Embrace the Glow: Why Face Oils Are Your Skin's New Best Friend
Adding a face oil to your skincare routine can feel intimidating—especially after years of hearing that oil is the enemy. But guess what? Oil is actually amazing! In fact, the ancient Egyptians, including the legendary Cleopatra, swore by oils to combat sun and sand damage, proving that face oils have stood the test of time.
Face oils act as emollients, leaving your skin feeling softer, smoother, and deeply nourished. They’re packed with fatty acids that help repair your skin’s lipid barrier, which is crucial for maintaining moisture. And the best part? Face oils can help regulate your skin’s natural oil production, making them a great option for all skin types—yes, even if you have oily or acne-prone skin! If you live in a dry, cold climate, face oils could be the boost your skin needs to lock in hydration and keep it feeling healthy and balanced.
Here Are Some of Our Favorite Face Oils:
1. Healing Facial Oil
This nourishing blend starts with grapeseed oil, a fantastic option for sensitive or acne-prone skin because it’s non-comedogenic (won’t clog pores). Grapeseed oil is also rich in vitamin E, which is known for its ability to lock moisture into the skin and soften its outer layers. The fatty acids in grapeseed oil help fortify the skin barrier, while turmeric oil adds a calming touch, soothing irritation and brightening your complexion. For a final touch, Blue Tansy Oil—famous for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-bacterial properties—helps to heal and hydrate the skin, leaving you with a balanced and glowing appearance.
2. Looking Sharp Facial Oil
Looking Sharp is a powerhouse blend of nine nutrient-rich oils, including Prickly Pear Oil, which is packed with antioxidants and more vitamin E than any other oil (150% more than Argan Oil!). This oil helps keep your skin soft and hydrated while preventing wrinkles, brightening dark spots, and tightening pores. Watermelon Oil helps reduce puffiness and under-eye baggage, making it ideal for tired eyes. Evening Primrose Oil, rich in gamma-linoleic acid, promotes skin elasticity, stimulates cell turnover, and seals in moisture. Moringa Oil—known for its powerful antioxidants—works to fight free radicals and reverse past skin damage. This oil is also rich in vitamin K, which brightens dark spots and helps keep acne at bay. With its delicate essential oil scent and lightweight formula, Looking Sharp absorbs quickly without leaving any greasy residue.
3. Jojoba Oil
Jojoba oil is an excellent choice for ultra-sensitive skin. Organic and non-comedogenic, it’s remarkably close to the natural sebum your skin produces, making it a perfect match for soft, baby-smooth skin. High in vitamin E, jojoba oil helps keep your skin hydrated and improves elasticity. It’s lightweight but penetrates deeply, leaving your skin with a beautiful, healthy glow. Jojoba oil is particularly great for those with psoriasis or eczema, soothing irritated skin and promoting balance.
