How to Achieve a Winter Glow Using Face Oils

If winter has your skin feeling dry and dull, face oils can help restore that coveted glow. Perfect for anyone seeking hydration and radiance during the chilly months.

Why this worksFace oils contain lipids that mimic your skin's natural oils, providing an extra layer of moisture and preventing transepidermal water loss. They also help to lock in hydration from other products and can improve skin barrier function. During winter, when the air is dry and cold, face oils are your skin's best defence against dehydration.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Choose the Right Oil Look for oils that suit your skin type. Jojoba oil is great for oily skin, while argan oil is perfect for dry skin. Always opt for cold-pressed, high-quality oils for the best results.
  2. Cleanse Your Face Start with a gentle cleanser to remove any impurities and prepare your skin for maximum absorption. Pat your face dry with a clean towel, leaving it slightly damp for better oil absorption.
  3. Apply the Oil Using clean hands, dispense a few drops of your chosen face oil into your palms. Gently press the oil onto your skin, starting from the centre of your face and working outwards. This technique promotes better absorption and even distribution.
  4. Seal It In For added hydration, follow up with a moisturiser. This helps to lock in the oil and further hydrate your skin. Remember, oils should be applied before your moisturiser for optimal layering.

Where people go wrong

Many people skip the patch test, which can lead to irritation from new oils. Also, applying oil on dry skin instead of damp skin can hinder absorption. Lastly, using too much oil can leave your skin feeling greasy rather than hydrated.

The pro moveMix a few drops of face oil into your moisturiser for an extra hydrating boost without altering your routine too much.
