While the idea of applying oil to your face might seem strange, oils in skincare have come a long way! We’re past the days of oil-free skincare and face oils are now among the most effective products in skincare with nourishing textures to boot. With a huge range of benefits from aiding hydration to brightening, there are face oils to suit every skin type (even oily and combination skin).  Read on to find out what are the best face oils for skincare now available!

 

How Do Face Oils Work?

While oils in skincare sound like they’re super moisturising, that’s not what they’re all about. Unlike moisturisers, oils don’t absorb deeply nor draw moisture into the skin, which are what moisturisers do. Rather, oils sit on the surface of the skin to prevent moisture from escaping.

As a result, oils have an occlusive effect, which means that they form a protective layer on the skin to lock in moisture.

 

Benefits of Using Face Oils

When face oils are coupled with moisturisers, they make for a seriously hydrating one-two combo.

There are plenty of other positives to using these amazing oils, including:

• Control and maintenance of your skin’s ideal sebum levels, especially for acne prone and oily skin
• Encouraging your skin’s natural glow
• Promoting softer, plumper skin
• Helping to protect your skin barrier from outside irritants like dust and pollution
• Can be used to clean your skin as part of a double cleansing routine.

In addition to these benefits, applying face oils just feels like one of the most indulgent and luxurious parts of a skincare routine!  What’s not to love about upping your self-care game?

History Of Whoo Jinyulhyang Red Wild Ginseng Facial Oil 

This is ideal for anti aging because it contains highly concentrated wild Red Ginseng extracts.

However, because the process for extracting red ginseng is so much more difficult than regular cultivated ginseng, it is not a cheap ingredient. That's why you will only find it in the most truly luxurious Korean skincare products.
