I spent years putting whatever oil I was using on as my last step thinking I was "sealing" everything in, and well because that's what the internet told me. I've since changed my ways- catering to the oil- and I've noticed a big difference, and less oil wasted on my pillow. I do think you have to see what works for your skin and there isn't really an explicitly wrong way as neither have negative results, but I do think there's an inherently more beneficial order to apply them depending on what type of oil you are using. But again there's lot of wiggle room as it all depends on your products. What's in your moisturizer, what you want to get out of using the oil etc. As a general guideline the lighter higher in linoleic acid oils perform at their highest when using before your occlusive moisturizer or mixed, but definitely not after. These oils (rosehip, sunflower, hemp, safflower, primrose, grape seed...) are more unsaturated and actually rebuild the lipid layer and repair the skin barrier while having a lower occlusive nature. If used AFTER, due to the occlusive properties of the moisturizer, the light oil wouldn't penetrate to it's fullest potential, if much at all. As the moisturizer would likely be more occlusive than a more linoleic rich oil. You'd still see benefits but certainly not all it can do. The more saturated higher in oleic acid oils (avocado, macadamia, shea, almond) have emollient properties also but mostly do their work via their occlusive nature, making sense why these oils would go on last as a sealant. Jojoba and argan are somewhat balanced in linoleic and oliec acids. I'm stopping there because I just wrote an essay on face oils at 4am, send help.
Thank you so much! You answered my exact question I’ve been searching for days. I’ve been using my sweet almond oil as my last step at night and I didn’t know if I should switch it and use it after toning and before serum or how I’ve been doing it.
Hey can someone help me, what oil is best for the glossy/glass skin look? When I wet my face with water I look glowy and shiny but when it dries, even with moisturizer My skin looks dull and boring. Thank you so muc h!
I tried mixing my own oil for skincare in the past but never find the right mix. Until I recently used Kiehl's midnight recovery oil which contains various elixir oils for anti-ageing!!!!!!! My wrinkles are less apparent and my skin feels so re-energized! you can read more about the review here --> sowourplanet.com/kiehls-midnight-recovery-review/ I feel so much more confident and younger now! Would highly recommend this oil
Will you ever review or mention hair care products? I know most of the products and advice given on this channel mostly addresses the skin on our face, but the skin on our head (scalp) is also important. C:
I was never into skincare.... I thought it would be the last thing I'll ever do to myself... But welp?... They made me do it and now for these guys my skin is blessed
I love facial oils!! My skin is normal but I actually love the ‘glowy’ oily look. I used to use oils as the last step but now I apply it immediately after my serums before my moisturiser. I feel like it helps retain moisture more and I get more benefits from the oil. ❤️
Hey ladies! Did you know The Ordinary makes a marula facial oil (which is obviously cheaper than the DE one). If it works for a future video can you try it and compare the two?? I'm so excited for more of these 101 videos!
I had to pause to say this “thanks Rowena, Felicia, Mia and the team for all this free information.Don’t know if I have said this before. I am so glad I started my skin care journey with y’all.
I have super sensitive and dry skin; my favorite last step oil is a mix I make of vitamin e oil and sweet almond oil. It's been perfect and hasn't caused any reaction or break outs!
OOooooo both of those are sooo good, my fave as well! And fun fact, our sebum actually contains amounts of vitamin E hehe. So it's like replenishing your skin naturally 😊thanks for sharing! 💞- fel
Same with your moisturizer. Moisturizers are most effective when skin is still damp, as damp skin best absorbs the moisture and locks it in for a longer time. After washing your face, don’t towel-dry. Instead, apply your moisturizer to damp skin, which can help lock in hydration. Use the same technique when it comes to your body as well. Once you hop out of the shower, resist the urge to wrap yourself in a towel for a minute or two longer and apply body lotion while you’re still damp. Pay particular attention to areas like your knees, elbows, and feet, which tend to get drier and rougher than the skin on the rest of your bod. I have dry, sensitive, mature skin and I use the CeraVe Moisturizing Cream (water-based) on my whole body from head to toes. I use this method and my skin has never been happier. When I used it on my DRY skin, it felt like it just sat on the surface of my skin with attitude. On WET skin, the dampness of my skin helps the slip in my application and I use a fraction of product and it melts right in!
I have always had extremely oily skin. By mid day my forehead, nose, and cheeks would be a gross waterfall of grease. I always stayed away from oils and never saw a change. Last month I started adding a facial oil that I bought from target designed to hydrate added over my water gel moisturizer. And it completely changed my skin. I have no excess oil like none. I wish I started years ago.
Guys can you do a review and tell us the different between aveeno, cerave, cetaphil and first aid beauty? Or anyone in here have tried those products? What the different? What is your favorite?
