When it comes to skincare, we’ve been conditioned to believe that oil is the enemy—leading to breakouts, clogged pores, and unwanted shine. (My aunt even went so far as to put rubbing alcohol on her face to cut the oil. 😬)
However, the truth is quite the opposite. Oil-based skincare products can be game-changers, providing deep nourishment, hydration, and a natural glow that water-based alternatives often can’t match.
Whether you have dry, oily, or combination skin, incorporating the right oils into your routine can enhance your skin’s health and appearance.
I’m telling you, oil-based products (like SKINxErin) are a MUST in your daily skincare regimen.
Here are 5 reasons to add an oil into your skincare routine...
Facial oils offer significantly more results compared to face creams because they penetrate the skin more effectively and deliver more concentrated benefits due to their lack of water content.
Facial oils are masters at retaining moisture (and preventing it from evaporating from the skin’s surface). As we age, lipid renewal slows, and UV rays and pollution damage the skin. Because face oils are composed of fatty acids, they easily penetrate the lipid layer, locking in moisture and providing anti-inflammatory effects.
Facial oils deliver essential nutrients. Unlike traditional moisturizers, oils are rich in vitamins, antioxidants, and fatty acids that truly nourish the skin. They are especially effective at delivering fat-soluble vitamins such as A, D, E, and K which help reduce the appearance of wrinkles, firm the skin, promote collagen production, and overall skin renewal.
Facial oils strengthen and protect the skin barrier. They keep hydration in and provide a kind of “protective shield”.
One of the instant benefits of face oils is their ability to enhance skin’s natural glow. Facial oils fill the gaps between skin cells, creating a smooth surface and giving the skin a radiant glow.
Now that you’re up to speed on benefits of oil-based skincare, the next step is making it part of your routine. That’s where we come in…
Here’s how you can easily incorporate these oils into your routine for glowing, healthy skin.
Use SKINxErin Pre-Cleanse as the first step in your evening routine! Melts even waterproof make-up off without tugging, won’t dry out your skin, and it feels amazing.
As the last step in your AM routine, press 2 drops of Hydrating Beauty Oil into the skin to lock in hydration and prep the skin for make-up.
In the evening, mix 2 drops of Hydrating Beauty Oil + 2 drops of Perfecting Night Oil with the night cream of your choice for an intensely hydrating experience(perfect for winter time!)
