Reasons to Include a Face Cleansing Oil in Your Skincare Routine

Using a cleansing oil face wash might seem counterintuitive. You could have been led to believe that oil-free products will give you the radiant, healthy skin you dream of. We want to address that misconception and help you realise the benefits of using cleansing oils for your face.

When you’re going about your day, your facial pores are getting clogged with all kinds of pollutants and impurities in the air. Before you go to bed, you should use an oil-based face cleanser to:

  • Lift impurities from your skin to avoid them building up and breaking out into spots, acne, and irritation.
  • Rehydrate skin that has been dried out by makeup and bad bacteria.
  • Retain water in your skin to prevent it from drying out overnight.
  • Protect your skin, regardless of whether it’s sensitive or you have a combination of oily or dry patches.
  • Improve your skin’s elasticity to reduce signs of ageing, including wrinkles and fine lines.
  • Shield your skin from sun damage with powerful reparative and protective antioxidants.
  • Regulate the production of collagen protein that is responsible for keeping your skin plump, youthful, and radiant.

Our Oil Face Cleanser Recommendation

With so many oil face washes on the market, how do you choose the best one for you? What if we told you that you don’t have to go far to find one that will be perfect for achieving your skincare goals regardless of the existing condition and appearance of your face?

Our Clear Skin Cleansing Oil for the face has been formulated to rehydrate dry skin and remove excess dirty oils from greasy skin, leaving it feeling clean, smooth, and refreshed. All you have to do is massage a small amount onto dry skin and let the camellia, chia seed, and hemp seed ingredients lift impurities out of your pores while the papaya seed and rosehip oil moisturise and nourish your skin. It will also lock water in to prevent your skin from drying out or feeling too tight. 

Our customers are raving about our face cleansing oil! Here’s what they had to say:

“I have very sensitive, reactive skin, and this is the first face oil I have been able to use without it causing issues. It is so gentle and soft on my skin and leaves my skin feeling nourished.”

Things to Avoid When Using Cleansing Oils on Your Face

Is there a wrong way to apply an oil cleanser on your face? Yes. You might not maximise the benefits of your oil face cleanser if you:

  • Apply your face wash on wet skin.

You’ll have much clearer, blemish-free skin if you use your oil-based face wash on dry skin. If you wet your face with water first, you risk diluting the oil, and it won’t be as effective at removing dirt lodged deep in your pores.

  • Not spending enough time massaging it into your pores.

We know you’re busy and don’t always have the time to spend by the sink. However, dedicating a few minutes every day to massaging the cleanser into your pores will pay off over time and give you beautiful, clear skin. Plus, who doesn’t enjoy pampering themselves!?

  • Not washing your face properly after cleansing.

If you find residue on your skin after using a cleansing oil on your face, it’s likely you haven’t removed all the product. The residue can lead to the very issues you’re trying to reduce, including clogged pores, irritation, and acne-prone skin. Make sure you use plenty of water to wash off the debris so you can see your freshly clean skin in all its glory!