A. Cerave and cetaphil are very similar, good for people with eczema or on roaccutane or just with sensitive skin. They are recommended by doctors/derms Aveeno is just really moisturising and doesn’t have any additives First aid beauty has a range of different products that all do different things
Cerave is the best!!! I use it as my cleanser and as my base moisturizer because it’s mild enough and hydrating to combine with my more complicated serums and oils. My face broke out with Aveeno, while Cetaphil is a little drying and doesn’t make your skin as moisturized as Cerave. I swear to Cerave products, they can’t be underestimated!
I swear by the Aveeno moisturizing bar soap for my face. Oat is the first ingredient out of about ten which is awesome. It leaves my skin clean and smooth without drying. I also can’t live without their makeup removing wipes. My sister uses the aveeno spf 30 moisturizer and from trying it out, it’s just OK. I’m not a fan of two in one spf/moist.’s. Aveeno has a few awesome products just with anything, be weary of the ingredients list. Pull your phone out while shopping to search each individual ingredient if you have to. The more effort you put into familiarizing yourself with ingredients, the easier it will be to discern what is right/wrong for your skin. And it does get easier 😊
your videos are a god send. there are so so so many skin care videos done by random people who have no idea what they're talking about and they do a poor job of explaining everything. you do so much more than just recommend random, sponsored products. you really explain the whole process and why each product is important, why it's good or bad for you. it's so refreshing to finally have found a channel that really helps you understand skincare.
I have suuuuper sensitive (mature) skin so most of my regimen is treatment oils that I put together myself. It actually saves you hella dough to research your skin needs (acne-prone, redness, dry, etc) and target things that might work for your personal needs and make your own mixtures. Very few of them have extremely short shelf lives and it really pays off in the end to have good ingredients that your know are sourced well. You don't need a long list of oils for a good personal mix. The key to buying good oil well: Purchase the highest quality you can afford and always buy Cold-pressed, pure, unrefined oils with no additives. Example of a dope EASY and cost-effective dupe: TARTE's Maracuja Oil is literally only Maracuja Oil and Vitamin E - likely just a dash for added shelf life which isn't really necessary when making your own mix. Maracuja Oil is intended to nourish and soothe mature, dry, parched or irritated skin. It is also highly recommended in scalp and hair care products to encourage healthy hair growth and increased vitality. Seriously, keeping the recipe small saves you money in the long run, and it helps keep your mix more stable. Just target your wants/ needs, test them out and see if they play well with your skin, and you'll have a winner for life. I like my day oils to be fast-absorbing, moisturizing and protecting. The more the antioxidants, the better the protection as they fight-off free radicals activated by the sun’s UV rays. For night, relax and replenish. My preferred night oils are extremely nourishing with good fatty acid content as they repair the lipid barrier of the skin that might be affected by harsh environmental stressors during the day and restore lost moisture. There are also oils which have potent anti-aging compounds like phytochemicals which repair skin and reverse or prevent signs of aging. Also, it seems that many are clueless about what can and cannot be mixed. Don't rock an AHA with a separate Vitamin C serum, use one for daytime (Vit C) and one at night (AHA) otherwise your skin will get super peeved. Beware, but play and have fun with it!
Also, some really loved moisturizers already have great oils mixed in. Read your labels and get to know what might love you back and why. Example: Both FIRST AID BEAUTY's Ultra Repair® Cream Intense Hydration and KIEHL's Ultra Facial Cream both include SQUALANE in the mix (yay!) so you know both are awesome for hydration! (* FIRST AID BEAUTY's Ultra Repair® Cream Intense Hydration has Squalane derived from plants, and KIEHL's Ultra Facial Cream has Squalane derived from olives.) Now, if you have super finicky skin that irritates the former might be an even better choice for you as it also includes Colloidal Oatmeal (an FDA-designated skin protectant that relieves itching and minor irritation caused by eczema, rashes, and other skin conditions) and Allantoin (Calms and soothes skin).
Here's a great Huda Beauty article on how to make your own oil mixes for a fraction of the price of some of the high ticket options: hudabeauty.com/2018/04/09/the-ultimate-face-oil-diys-for-your-skin-type/
This is by far the most effective product for me and it's not heavy on my skin. I used it on my face for my wrinkles. Great support! thank you for the lifetime discount!
Look ladies I usually don't leave comments on tutorials, just watch take what I want and leave, but today I just can't. Your channel is literally the best I've ever seen! You are giving so much useful explanations and advices... Thank you so much
Omg! I’ve been using my oils the complete opposite!!! I’ve always applied my oil right after toning. I thought it would penetrate better that way, since I have EXTREMELY dry flaky skin all around my mouth and jaw line. So, I’m supposed to add it with my moisturizer or after, right? I currently add two drops of tea tree oil to my Purity moisturizer because I have a bad case of hormonal cystic acne, and the tea tree oil really helps with taming the acne, BUT I still get flakes a few hours after my skin has sucked up all the moisture. D: Maybe once I start using the oil as my last step (before sunscreen) my flakes will go away. (Fingers crossed). Thank you for this video Rowena and Felicia!! 🙏🏼💜
YESSS! We have one coming up in a couple of weeks, so stay tuned for that heheh. It's super interesting, and relates to the entire body! 🤓 Thanks for the comment and for watching the vid early! - fel 😘
@@RT-1100 yeah many products are just baits. But not all. Also, UVA and UVB do damage (burn) the skin (and kill collagen) and can cause (help form) cancer. Anyway, the best is to look at everything with a healthy amount of skepticism.
