If you have ever considered using a face oil, then you might have also wondered if they are greasy on skin, as this might be off putting.

Our face oil is 100% natural and filled with a gorgeous blend of rejuvenating plant oils, but they are carefully picked to not be too rich for our skin. Within the plant oil category there is so much diversity and many of them are not greasy. Having said this, plant oils by their very nature will have some degree of oiliness, and this is what gives them their intense nourishment, and superb application gliding ability for our skin. If you are unsure about using a face oil because they might be too oily for you, then you might be surprised.

Do Face Oils Make Skin Greasy?

There are lots of misconceptions about face oils, with many people believing that they will make their skin greasy. However, this is not the case. Face oils are actually greatly beneficial for the skin and can help to keep it hydrated and nourished.

The main reason good face oils are not greasy is because they are made with high quality oils that are quickly absorbed by the skin. This means that they will not leave behind a greasy residue but will instead provide your skin with many of the nutrients it needs. Face oils should have a rich but light texture, so they will not weigh down your skin or clog your pores. As long as they are made with the best skin loving plant oils then they will not cause greasiness.

If you are concerned about face oils making your skin greasy, then try using our Natural Anti-Ageing Face Oil that is made with beautiful plant ingredients like jojoba oil, argan oil and baobab oil. These are all highly nutritious oils but never comedogenic or pore clogging. Not only is it non-greasy but it actually helps to balance out the natural oils in your skin, which can help to reduce shine and improve the overall complexion. This is why face oils work for all skin types, from very dry to oil congested types. Face oils are also great for hydrating the skin and helping to protect against environmental damage.

If you are new to using a face oil, then the key to ensuring that there is no greasy residue left on skin is to only apply a small amount. Face oils are a treatment product, and only a small amount is needed. Especially if they are being layered with other face products, such as serums and moisturisers. There is no one-size-fits-all answer to the amount of face oil to apply to your skin, as the amount of face oil you use will vary depending on your skin type and the specific product you are using. However, as a general rule of thumb, you should start with a small amount (about 1-2 drops) and increase as needed. Massage or pat all over the face and neck and if you find that your skin is still feeling dry or tight after applying face oil, then you may need to increase the amount you are using. Experiment until you find the perfect balance for your skin. Face oils can be applied in both the morning and evening, after serum and before a face cream. The right amount of face oil will give skin a beautiful lit from within hydrated glow. Once you discover face oils, they can be quite addictive as they leave skin looking so lovely.

It is such a common misconception about face oils is that they leave your skin greasy. However, when used correctly and chosen according to your skin type, face oils can actually balance your skin's natural oil production and provide much-needed hydration. High-quality face oils are designed to absorb quickly into the skin, delivering nutrients without leaving a heavy or greasy residue. For those with oily skin, lightweight oils like ours with jojoba or grapeseed in them can help regulate sebum production, while the other oils like argan and baobab are also fine for oilier skin types. The key is to apply the right amount and integrate it into a well-rounded skincare routine. 

There are many different types of face oils available on the market today, each with their own unique benefits and properties. Some may be designed specifically for anti-ageing, while others might focus on improving skin texture or reducing redness. It's important to do your research and choose an oil that aligns with your specific skincare needs. Our Revitalising Face Oil is designed to help with multiple concerns, and is a one-stop shop face oil.

In addition to providing hydration and nourishment to the skin, face oils can also act as a protective barrier against environmental stressors such as pollution and harsh weather conditions. This can help prevent premature ageing and keep your skin looking healthy and radiant.

Another benefit of using face oils is that they can be easily incorporated into any skincare routine. They can even be mixed with your favourite serum or cream, although we recommend using them as a stand alone product after cleansing, or a serum if you use one, and before moisturising. And because it is so concentrated, a little goes a long way, making them a cost-effective addition to your beauty regimen.

When choosing a face oil, it's important to pay attention to the ingredients and opt for high-quality oils that are free from harmful chemicals and additives. Look for natural ones like ours which is minimally processed to retain the natural nutrients.

Face oils may seem intimidating at first due to the misconception of greasiness, but when used correctly they can provide numerous benefits for all skin types.
