5 Reasons Facial Oils Make Great Moisturizers

The good news is, once you have made the leap to organic skincare, your skin will be
primed and ready to work like it does in the natural wild world.

5 Reasons Facial Oils Make Great Moisturizers

1. Balance! Like we talked about above, the skin uses it’s own homemade oil to trap dirt and grime. When it’s not in balance, skin chaos can ensue on a spectrum that stems from clogged pores to fine lines and wrinkles to itchy, flaky skin. Using an oil to moisturize shows the skin, “hey! I’m here to help!” because it’s already accustomed to working with an oil and it helps to balance out the skin for the appearance of healthy, glowing skin.
2. Purity! We’re into purity and Earth-based organic ingredients. An organic oil that has been sustainably sourced and processed safely is one of the purest ingredients. They’re full of the botanical benefits that come with the plant they’re sourced from, which are often very high in minerals and antioxidants!
3. Nourishment! Oils are great to infuse even more minerals into. They readily accept fat-soluble nutrients from anything they’re steeped in so when you’re using an infused oil in your skincare routine, you’re getting a protective moisturizer along with an amazing extra boost of nourishment.
4. Use Less! Think about the person you know that has the most beautiful natural skin. Do they look too oily? Too dry? No! They’re blessed with that ‘just a little bit of dewy’ perfection that we crave. Finding the right balance with oils isn’t about using a lot or a little bit of oil, it’s about using the right one at the right times. A pea-sized amount rubbed into the palm of your hands and patted into your face is all most people need for their daily moisturizer.
5. Preserve! Just like oils help to preserve our skin, they help to preserve the seeds that they come from. A pure oil doesn’t need any added preservation for it to last a few years without going rancid, especially if you keep it in a cool, dark place (light and heat speed are catalysts and speed decomposition.) Using pure oils helps us keep the chemical preservatives out of our products!

The fun is just beginning. Now that you’re sold on using an oil for your skin care routine, it’s time to start looking at what might be the best kind of oil for your skin type. Once you have an idea of your best carrier oil, you can check out what you want to look for in terms of a good facial oil that has that carrier oil in it!