@pou Sweetheart, yes, the skincare & makeup industry are Multi Billion dollar Markets. HOWEVER...I am 51 years old & RUINED my skin tanning & not using sunscreen !!! I have learned more in the past year about skin care than I have in the last 30. I suggest you watch Dr Dray & Dr Sam Bunting. The products I've switched to, using their recommendations, have been Game Changers for my skin issues!😉
I didn't thought oils were necessary but now after watching this I will definitely incorporate oils in my skincare routine. You guys really give lots of information in detail I really love it. Thank you.
Am I alone in my love for medicinal-smelling skin care? I think it heightens my confidence in it. Like I trust it more because it’s medicine! And no fragrance is what my sensitive skin wants. Basically if it smells good (or at least if there’s a particularly strong scent) I get kinda weary of the product on my skin.
I loved this series, I've learned so much from you THANK YOU so much!!! I'll be a lot more aware of what products I'm putting in my face thanks to you 😊
How have I never seen you guys before? You have completely educated me on why I itch every single time I use coconut, olive, even almond... I’ve been doing it wrong all these yeeears... I use almond oil as a oil cleansing method, but I’m always so oily at the end of the day. I have combination/oily skin. I never guessed this was why... I never completely cleared up. It did help with my breakouts a bit, but I still suffer from adult acne. Even after getting massages when they would use certain oils (olive, almond, coconut) my back would completely break out. Now I know why. Holy crap.... thanks girls I’m a subie for life please keep these videos coming...You guys should make your own skin care line.... I’m here for it honies.... thank you thank you... I can’t wait to try these new tips.... I hope they work for me.. 🥺
taking about oils, for eyebrows, girls, keratin oil! saved my eyebrows, really. Massage every day and you'll start seeing slight improvement within 2 weeks, but you need to stick to it for a few months to actually see a good difference.
I found this channel because of Rowena and I’m so grateful I found it! Rowena and Felicia are a delight to watch, they give information in a way that’s very easy to follow and digest. Also I love skincare so this is seriously one of my favorite channels on TH-cam!!! Thank you both for all of your hard work xoxo
Awww this means a lot, thank you so much!! We're just happy you guys are enjoying it and learning lots from the vids! We just want to highlight what all these products really are and what they do, and if you really need them because so much of it is just marketing, and taking your money 😂Thanks so much for the comment, we love you! 💞
So I just found your channel and I'M OBSESSED!!! I love that you guys have the science behind it, too. I'm totally binging on AALLLLLL your videos but I did want to add (on the off chance you'll actually read this comment) is that your skin doesn't "get used" to products. When the LUNA oil doesn't give you any more improvement, it means you've exhausted it's benefits and need to either increase your frequency of use for every day OR bump up to a higher level of retinol. ... So excited to see the rest of the vids!
Yeeeeaaaa, I’ve definitely been using jojoba oil as my moisturizer lately, lol. I usually moisturize with aloe vera gel but I don’t have any so I cleanse, tone, then apply oil. I recently just ordered sunscreen too (I’ve never used it before) soooo I kinda wanna use that in place of a moisturizer. My skin is oily/combo so I don’t want too much crap on my face. Just wanna keep it simple.
I have so many questions!!!! One of them is: are we supposed to be using Cleanser, Toner, Exfoliates, Serums, Moisturizers, and Oils EVERY DAY!?!?! Night and Day routines?! Can you guys make a video on when to use these products?
This pure Moroccan oil gives life to my hair and my skin. My hair was so dry and now its shining. It also moisturizes my skin and no any side effects. a must try product.
Hazelnut oil has been used for oily skin and minimizing the size of pores because of its unique properties. A high content of catechins and tannins (healthy flavonoids) make this oil a “dry” oil that feels smooth and toning on the skin. Its properties help balance oils and make your pores appear smaller.
Thanks so much for this video! I was hesitant to use face oils in my routine, since my skin is already combination oily and I thought it would make it worse. This video helped clear things up!
