How Face Oils Help Sensitive Skin

If you have sensitive skin then you might be in despair at how to improve and manage it. Sensitive skin can have a huge variation in symptoms and might be dry, red, itchy, irritated or have a reduced tolerance to skincare products. However, there is one skincare product that can be hugely beneficial to sensitive skin, and this is a natural face oil. A good face oil like our Revitalising Face Oil is made with sensitive skin in mind, as all our face products are. The kind and natural formula has many regenerating properties for skin and this includes helping to heal the skin barrier, which is really important for sensitive skin.

How Face Oils Help Sensitive Skin

The truth is that conventional synthetic skincare can contain a whole host of ingredients that can aggravate sensitive skin. This is why Nakin always recommend natural skincare such as ours which is made with sensitive skin in mind, and there is one face product that we especially recommend. This is our 100% natural Nakin Revitalising Oil which is made with intensely caring and nurturing plant ingredients, that fill skin with moisture and nourishment and can transform even the most sensitive skin. This is because plant oils have lots of anti-inflammatory and emollient properties which soften and calm skin, they also seep into the skin cells filing them with nourishment and hydration that relieves dryness, flaky and itchy skin.

At Nakin we formulated our natural anti-ageing face oil to help to improve skin on the face and neck in so many ways, and this includes calming and soothing sensitive skin. Our skin tends to get more sensitive and easily irritated as we get older and natural face oils are perfect to bring down inflammation and irritation, helping it to flourish at the same time. The 100% natural formula only contains ingredients that benefit the skin, and it even has a delicate natural scent. It can be described as an ageless botanical booster and includes a unique blend of sweet almond, grape seed, baobab, argan, jojoba and peach kernel oil. Each of these ingredients on their own are fantastic for healing sensitive skin and when combined together they work wonders by offering a hydrating omega blend of skin nutrition to skin.

Despite such a rich formulation the consistency is never greasy and only a small amount is needed to calm and boost skin, so it is left happy and glowing. Our face oil is made in the UK and cruelty free, plus amazing value at £24 for a 50ml bottle. It can be used as part of a skincare routine after cleansing and applying serum, plus before moisturising. Or it can be used directly onto sensitive skin throughout the day as required. After application skin should feel immediate benefits which will improve with continued use. As with all products please conduct a patch test before use as sometimes allergies can occur to even the most natural of ingredients.

What to Look for In a Face Oil for Sensitive Skin

When it comes to choosing a face oil for sensitive skin we believe that our Revitalising Face Oil ticks all the boxes. If you have sensitive skin then you will know how important that it is to choose the right face product for your sensitive skin. When searching for a natural face oil suitable for sensitive skin, it's important to prioritise ingredients that are gentle and soothing. Look for oils that are rich in omega fatty acids and antioxidants, such as jojoba oil or argan oil, as these can help nourish and protect the skin barrier. It is also essential to avoid harsh chemicals and synthetic fragrances, which can cause irritation or allergic reactions. Always opt for products that are labelled as natural or specifically formulated for sensitive skin. Additionally, conducting a patch test before fully incorporating any new oil into your skincare routine can help prevent unwanted reactions.

Apart from ingredients, it's also crucial to consider the production and sourcing process of the face oil. Natural and sustainably sourced oils are not only better for the environment but can also be gentler on your skin. Brands that prioritise ethical and sustainable practices can also give you peace of mind knowing that you are using a product that aligns with your values.

In addition to choosing the right ingredients and production methods, there are other steps you can take to ensure the best results when using natural face oils for sensitive skin. Firstly, make sure to properly cleanse your skin before applying any face oil. This will help the oil penetrate deeper into the skin and provide maximum benefits. Secondly, it's important to use a suitable amount of oil – too little may not give you the desired results, while using too much can lead to greasiness or clogged pores. Lastly, always follow up with a gentle moisturiser like ours to seal in the nourishing properties of the face oil.

While natural face oils can be incredibly beneficial for sensitive skin, it's also essential to maintain a balanced overall skincare routine. This includes using a mild cleanser, incorporating hydrating serums and creams, and wearing sunscreen daily. Additionally, make sure to stay hydrated by drinking enough water throughout the day and getting enough sleep to give your skin time to repair and rejuvenate.

Apart from skincare habits, lifestyle choices can also impact the appearance and health of your skin. Eating a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats can provide essential nutrients for optimal skin health. Regular exercise can also improve blood flow, leading to a healthier complexion. Managing stress levels is also crucial as it can trigger inflammation and breakouts.

Choosing natural face oils for sensitive skin can be a game-changer in achieving a healthy and radiant complexion. By paying attention to ingredients, production methods, and incorporating good skincare habits into your routine, you can reap the numerous benefits of using natural products that are gentle on your skin.
