5 Reasons You Should Incorporate Face Oil into Your Routine

Face Oils for Skin

Face oils are an effective skincare product that you can work into your routine, for facial massage, hydration, and overall skincare benefits. It can take some time to find the right oil for your skincare routine, but once you find it you’ll see that in most good skincare regimens, there is also a face oil. 

You can find a number of types of oils out there such as jojoba, grape seed, squalane, and dedicated oils like the Algae Bioactive face oil by Blue Lagoon; these unique oils are sustainably produced in Iceland, using the finest ingredients and can be purchased directly from their website: https://skincare.bluelagoon.com/us/.

Here are just some of the reasons why you should incorporate face oil into your routine.

Reasons You Should Incorporate a Face Oil into Your Routine

1. They Protect Your Skin Barrier

Oils work as emollients to help protect and strengthen the skin barrier, providing a strong line of defense. If you are trying to recover from stripping your skin barrier or just make sure you give it a boost and protect it, face oil can be the perfect product to help benefit your skin barrier.

2. They Calm Irritation

When your skin is irritated sometimes it needs that 1 product that has multiple benefits and nothing else. Irritated skin is often soothed by just one versus many products, and for that one product, you want to deliver something that can target different needs with the focus being on soothing the skin. Oils are great for calming irritation and they also feel great on the skin.

3. They are Great for Preventing Aging

A common cause for aging effects on the skin is free radicals causing damage to the skin. Face oils help prevent aging by neutralizing these free radicals and plumping the skin to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

4. They Can Really Make a Difference in Skin Hydration

If you notice that your skin needs a boost in hydration, face oil can help give it the hydration it needs based on whether you have dry or oily skin. If you have dry skin, for example, argan, grapeseed, and rosehip are the types of oils recommended. If you have oily skin, jojoba, squalane, and marula oil are recommended. And if you have combination skin, the recommended oils are grapeseed, jojoba, and marula oil.  

5. They Can Help Fight Acne

There are many oils that are known for being effective in fighting acne, such as tea tree, squalane, and evening primrose oil. With anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties, the addition of acne-fighting face oil into your skincare routine can be just what you need to give your skin enough hydration while also delivering these acne benefits.