Thank you ladies so much for this info. I’ve always loved using oils, now o have more of a grasp of what and how I should use them. I’m waiting for my Mizon Snail 🐌 repair set and I’m so ready to try the whole Korean skin care regimen. I have acne prone/mature skin (I’ll be 38 next Saturday) so I have scars, fine lines, wrinkles, dark under eyes, the whole negative shabang. 😳 I’m hoping the Korean skin care will help. Wish me good luck 👍🏽
I have oily skin and because of the low linoleic acid count due to this condition, a facial oil rich in linoleic acid would balance the hydration level just fine. So I guess I can use grapeseed oil. Grapeseed Oil also has tocopherol (vitamin E) and is rich in other antioxidants. 😍 I will make it as the last part of my daily skincare routine.
I live in a tropical country which is super humid and hot all year long. Thus, I always have to use the oil and moisturizer alternatively. If I use them together, ooh la la!!!!
I appreciate how much you guys bring in research and science to your videos! There's so many people that talk about the product and don't say much else other than "I like it." I have a much better understanding of products when I watch your videos!
i love how your channel is done girls! filled with the whole range of knowledge needed on the topic with examples of products AND ALL THAT IN A FUN WAY love you 💜💜💜
I use to have really oily skin but that completely changed once i started using rosehip oil and bio oil for my scars. I now use avocado and almond oil for my body and could never go back to using normal body moisturizers 💜
I have oily skin as well and noticed that when I use the rosehip at night mixed with my moisturizer I woke up to less oily skin which is good but then I noticed my skin actually started getting flakey and dry. Do you think my skin just needs to adjust? Did you experience any dryness? Should I put the oil on last instead of mixing it into my moisturizer?
@@nickilubra3981 maybe try using a smaller amount of oil so that your skin can build its tolerance. then after a couple of weeks slowly use a little bit more oil. this is what I did and my skin didn't break out from using it
Bio-oil is a great way to use on both face and body. It has vitamin A and E and a compination of lavender and chamomile essential oil. Almond also is a universal oil generally used for body messages and is great for skin care. Winter is a great time for oil use during the day. 😉❤❤
Lips! Can you do a video on lip care and recomendations! I live in area where it could get -25°C at winter and +25°C during summer, thus the weather difference is extreame over the year. I would love a video that takes weather difference into account. Cheers! :)
I love how this channel's videos are so informative! I want to see what you guys think about the brand Biossance. It is one of my favorite brands for facial oils
Fel loves the oil! We haven't gotten the chance to try the other products yet but we'll def work Biossance into one of our videos reviewing most hyped & popular products :) -Ro
I use pure coconut oil to clean my waterproof mascara, and is the only thing that actually works without rubbing and irritating my eyes, micellar water and then a cream cleanser. I love marula and rose oil for after.
Thanks so much for sharing that with us!! Caster oil was Rowena's version of you using Vaseline. I had so much trouble getting vas off my face when I used it to remove makeup hahah. I learned the hard way that a little goes a long way 😅😅 - fel
jojoba oil is my literal lifeblood. i used to have really bad acne and when i started using a really good AHA/BHA, it made my skin super dehydrated so it was oily and dry/flaky at the same time. i started using jojoba twice a day, every day, and my skin is so nice now. on top of it being good at controlling oil, you get this really nice natural glow to your skin without your face getting extra greasy throughout the day.
I agree that every skin type is better using different applications. For me I can't use oils at all my pores are too large and oil settles right in and makes them huge! But, I can use the cleansing oil as a a waxy tip cleanser my pores before using a second cleanser to close my pores
I would love it if you guys did a peach and lily collection review. I have quite a few of their collection on my shopping list, but I can’t find many videos about it. Their wild dew essence, luxe beam oil, and glass skin serum sound interesting. Anyway, love your videos! Super glad that I found this channel :)
I do not hope that I am the only one that have experienced it yet and can admit it, but can you maybe make a video about facial hair and what are the best ways to deal with it. For example does laser treatment work and how long does it takes to lead to an effect of less facial hair? What are the alternatives; bleach, hair removal creme and consequences of for example shaving with those small white machines heads that are currently advertised on Facebook and maybe also other social media. Is it best just to poke out the facial hair with a pincet or does that irritate the skin to much like hair removal creme can do? Further what are the possible reasons of visible facial hair on women and can specific changes in diet or medication change the hormones for example testosterone that maybe can lead to grow of visible facial hair.
I have oily, acne prone skin and I have used Rosehip oil here and there in the past, but recently I read that while it was great for fading PIH marks, that it should "NEVER" be applied to active breakouts. Have you guys ever heard this or know why that might be?
15:03 - Omega 3 and Omega 6 are linoleic acid. They are quite different actually. Omega 3 is alpha-linolenic, whereas Omega 6 is linoleic. To get the optimal skin results, the ratio of the two should be as close to optimal as well.
I love your videos. They’re so educational. You guys got me into facial oils. 😂 I have oily skin and for months I was hesitant about using facial oils and I recently purchase the Drunk Elephant Marula oil and I’m in love with it. Thanks for all the info and great tips.
