But I Have Oily Skin…Should I Really Use a Face Oil ?

We hear this comment often when introducing our organic face oil to customers….and the quick answer is YES.

Face oils are nothing new, they date back to the ancient Egypt, Greek and Roman empires, but it is only recently that they have come back in vogue. The fact is that plant-based facial oils are moisturizers that provide a bigger boost of hydration than your regular lotion moisturizer, and the reason is simple. Plant oils are technically known as lipophilic (fat loving), so they absorb into the skin’s lipid barrier keeping your skin hydrated, and the big side benefit is that this absorption softens the appearance of fine lines.

We need to be VERY clear on one thing here…..we are talking plant oils, not mineral oils.

Now, back to the oily skin question. With oily skin, natural plant oils trick your skin into thinking it already has enough oil, thereby shutting off sebum production.

If you have dry or blemished skin, the soothing plant oils will help to lock-in moisture by forming a protective barrier, while also cleaning out or refreshing pores.

According to many experts, plant oils are a great addition to your daily beauty ritual, regardless of skin type. Oils do not cause breakouts, and they can decrease inflammation, decrease the appearance of fine lines, and have the potential to help clear a range of skin conditions and protect against infection, dry and flaky skin.

Our Indochine Natural Essence Des Plantes Organic Face Oil is a sumptuous blend of eight carefully selected botanicals that deliver exceptional hydrating and balancing benefits to the skin. It absorbs quickly and evenly, detoxifying patchy skin, imparting a feeling of wellbeing and a smooth, matte finish. Formulated to leave skin brighter and toned without feeling greasy, this healing botanical oil is a favourite with men and women alike.

Ingredients:  Simmondsia chinensis (Jojoba) seed oil*, Sesamum indicum (Sesame) seed oil*, Olea europaea (Olive) fruit oil*, Cocos nucifera (Coconut) oil*, Helianthus annuus (Sunflower) seed oil*, Pelargonium graveolens (Geranium) oil, Salvia sclarea (Clary Sage) oil, Cananga odorata (Ylang Ylang) flower oil. *Certified Organic

Routine: Use morning and evening when skin is still damp after cleansing. Use only a very small amount (usually less than 1 pump). Pump the oil into your palm, rub hands together and gently pat your face, neck and décolletage, spreading a thin even layer. Leave for a few minutes to let the oil sink into the skin.

Suffering from dry skin even though applying lotions and creams?

Did you know that the emulsifiers and binding agents that allow oil and water to mix in moisturizers and lotions actually leaves a residue on your skin that disrupts your skin's lipid barrier, allowing water to evaporate from the skin faster. What happens is that you get a fast shot of moisture that eventually fades….the result... you use more lotion, and your skin gets drier, and the cycle just continues.
Not only does this expose you to dozens of unregulated and untested chemicals that are ingredients in lotions, but it's costing you money, these moisturizers and lotions can be expensive. The cure? Switch over to pure unadulterated organic oils for skin moisturizing.
