Which Face Oil Should I Use if I Have Dry Skin?

If you have dry skin, then a face oil can be a wondrous product for you, that can really be a game changer when it comes to how your skin looks and feels. This is because a good product like our Nakin Revitalising Face Oil contains lots of plant ingredients that calm, hydrate and strengthen dry skin. Plus it also gives skin a lovely glow, which is often lacking for dry skin types.

When it comes to choosing a face oil for dry skin, it's important to look for oils that are rich in essential fatty acids and antioxidants, and this is exactly what we offer with our Revitalising Face Oil. All of our natural anti-ageing face collection is filled with natural ingredients that are nutrient and hydration rich. Some of the plant ingredients in our face oil include:

• Argan Oil: Known as "liquid gold", argan oil is packed with vitamin E and essential fatty acids, providing deep hydration and a boost of nutrients to the skin.
• Jojoba Oil: This oil mimics the skin’s natural sebum, making it a fantastic moisturiser. It's quickly absorbed without leaving a greasy residue.
• Baobab Oil: Rich in vitamins A and C, baobab oil is excellent for regenerating skin and improving moisture levels, giving the complexion a more radiant appearance.
• Peach Oil: Full of vitamins A and E, peach oil penetrates deeply to moisturise and nourish without greasiness, making it ideal for dry and mature skin, plus all skin types.

Choosing the right face oil involves considering your skin’s specific needs and any sensitivities you might have, and we tend to find that a completely natural one like ours works wonders. Always patch-test a new product to ensure it works well with your skin though.

In addition to our oil, there are also other ingredients that can help nourish and hydrate dry skin which we include in the rest of our natural skincare range. Look for products containing hyaluronic acid, a powerful humectant that draws moisture into the skin and is found in most of our products, and plant oil blends and butters. It helps to lock in moisture and can be found in most of our cleansers, treatments and moisturisers.

It's important to note that face oils should not replace your regular moisturiser but rather be used as an additional step in your skincare routine. Oils are best applied after cleansing and toning but before a moisturiser, which will then help seal in the moisture. 

In addition to using a good face oil, it's essential to drink enough water and eat a healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables, to keep your skin hydrated from the inside out. Regular exfoliation is also crucial for removing dead skin cells and allowing products to penetrate deeper into the skin. Our Exfoliating Radiance Tonic is perfect for this.

Incorporating a face oil into your skincare routine can provide numerous benefits for dry skin, such as deep hydration, nourishment, and improved appearance. Good hydration and healthy lifestyle habits are just as crucial for maintaining hydrated and nourished skin. So, drink enough water, eat well, exfoliate regularly, and enjoy the glowing results of a well-hydrated complexion.