Surprised you didn’t mention Camelia Oil!!! Tatcha makes an amazing Camelia Oil that is so perfect, I love it!!!! Love your channel!!! Awesome video!!! You guys did an amazing job on this series!!!
Hope you guys can talk about which part of the routine should treatment oils be in. Like say for example TO Retinol in Squalane, Biossance Vit C Rose Oil. I think a lot of people, newbies and even some skincare veterans, still gets confused on whether treatment oils should be used before or after moisturizers :)
Yes, looking forward to setting sprays please. I don't wear makeup but being looking for setting spray that would go on top of my sunscreen and mattify without drying.
Or you can mix them with your moisturizer or only apply them on specific areas... I explain how in my review of The Ordinary Natural moisturizing factors.
This series is amazing! I've learned so much. A video I think a lot of people would love to see would be all about masks! Powder, fresh, packaged, etc.
can you guys make a video on the oil cleansing method, but I don't mean double-cleansing. I mean using oil to wash your face after makeup is off. People say its really good for getting rid of acne
This was way more informative and valid than I dare to expect from youtube! One request: I'd love if you would mention if the product was naturally sertified (USDA or any European sertificates) or if they were synthetic with natural ingredients. I know the system doesn't work as effectively in the States but it would raise the meaning of the sertificates and be more clear for people thet only use sertified cosmetics. Than you for making well explained, evident videos like this one!
Love DE's Marula oil for my dry skin. It works well with any moisturizer I've tried. Just ordered The Ordinary's version - fingers crossed it's just as good.
@@BeautyWithin Well, I woke up with a pimple on my cheek today (the most sensitive part of my face). But I'm not convinced it's the Marula oil. Think it was the Paula's Choice CLINICAL Ultra-Rich Moisturizer I've been using. So I went back to my Dr. Roebuck's No Worries moisturizer just to confirm. Oh, you guys should review the Dr. Roebuck's No Worries. Very underrated but an excellent product for those with sensitive skin. Just purchased my 3rd one - something I never do.
These videos are always so helpful! Thanks for breaking down oil, because it's a bit daunting when your standing in the store trying to decide what to try or what will work best for your particular skin type.
Thanks for providing such an informative video. I suffer from severs eczema and want to add oil to my routine, but I was struggling to get my head around what to use.
I'm not sure if i missed this part in the video but could you guys explain the difference between serums and facial oils? As well as, if you could combine them both together simultaneously? Thanks!
If you have dry-combo skin, but you often get pimples from bacteria getting on your face, how do you prepare it so that you can counter the acne yet hydrate the dry skin? I saw a girl putting on moisturizer at the gas station and about had a heart attack from thinking about all the bacteria she had just touched.. x_x
PLEASE remember to patch test your oils, namely essential oils!! Tea tree and lavender especially are always loved for treating acne but they can be extremely harsh if you don't dilute them properly. Or also you might end up being allergic, like myself! Nothing is worse than having an allergic reaction on top of your acne >.
@@anjagalan6905 From what I've read I've always done 1 drop essential oil to 10 drops carrier oil. I like almond or jojoba oil but you can use hemp, coconut, or even olive. Ofc use caution if coconut oil or something breaks you out, use a different kind. Some people also dilute in water, it depends on what your use is.
I love love love your videos ladies! Awesome work. I wonder though, when you talk about the levels of sebum production during the day,is it the same for people who work at night and sleep during the day? I'd love to hear your response to this
love your channel so much! you videos are always of such high quality and so informative i really appreciate it. I have learnt a lot of great skincare info from you guys xx
I was always told to put facial oil on before moisturizer. But you are saying to put oil on after moisturizer - interesting! I currently use the Tundra Chaga pressed serum moisturizer from Blithe and the Drunk Elephant Marula oil. Will switch them, thanks for the tips :)
Thanks for the super informative video!!! I have a combination oily skin and I've been obsessed with oils recently. I used the Maracuja Oil from Tarte (during winters mostly) and finished the entire bottle. Now, I'm hooked to Rose Hip oil from Ordinary. I love it too. But I use oil directly after my toner. After watching this video I don't know if I'm doing the right thing by applying the rose hip oil right away without a moisturizer on!
I personally find that since i have oily acne prone skin, i dont really need moisturizer, but i need balance of oleic/linoleic acid to make things work correctly. I stopped using moisturizer and switched to rosehip+marula oil and my skin stopped being so clogged
I tried mixing my own oil for skincare in the past but never see a big improvement on my skin. Until recently I used Kiehl's midnight recovery oil which contains various elixir oils for anti-ageing!!!!!!! My wrinkles are less apparent and my skin feels so re-energized! you can read more about the review here --> sowourplanet.com/kiehls-midnight-recovery-review/ I feel so much more confident and younger now!

