There’s a world of options when it comes to face oils, meaning there's something for every skin type: acne-prone, oily, and dry. Here, we have you covered - keep reading to hear about our faves and even find an oil for you!
Facial oils have gained an excellent reputation as the holy grail product for beautiful and glowing skin. Some people may still believe the old myth that “oil produces oil”, but the truth is, that antioxidant rich oils brimming with nutrients, vitamins and minerals, are actually fantastic for all skin types.
Rich facial oils are suitable for most skin types — yes, even if you have combination skin or oily skin and you're prone to acne — and incorporating them into your daily skin-care routine is one of the best things you can do for your complexion. In the short term, you can expect an off-the-charts level of glow. And with continued use? Healthy, plump, and happier skin.
If your skin is oily, the last thing you want to do is ditch the moisturizer, as this will cause your body to overproduce sebum as a way to compensate. An oil may be even better for you though, as highly concentrated active ingredients help to soothe and heal blemishes by fighting inflammation in the skin.
Of course facial oils are also your best friend if you are looking for an anti-aging product in a jar or bottle! The same active ingredients that soothe problem skin help to fight off free radicals that contribute to lines and wrinkles. Antioxidants like vitamin C also help to promote the formation of collagen ensuring your skin stays plump and ageless!
Keep reading to find out three of our favourite oils here at The Truth Beauty Company.
Coconut Oil
If you thought coconut oil was simply a trend then you thought wrong!
Did you know that this oil is considered the healthiest oil on the planet thanks to high levels of lauric acid, rarely found in nature? Who wouldn’t want to slather their skin in an oil like this?
Lauric acid has antifungal, antibacterial and antimicrobial properties, making it ideal for even the most acne-prone skin.
However!!! Coconut oil can be funny in the sense, that not everyone reacts the same way .... for some it may cause break outs - or dryness! Always do a test patch with this funny oil! But if your skin loves it, you are in for a treat, especially as this oil can do so much more than hydrate your skin! Think oil pulling (to whiten teeth), cuticle cream, hair mask, and even make-up remover!
Coconut oil also contains high amounts of fatty acids that help to fight free radicals and rejuvenate the skin, for a smooth and beautifully glowing complexion!
Rosehip Seed Oil
Extracted from the seeds of a specific variety of rose. This oil’s benefits are as luxurious as it’s origins.
Rosehip seed oil is fantastic for keeping the skin youthful thanks to high concentrations of antioxidants including Vitamin A and Vitamin E. Rosehip oil also promotes softer and smoother skin with its omega-6 fatty acids. These vitamins along with other nutrients and fatty acids help to rejuvenate, repair and improve overall skin texture for a difference you can see and feel.
Powerful photoaging protection makes this oil a favourite in reducing the damaging effects of the sun such as sunspots, lines and pigmentation.
You will find this magic oil, along with a few more beautiful oils and high quality ingredients in many of offerings: Beauty Oil By RMS, Apoterra Skincare
Rose Nourishing Facial Oil and Cocoon Apothecary Rosehip Oil Serum, to name but a few.
Flax Seed Oil
You may have always thought of flaxseeds as something you sprinkle on your oatmeal, but when the oil is applied to the skin, the results are remarkable!
Rich in fatty acids, B vitamins and Zinc, will help to remove all traces of your makeup, dirt and grime of the day, while providing your skin with the perfect balance of hydration. Use this on a regular basis and you will notice clearer, brighter and softer skin!
These are just 3 of our favourite oils, but the choices are endless. Take away is that oils can help replenish the lipid layer that may be stripped away to help moisturize the skin and a strong skin barrier will prevent water from escaping, therefore keeping the skin hydrated throughout the day or night.
