Why Face Oil is Critical for your Overall Skincare Routine


The importance of using a facial oil 

 Facial oils are the latest trend in the beauty world, and women have taken to it in a big way. But do they stand up to all the hype being generated? Without being dramatic, it can be said that the right facial oil could actually be the most life-changing beauty care product you have. Look at Sophia Loren at 84. Her drop-dead looks are attributed to bathing in olive oil while Megan Fox’s dewy complexion is said to be the end result of using grapeseed oil.

What does good facial oil do? It protects the skin from future moisture loss and also tops-up the skin’s natural moisture levels. Hydration is the key to youthful and smooth complexion, and facial oil holds the key to it. And it is not only dry skin that benefits from facial oils, it is possible to have both dehydrated and oily skin simultaneously, and hence facial oil can make a significant difference in all cases. The secret is to know which facial oil is right for you and how you should blend it into your everyday skincare routine. 

Facial oil for foundation
Winter brings along its unique problems. Outside, your skin is hit by freezing winds and once you move inside, you are enveloped by stale and dry heated air. Your skin becomes dry, dull and develops oily patches since it loses moisture, leading to a cakey-looking foundation. To ensure that the skin is moisturized at all times, mix a few drops of facial oil to the foundation just before application. Not only will it increase the quality of the foundation many times over, top-of-the-line facial oil for foundation also protects the skin below from the severity of winter. 
There are many advantages of using facial oil for foundation. Serums such as argan oil have natural antioxidants, hydrators and anti-inflammatory ingredients that change the texture of the foundation, resulting in a more dewy and natural look. Further, adding oil to foundation leads to less usage of the product. You will also find it a lot easier to blend the foundation into your natural look. However, if you prefer a matte look, pat the foundation over with a translucent powder. 

Do not overdo the facial oil part when you mix with foundation. Facial oils have a highly concentrated form of nutrients. Just a few drops of oil are enough to cover your whole face and provide all that your skin needs.
