Although we don't have snow and freezing weather as far as the eye can see, winter is upon us with cold and wind. You can perhaps feel and see on your skin that it feels extra dry and tight when you step out of the bath in the morning? Maybe the skin is peeling or it looks lifeless and sad? It can be difficult to find the right products for dry winter skin - should you, for example, choose a product based on fat or on moisture? If you have oily skin, you may avoid oil-based products for fear that the skin will then produce even more oil. But it's a bit of a stretch. The more you wash and cleanse the skin, the more sebum it produces to maintain a natural pH balance. So often, oily skin can easily handle a product based on fat, it may even need it. And then you can always, when spring comes and the skin is no longer so dry, switch to a product without oil in it.
Why face oil?
Facial oil supplies the skin with lots of fatty acids, moisture, nutrition and antioxidants, so that it is optimally protected against external challenges such as wind and weather, radiators, pollution, make-up, stoves, radiation from electronics and poor indoor climate. It is always a good idea to protect your skin with good products, but in the cold months the skin needs a little extra protection.
A good tip for choosing a facial oil is that you should not use body oils on the face. They are often based on fatty oils, which have difficulty penetrating the skin and therefore settle on top of the skin. It is also a good idea to stay away from the mineral oils, as they cannot be absorbed into the skin either and can therefore also clog the pores.
A mixture of several oils that together boost your skin
Our oil, BEAUTIFUL skincare OIL, can be used all year round. Several of the added oils have a small molecular size, which means that the oil penetrates easily and quickly into the skin. In this way, it does not just lay on top of the skin and skate around, as you can otherwise experience with other oils. It is packed with the best ingredients and together the ingredients form a strong shield against wind and weather.
When only the best is good enough
Organic, active and natural ingredients are the way forward in relation to skin care - at least we think so. Argan oil and sea buckthorn oil are full of vitamins and antioxidants, while argan oil also contains omega 6, which is a sebum-regulating, moisturizing and essential fatty acid. And because the argan oil regulates the skin's sebum production, it is also suitable for those with combination/oily skin.
Oil from the kukui nut has anti-inflammatory properties, is moisturizing, moisture-binding, connective tissue-strengthening and preventive in relation to wrinkles. Wild blueberries from Norway act as a delicious and powerful antioxidant that both strengthens the elasticity and the collagen level in the skin.
How to use your facial oil
Use your favorite face oil in the morning if you tend to have dry skin or when wind and weather invite a little extra protection. And also feel free to use it in the evening for extra nourishment under your night cream and massage it well into the skin. If you have a beauty tool, you can use it on top of the facial oil, so that you really work the oil into and down the skin.