I have dry skin due to accutane. So I'm using melvita argania oil. Work wonder for me. Non clogging and make my scar fade. Tq for sharing face oil video. I can learn more.
Thanks so much for sharing that with everyone! Great to know that you've found something that working wonders on your skin, it's hard to come by with all the options out there 😂- fel
Hi.. First of all.. I LOOOVE your videos! Second... I heard that essentials oils could harm your skin and its better to avoid them in skincare products. Have your something like that? I have a minor rosacea issue.. Do you think I could use them? I just love the smell!
I have oily and dehydrated skin. I just start using a facial oil. I like Immortelle oil from L’occitane. However, I am confused which step of skincare I should use facial oil, before serum or after serum. Can you advise please?
Hello 🙋, i am the biggest fan of your channel, could you plz guide me which oil should i use, i have oily acne prone sensitive skin, i am facing acne problem for 7-8 years, lots of love from India 🇮🇳 .

I spent years putting whatever oil I was using on as my last step thinking I was "sealing" everything in, and well because that's what the internet told me. I've since changed my ways- catering to the oil- and I've noticed a big difference, and less oil wasted on my pillow. I do think you have to see what works for your skin and there isn't really an explicitly wrong way as neither have negative results, but I do think there's an inherently more beneficial order to apply them depending on what type of oil you are using. But again there's lot of wiggle room as it all depends on your products. What's in your moisturizer, what you want to get out of using the oil etc.
As a general guideline the lighter higher in linoleic acid oils perform at their highest when using before your occlusive moisturizer or mixed, but definitely not after. These oils (rosehip, sunflower, hemp, safflower, primrose, grape seed...) are more unsaturated and actually rebuild the lipid layer and repair the skin barrier while having a lower occlusive nature. If used AFTER, due to the occlusive properties of the moisturizer, the light oil wouldn't penetrate to it's fullest potential, if much at all. As the moisturizer would likely be more occlusive than a more linoleic rich oil. You'd still see benefits but certainly not all it can do.
The more saturated higher in oleic acid oils (avocado, macadamia, shea, almond) have emollient properties also but mostly do their work via their occlusive nature, making sense why these oils would go on last as a sealant. Jojoba and argan are somewhat balanced in linoleic and oliec acids.
I'm stopping there because I just wrote an essay on face oils at 4am, send help.
Thank you so much! You answered my exact question I’ve been searching for days. I’ve been using my sweet almond oil as my last step at night and I didn’t know if I should switch it and use it after toning and before serum or how I’ve been doing it.
This has been helpful! Thanks! I'm looking into making my own facial washes and facial oils, do you know of any resources I can look into?
nala beans What about squalene? 👀
The end of your essay tho😂💀💀 but thank you for the information....I needed it
Hey can someone help me, what oil is best for the glossy/glass skin look? When I wet my face with water I look glowy and shiny but when it dries, even with moisturizer My skin looks dull and boring. Thank you so muc

Yes please!!! Obsessed with scrubs and lotions
Can you please do a video on skincare routines for younger/teen/pre-teen skin?
Great suggestion, we'll see what we can do! 💕😊
@@BeautyWithin Thank you!!!
Just google it!!
Unless you're getting hit hard with puberty early, just keep it mild and maybe a very low concentration of toner to keep oils and pH balanced.
I love facial oils!! My skin is normal but I actually love the ‘glowy’ oily look. I used to use oils as the last step but now I apply it immediately after my serums before my moisturiser. I feel like it helps retain moisture more and I get more benefits from the oil. ❤️
It's great to see this... I have also treated myself. Weedborn oils have helped me a lot.
Hey ladies! Did you know The Ordinary makes a marula facial oil (which is obviously cheaper than the DE one). If it works for a future video can you try it and compare the two?? I'm so excited for more of these 101 videos!
Check Gothamista here on YT. She did this comparison
absolutely! we'll start doing more comparison/vs/dupes videos so keep an eye out 😉 -Ro
They have a Rose hip Oil too. I would love to hear your thoughts in their oils.
I would have loved to hear more about marula oil and The Ordinary oils too.
Yeah compare the ordinary products with other products !
I had to pause to say this “thanks Rowena, Felicia, Mia and the team for all this free information.Don’t know if I have said this before. I am so glad I started my skin care journey with y’all.
Sunscreen....?
I have super sensitive and dry skin; my favorite last step oil is a mix I make of vitamin e oil and sweet almond oil. It's been perfect and hasn't caused any reaction or break outs!
