Know Your Oils

Almost everyone has their favourite moisturiser that they use daily (if you don’t, you definitely should incorporate a moisturiser into your routine!), however, not many have picked up the habit of using oils fearing that it may clog skin and cause outbreaks or feel heavy. OM’s Certified Organic Oils are not only not ‘oily’, they are dry oils that nourish, heal, balance and soothe the skin. Today, we will take you though the basics of facial and body oils.

 

Oils vs Moisturisers

The skin produces natural oil to balance and protect itself. An overproduction of oil, which causes oily skin, could be caused by dehydrated skin. The main function of skin oils is to protect the lipid layer to prevent essential moisture from evaporating from the skin. Many people fear that by using facial oils, pores will become clogged leading to acne and blemishes. OM’s facial oil is specially formulated for the face and is non-comedogenic. In fact, by incorporating a facial oil, you ‘trick’ your skin into thinking that there is already sufficient oil and your skin will in turn begin producing less oil.

Would you still require a moisturiser if you were using an oil? The simple answer is – Yes. A moisturiser and a suitable facial oil works hand in hand to provide moisture and protection to the skin. Using a combination of both locks in moisture while repairing the skin, in fact, you may mix a few drops of facial oil with your favourite moisturiser before massaging it into your face.

 

Dry Oils

A dry oil isn’t ‘dry’ in the literal sense of the word, this refers to lightweight oils that are quickly absorbed by the skin without leaving a greasy after feel. OM has a fantastic range of certified organic Body Oils that absorb and nourish the skin while leaving a heavenly divine scent. If your skin is particularly dry, you may want to use the OM Lavender Body Milk before applying one of OM’s Body Oil over the Milk for an extra hydrating boost.

 

Should I be using Oils?

The short answer is – yes! Everyone should incorporate oils into their face and body care routine. OM also has a range of essential oils which can be used to purify and refreshen the air or as a prep to an indulgent at-home bath or spa session.
