Face oils are the most misunderstood step in skincare. Done right they sit at the end of the routine and quietly hold the rest of it together. Here are ten reasons our 100% Natural Anti-Ageing Face Oil belongs in yours.
We made the 100% Natural Anti-Ageing Face Oil because the market needed a face oil that did one thing well rather than ten things badly. It is twelve plant oils, fully natural, made in the UK and infused with lavender and geranium. No fillers, no synthetic fragrance and nothing it does not need.
1. Locks in moisture
A face oil works by sealing the skin's surface so the water in your moisturiser does not evaporate through the day. Apply yours as the last step of your routine, after serum and moisturiser. Two or three drops is enough.
2. Works alongside the rest of your skincare tools
The face oil pairs particularly well with our Gua Sha for an evening sculpting session, with our Cryo Glow Kit for a calming morning ritual and as a finishing layer after an LED face mask session. Our Sculpt and Nourish Essentials Kit pairs the oil with a Gua Sha in one set.
3. Balances the skin's natural oil production
One of the older myths in skincare says oily skin should avoid face oils. The opposite is true. Adding the right oils helps the skin stop overproducing its own to compensate for surface dryness. This is particularly noticeable in combination skin.
4. Supports the skin barrier
A healthy lipid barrier is what keeps the skin resilient against pollution, weather and irritation. The Pure Derma blend includes oils high in essential fatty acids that support the barrier and help with the appearance of calmer, more even skin.
5. Helps with the appearance of pores
Higher quality plant oils like jojoba and camellia have a chemical structure close to the skin's own sebum, so they help dissolve and lift the grime sitting in pores rather than adding to it. The appearance of pore size softens over consistent use.
6. Rich in antioxidants and essential fatty acids
The blend is built around plant oils chosen for nutrient density rather than what is cheapest to source. Rosehip, jojoba, camellia, lavender and geranium between them deliver omegas, antioxidants and vitamins A, C and E that the skin uses for repair and renewal.
7. Non-comedogenic
Despite the name, oil does not clog pores when the formulation is right. Our face oil is non-comedogenic, which means it suits acne-prone skin as well as dry and sensitive skin.
8. Helps with the appearance of fine lines
The antioxidants help with the appearance of fine lines and uneven tone over time. None of this is overnight. Six to eight weeks of consistent use is when the change reads in the mirror.
9. Calms reactive skin
Jojoba and rosehip in particular are known for soothing properties and the lavender and geranium infusion add a calming layer. The oil suits skin that flares easily and is regularly recommended for use after microneedling, derma rolling or LED sessions when paired with our hyaluronic acid serum.
10. Makes makeup sit better
A light layer applied under makeup creates a smoother base so foundation glides on and stays put. Apply a single drop, let it sink in for two minutes, then build your makeup as usual.
Why ours, specifically
Most face oils on the market are either filler-heavy budget blends or eye-watering luxury bottles with most of the value in the packaging. Ours sits in the middle. Twelve high-quality plant oils, 100% natural, handmade in the UK, vegan and cruelty-free, £38.95 for a bottle that lasts months.
Common questions
How much should I use?
Two or three drops as the final step of your routine. More does not mean better. A little of a concentrated blend goes a long way.
Morning or evening?
Both work. Most women use it nightly and on alternate mornings depending on how the skin feels.
Can oily skin use a face oil?
Yes. The right oils help regulate sebum production rather than add to it.
Does it work with my serums?
Apply your water-based serum first, then moisturiser, then face oil as the final seal. The order matters because oil blocks water-based ingredients from reaching the skin if applied first.