OOooooo both of those are sooo good, my fave as well! And fun fact, our sebum actually contains amounts of vitamin E hehe. So it's like replenishing your skin naturally 😊thanks for sharing! 💞- fel
My tips before using the facial oil is mist your face first until get wet! The oils can penetrate really deeper and sink so fast :)
Thanks so much for sharing!! 💕🙏😊
Beauty Within yeayy 💕💕💕
Same with your moisturizer. Moisturizers are most effective when skin is still damp, as damp skin best absorbs the moisture and locks it in for a longer time. After washing your face, don’t towel-dry. Instead, apply your moisturizer to damp skin, which can help lock in hydration. Use the same technique when it comes to your body as well. Once you hop out of the shower, resist the urge to wrap yourself in a towel for a minute or two longer and apply body lotion while you’re still damp. Pay particular attention to areas like your knees, elbows, and feet, which tend to get drier and rougher than the skin on the rest of your bod.
I have dry, sensitive, mature skin and I use the CeraVe Moisturizing Cream (water-based) on my whole body from head to toes. I use this method and my skin has never been happier. When I used it on my DRY skin, it felt like it just sat on the surface of my skin with attitude. On WET skin, the dampness of my skin helps the slip in my application and I use a fraction of product and it melts right in!
Belinda Vega so when do i use toner? I thought toner first after mousturizer?
I have always had extremely oily skin. By mid day my forehead, nose, and cheeks would be a gross waterfall of grease. I always stayed away from oils and never saw a change. Last month I started adding a facial oil that I bought from target designed to hydrate added over my water gel moisturizer. And it completely changed my skin. I have no excess oil like none. I wish I started years ago.
Guys can you do a review and tell us the different between aveeno, cerave, cetaphil and first aid beauty?
Or anyone in here have tried those products? What the different? What is your favorite?
A. Cerave and cetaphil are very similar, good for people with eczema or on roaccutane or just with sensitive skin. They are recommended by doctors/derms
Aveeno is just really moisturising and doesn’t have any additives
First aid beauty has a range of different products that all do different things
Cerave is the best!!! I use it as my cleanser and as my base moisturizer because it’s mild enough and hydrating to combine with my more complicated serums and oils.
My face broke out with Aveeno, while Cetaphil is a little drying and doesn’t make your skin as moisturized as Cerave. I swear to Cerave products, they can’t be underestimated!
Learn to read ingredients and choose accordingly. No one in life is going to hold your hand and think for you.
Go watch Dr Drays channel. She walks u through them all.
I swear by the Aveeno moisturizing bar soap for my face. Oat is the first ingredient out of about ten which is awesome. It leaves my skin clean and smooth without drying. I also can’t live without their makeup removing wipes. My sister uses the aveeno spf 30 moisturizer and from trying it out, it’s just OK. I’m not a fan of two in one spf/moist.’s. Aveeno has a few awesome products just with anything, be weary of the ingredients list. Pull your phone out while shopping to search each individual ingredient if you have to. The more effort you put into familiarizing yourself with ingredients, the easier it will be to discern what is right/wrong for your skin. And it does get easier 😊
your videos are a god send. there are so so so many skin care videos done by random people who have no idea what they're talking about and they do a poor job of explaining everything. you do so much more than just recommend random, sponsored products. you really explain the whole process and why each product is important, why it's good or bad for you. it's so refreshing to finally have found a channel that really helps you understand skincare.
I have suuuuper sensitive (mature) skin so most of my regimen is treatment oils that I put together myself. It actually saves you hella dough to research your skin needs (acne-prone, redness, dry, etc) and target things that might work for your personal needs and make your own mixtures. Very few of them have extremely short shelf lives and it really pays off in the end to have good ingredients that your know are sourced well. You don't need a long list of oils for a good personal mix. The key to buying good oil well: Purchase the highest quality you can afford and always buy Cold-pressed, pure, unrefined oils with no additives.
Example of a dope EASY and cost-effective dupe: TARTE's Maracuja Oil is literally only Maracuja Oil and Vitamin E - likely just a dash for added shelf life which isn't really necessary when making your own mix. Maracuja Oil is intended to nourish and soothe mature, dry, parched or irritated skin. It is also highly recommended in scalp and hair care products to encourage healthy hair growth and increased vitality.
Seriously, keeping the recipe small saves you money in the long run, and it helps keep your mix more stable. Just target your wants/ needs, test them out and see if they play well with your skin, and you'll have a winner for life.
I like my day oils to be fast-absorbing, moisturizing and protecting. The more the antioxidants, the better the protection as they fight-off free radicals activated by the sun’s UV rays. For night, relax and replenish. My preferred night oils are extremely nourishing with good fatty acid content as they repair the lipid barrier of the skin that might be affected by harsh environmental stressors during the day and restore lost moisture. There are also oils which have potent anti-aging compounds like phytochemicals which repair skin and reverse or prevent signs of aging.
Also, it seems that many are clueless about what can and cannot be mixed. Don't rock an AHA with a separate Vitamin C serum, use one for daytime (Vit C) and one at night (AHA) otherwise your skin will get super peeved. Beware, but play and have fun with it!
Also, some really loved moisturizers already have great oils mixed in. Read your labels and get to know what might love you back and why.
