores. We then want to maintain the right balance of the hydrolipidic film of the skin, protect it from external aggressions, preserve its radiance.

Dry skin


Dry skin is most often fine and beautiful, with tight pores, but it is a source of discomfort and tightness. The stratum corneum of the skin may lack water, the hydrolipidic film may be damaged or too thin:it is therefore both dry and dehydrated. The skin fails to protect itself since it lacks lipids to maintain its hydration, it becomes tight and tends to desquamate (the skin peels frequently).


Combination skin


combination skin is the most common skin type. It is characterized by a Tgrasse zone (from the forehead to the chin) and by a dry or normal zone on the cheeks. Comfortable, combination skin is however prone to imperfections, uneven skin tone and excess sebum.


Oily skin


oily skin produces excess sebum. It is characterized by shine, thick and dull skin, dilated pores, the presence of imperfections. The skin can become oily for different reasons, including hormonal reasons, due to pollution, stress. Wrongly using too stripping cosmetics often results in dehydrated skin.

WHICH OILS TO PREFER?


For each type of skin, we will favor certain oils. For normal skin, the best vegetable oils are those of jojoba, apricot or rosehip. For dry skin, head for avocado, evening primrose, borage or argan oils. Finally, for combination to oily skin, we favor jojoba, neem, nigella or grapeseed oils.


ZOOM ON CLEANSING OILS


Contrary to popular belief, cleansing oil is suitable for all skin types, even oily skin. Indeed, impurities and make-up are fatty substances, and there is nothing better than "good fat" to remove fat! In addition, the cleansing oil is dissolved thanks to the cleanser and therefore does not leave a film on the skin. Ideal for gently removing make-up from the skin:just apply a few drops of make-up remover oil in the palm of your hand and then apply in circular massages all over the face. Our favorite cleansing oils? Skin &Tonic Cleansing Oil , combination of 4 vegetable oils (camellia, sunflower, sweet almond and jojoba) gently removes make-up and even waterproof make-up. For a healthy glow and a delicate fragrance, we love Cîme Purity Recipe Cleansing Oil and its cold-pressed vegetable oils.
