ASK DR. RENÉE: WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF FACIAL OIL?
Share

Curious about face oils? Dr. Renée’s got the scoop on our new Squalane Facial Oil for your best skin ever.

– KEYS SOULCARE

Skincare history is full of twists and turns, and one of the most intriguing shifts is the evolving relationship between skin experts and face oils. Once upon a time, skincare pros raved about oil-free routines, avoiding anything that resembled that dreaded “shine.” But today, it’s a whole new ballgame. Face oils are now celebrated as skincare game-changers, and our Deeply Replenishing Squalane Facial Oil is leading the way.

Dr. Renée, the brilliant dermatologist behind this groundbreaking product offering, is here to answer your questions about facial oils and share what makes our Deeply Replenishing Squalane Facial Oil special. As we delve into the transformative power of this remarkable blend of antioxidant- and vitamin-rich oils and embrace the life-changing “I am good to myself” affirmation, we’ll discover the essence of self-love and a celebration of your inherent worth. With a vegan and cruelty-free formula, our squalane-rich facial oil is your partner in unlocking your inner radiance, helping you glow like never before.

CAN FACE OILS CLOG PORES OR CAUSE BREAKOUTS?

While it might seem counterintuitive to use face oils on acne-prone skin, specific oils can actually offer benefits for this skin type. When choosing a face oil for acne-prone skin, it’s crucial to opt for non-comedogenic oils that won’t clog pores. An excellent choice is squalane oil, which is used in our Deeply Replenishing facial oil offering. Non-comedogenic oils are well-tolerated by most skin types. You can effectively moisturize and balance the skin without clogging pores.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF USING FACE OILS IN A SKINCARE ROUTINE, AND WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM THEM THE MOST?

Incorporating a face oil into your skincare routine can bring numerous benefits tailored to your skin type and the specific oil you choose. The primary advantage is moisturization. Face oils help lock in moisture, making them especially advantageous for individuals with dry skin. Beyond moisturization, oils can offer nourishment, especially when enriched with vitamins, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids. The inclusion of antioxidants like Vitamin C and E can contribute to a more youthful appearance.

ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS OR RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH USING FACE OILS?

It’s important to remember that everyone’s skin is unique. What works for your best friend may not work for you. Always check your ingredients list. Another good idea is to patch test. Dab some of your face oil on your wrist before using it all over your face to ensure you don’t have an adverse reaction.

WHY WAS IT DEVELOPED FOR NIGHTTIME USE?

Choosing to use a skin oil at night or during the day is totally up to you — it’s all about personal preference. But when it comes to caring for your whole self, especially in a soul-soothing way, having a bedtime ritual is essential. Nighttime is dedicated to renewal and this facial oil, designed to instill calm, plays a pivotal role in preparing your skin for a restful sleep and ensuring brighter mornings ahead.

HOW SHOULD FACE OILS BE USED WITH OTHER SKINCARE PRODUCTS LIKE SERUMS AND MOISTURIZERS?

When using a serum to address specific concerns, such as vitamin C for brightening or hyaluronic acid for hydration, it’s best to apply the serum before the Facial Oil. Lightweight serums help serve as an initial layer of skincare before heavier products like creams or oils. If you’re not applying a serum, you can apply the facial oil on clean and dry skin before moisturizing, or even mix a few drops of facial oil with your current moisturizer. Simply blend them in your palm before applying to your face.

If you incorporate an oil into your morning routine, it’s essential to make broad-spectrum sunscreen the final step.
