Everything You Need To Know About Pure Oils For Face And Body

If you have ever wondered whether facial oil or an oil-based serum belongs in your routine, you are not alone. When thoughtfully crafted, an oil-based serum feels luxurious yet simple—and when used well, it can transform dry, dull skin into something dewy and calm. In this guide, you will learn what our oil-based facial serum actually does, how it differs from pure oils, the benefits of favourites like Rosehip and Argan, and exactly how to use them on your face and body for smooth, hydrated skin.

Facial oil vs serum, what is the real difference? Think of a serum as a concentrated treatment designed to deliver nourishing actives and emollients that comfort and protect your skin. Our oil-based facial serum blends luxurious botanicals, vitamins, and skin-loving butters to cushion, condition, and visibly revive. A pure oil is primarily an emollient and occlusive; it softens, nourishes, and seals in moisture. Serums often feature vitamins and antioxidants to target brightness or firmness, while pure oils contribute lipids and antioxidants that support your skin barrier and reduce water loss. You can absolutely use both. Apply our oil-based facial serum first—its blend of luxurious botanicals and vitamins cushions skin beautifully—then, if you’d like extra sealing or glow, finish with a few drops of a pure oil such as Rosehip or Argan. If you prefer a minimal routine, our serum can be a beautiful one-step evening hydrator after cleansing. What does an oil-based facial serum do? Our facial serum supports your skin in four practical ways: - Reinforces your skin barrier to help prevent moisture from escaping. - Softens rough or flaky patches for instant comfort and glow. - Balances the look of skin by cushioning dryness, which can reduce the appearance of fine lines. - Delivers antioxidants and fatty acids—from botanicals and vitamins—that help calm irritation from weather or over cleansing. That barrier support is why the serum feels so soothing after sun, wind, or winter heating. With consistent use, skin often looks smoother, more even, and better hydrated. Is it okay to use the serum every day? Yes. Daily use works for most skin types when you apply the right amount: - Dry or mature skin: 3 to 6 drops morning and night, pressed over lightly misted skin. - Normal or combination skin: 2 to 4 drops once or twice a day, focusing on dry areas. - Oily or breakout-prone skin: 1 to 3 drops at night; patch test first and adjust the amount so the finish feels light. If your skin ever feels greasy or congested, you’re likely using too much. Adjust the number of drops, and always apply to slightly damp skin so the serum spreads thinly. Can you use our serum instead of moisturizer? Yes—especially with our oil-based serum. Moisturizers blend water and oil with humectants to hydrate and emollients to soften. While pure oils do not add water on their own, our serum is designed to replace the need for a traditional moisturizer for many people thanks to its balanced, nutrient-rich formula. If you enjoy layering, mist with water or apply a hydrating step first, then press in the serum to seal it in. If you are dealing with dehydration, pairing a light hydrating step beneath the serum will give even better results.

Two pure oils complement our serum perfectly and allow you to personalize your glow: - Rosehip Oil: Brightening and supportive for uneven tone, with a silky feel that layers well at night. A few drops pressed over our serum can boost radiance and comfort, especially for normal to dry or combination skin. - Argan Oil: Mid-weight, comforting, and rich in Vitamin E. Lovely for dry, dull, or mature skin when you want an extra seal over the serum without heaviness. Tip: Start with the serum as your core step. If you want additional softness or a luminous finish, add a few drops of Rosehip or Argan on top. Our pure face oils include Rosehip and Argan—beautiful on their own and featured within our “Facially Yours” serum philosophy. Serum vs pure oils: which is better for daily use? They serve different purposes—and both can be amazing when used well. Everyday staple: Our oil-based facial serum is the daily hero for most skin types. It cushions, nourishes, and visibly smooths with a balanced blend of botanical oils, vitamins, and butters. Custom finish: Use Rosehip Oil to enhance overnight radiance or Argan Oil to add a comforting, vitamin-rich seal—especially on drier areas. Keep it simple: serum first, then a few drops of Rosehip or Argan if desired. If you’re curious about a ready-to-use option, you will find face oil nz choices in our face serum and pure oils range—perfect companions to our serum-led routine. How to use the serum for best results - Apply to damp skin: After cleansing, leave your face slightly damp or mist with water. The serum spreads better and locks in hydration this way. - Layer smartly: In the morning, press in our oil-based serum after cleansing; if you want a dewy seal, follow with 1–2 drops of Rosehip or Argan. - Finish with sunscreen during the day. Use less than you think: Start with two or three drops of serum, warm between your palms, then press into your face, neck, and chest. - Adjust with the seasons: In winter you may need one extra drop of serum or an added drop of Argan. In humid months, go lighter or use serum mostly at night. Facial care for the body Our oil-based serum is a gorgeous treat for delicate areas like the neck, chest, and hands. For body care, pure oils make a beautiful companion. Apply Rosehip or Argan after a shower while skin is still damp to trap in water and keep limbs soft and comfortable. If you prefer a fluffy texture, a whipped body butter is a lovely alternative that combines oils with butters for lasting comfort.
