A FRESH UPDATE
Everything from laughing to crying, to sleeping, to going outside can contribute to fine lines.
Fine lines are inevitable, they really are. All we can do is slow their development way down, and there’s actually a lot we can do for that!
I’m going to dive deeper into that over the next few weeks, but for now, here’s how just adding a couple drops of Perfecting Night Oil into your skincare routine can:
✅Reduce the appearance of the fine lines you already have
✅Help you slow the development of more.
It increases elasticity. A 2015 study found that after just 60 days of everyday application, argan oil improved the skin’s appearance of elasticity and firmness. “The application of argan oil led to a significant increase of gross-elasticity of the skin”.
It is a powerful antioxidant that fights against free-radicals. High levels of vitamin E help combat free radicals, protect the skin from environmental damage, and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
It contains high levels of fatty acids such as linoleic acid and oleic acid, that help keep the skin moisturized and soft. Well-hydrated skin is less prone to developing wrinkles and fine lines.
It keeps the skin hydrated and plump, which can make fine lines appear less noticeable.
Regular use leads to smoother skin, as it helps to improve the overall texture and appearance of the skin.
No BS—Perfecting Night Oil delivers. Get yours now and wake up to smoother, firmer, glowier skin.
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…
If you’ve never used an oil based skincare line before there could only be 4 possible reasons why. Either…
#1:
You’re afraid it will break you out or make your skin greasy.
#2:
You don’t see the need or benefit of putting oil on your skin.
#3:
You tried a skincare oil once and it did you dirty.
#4:
You feel too overwhelmed by all the options out there.
Let's start with #3...
If this is you, I’m sorry. That’s a drag.
Just guessing, but I bet it was an oil blend 🙄. Most brands sell blends… I hate blends.
Most brands think you, the consumer, want to be wow’d by all the different ingredients they can put in one bottle, and to some degree that’s true. Who doesn’t like to be wow’d?!
But you know what’s the biggest WOW?
A product that actually does what it says it’s going to do.
Here’s what’s important to understand about oils… Oils come in all different textures and viscosities. Sandy, smooth, thick, thin, wet, dry, etc.. and as with every skincare ingredient, they also come in varying degrees of comedogenicity (how likely an ingredient is to clog pores).
All that to say, the odds of an oil blend containing comedogenic oils (pore clogging) are high, as are the odds of a blend sitting on top of your skin instead of absorbing into it.
If you decide to give skincare oils another shot, and I hope you do, try a single ingredient non-comedogenic dry oil like Hydrating Beauty Oil.
If you fall into category 2 and just don’t get what the fuss is about, here’s a quick run down…
✅Plant oils are proven to repair the skin barrier.
✅They’re also proven to protect the skin barrier.
✅They are deeply hydrating (can penetrate deeper than lotions or creams)
✅Non-comedogenic oils actually regulate oil production, making skin more balanced, not greasy.
✅They reduce inflammation
✅They repair crepey skin
✅They reduce redness
✅They give skin a healthy glow
✅They’ll heal a sunburn in no time
And they feel amazing.
If you fall into category 1..
I totally get it. I struggled with acne most of my life.
Even though I was uncharacteristically optimistic when trying my first skincare oil, I was also NERVOUS. I thought it was too good to be true and waited with bated breath for the biggest breakout of my life… but instead I said goodbye to breakouts for good.
Here’s what I wish I would have known…
1️⃣ Select oils are non-comedogenic, meaning they will not clog your pores.. At SKINxErin, our oils are 0 on the comedogenic scale.
2️⃣ OIL BREAKS DOWN OIL. Using a non-comedogenic facial oil actually helps to unclog pores by breaking down excess sebum, and helps to regulate oil production, making skin less oily.
3️⃣ Oil feels realllllllly good on acne prone skin. Acne prone skin can hurt sometimes, kinda feels like a perpetual sunburn. So it’s nice when you find a product that feels amazing to put on, and one that really soothes the skin.
#4... Here’s what I’ll say about feeling overwhelmed..
Keep it simple, and the new shiny object is NEVER it, I promise.
Over-consumption isn’t good for your brain, or your skin.
No one ever looked back and said “ya know, skinny jeans were really my best look”.
501’s on the other hand?? Songs were written about women in those jeans, and they’re even more popular now then when they debuted.
The same is true of skincare.
If you’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting a 70+ year old woman who’s skin looks fantastic, you know she wasn’t using 11 steps and 85 serums.
She was kind to her skin, took care of it. Kept it clean, kept it hydrated, and more often than not.. she used a facial oil. (More on keeping it simple -> HERE.)