Example: Both FIRST AID BEAUTY's Ultra Repair® Cream Intense Hydration and KIEHL's Ultra Facial Cream both include SQUALANE in the mix (yay!) so you know both are awesome for hydration! (* FIRST AID BEAUTY's Ultra Repair® Cream Intense Hydration has Squalane derived from plants, and KIEHL's Ultra Facial Cream has Squalane derived from olives.)
Now, if you have super finicky skin that irritates the former might be an even better choice for you as it also includes Colloidal Oatmeal (an FDA-designated skin protectant that relieves itching and minor irritation caused by eczema, rashes, and other skin conditions) and Allantoin (Calms and soothes skin).
Here's a great Huda Beauty article on how to make your own oil mixes for a fraction of the price of some of the high ticket options:
hudabeauty.com/2018/04/09/the-ultimate-face-oil-diys-for-your-skin-type/
I 100% Agree!! I purchase organic oils & serums online from iherb, derm store & occasionally Amazon. They are so much cheaper.
This is by far the most effective product for me and it's not heavy on my skin. I used it on my face for my wrinkles. Great support! thank you for the lifetime discount!
Look ladies I usually don't leave comments on tutorials, just watch take what I want and leave, but today I just can't. Your channel is literally the best I've ever seen! You are giving so much useful explanations and advices... Thank you so much
😭🙏🏻💕 this means so much Keishia, thank you so much!! -Ro
Omg! I’ve been using my oils the complete opposite!!! I’ve always applied my oil right after toning. I thought it would penetrate better that way, since I have EXTREMELY dry flaky skin all around my mouth and jaw line. So, I’m supposed to add it with my moisturizer or after, right? I currently add two drops of tea tree oil to my Purity moisturizer because I have a bad case of hormonal cystic acne, and the tea tree oil really helps with taming the acne, BUT I still get flakes a few hours after my skin has sucked up all the moisture. D: Maybe once I start using the oil as my last step (before sunscreen) my flakes will go away. (Fingers crossed). Thank you for this video Rowena and Felicia!! 🙏🏼💜
I ditched dairy and now my skin is clear. Check out Dr. Mark Hyman and Rawkristina.
Can you guys do one for eye cream?
YESSS! We have one coming up in a couple of weeks, so stay tuned for that heheh. It's super interesting, and relates to the entire body! 🤓 Thanks for the comment and for watching the vid early! - fel 😘
According to dermatologists, you don’t actually need eye creams. Just use your regular moisturizer. It’s a marketing ploy.
@@RT-1100 yeah many products are just baits. But not all. Also, UVA and UVB do damage (burn) the skin (and kill collagen) and can cause (help form) cancer. Anyway, the best is to look at everything with a healthy amount of skepticism.
@pou Sweetheart, yes, the skincare & makeup industry are Multi Billion dollar Markets. HOWEVER...I am 51 years old & RUINED my skin tanning & not using sunscreen !!! I have learned more in the past year about skin care than I have in the last 30. I suggest you watch Dr Dray & Dr Sam Bunting. The products I've switched to, using their recommendations, have been Game Changers for my skin issues!😉
Beauty Within what kind of skincare oils can we refrigerate? For the new trend the skincare refrigerator look it up on here on TH-cam
I didn't thought oils were necessary but now after watching this I will definitely incorporate oils in my skincare routine. You guys really give lots of information in detail I really love it. Thank you.
Am I alone in my love for medicinal-smelling skin care? I think it heightens my confidence in it. Like I trust it more because it’s medicine! And no fragrance is what my sensitive skin wants. Basically if it smells good (or at least if there’s a particularly strong scent) I get kinda weary of the product on my skin.
And you are right. I should make a video between allergies and irritations...
I loved this series, I've learned so much from you THANK YOU so much!!! I'll be a lot more aware of what products I'm putting in my face thanks to you 😊
How have I never seen you guys before? You have completely educated me on why I itch every single time I use coconut, olive, even almond... I’ve been doing it wrong all these yeeears... I use almond oil as a oil cleansing method, but I’m always so oily at the end of the day. I have combination/oily skin. I never guessed this was why... I never completely cleared up. It did help with my breakouts a bit, but I still suffer from adult acne. Even after getting massages when they would use certain oils (olive, almond, coconut) my back would completely break out. Now I know why. Holy crap.... thanks girls I’m a subie for life please keep these videos coming...You guys should make your own skin care line.... I’m here for it honies.... thank you thank you... I can’t wait to try these new tips.... I hope they work for me.. 🥺
taking about oils, for eyebrows, girls, keratin oil! saved my eyebrows, really. Massage every day and you'll start seeing slight improvement within 2 weeks, but you need to stick to it for a few months to actually see a good difference.
This series were so so so helpful! It's so amazing you worked so hard to give us all the knowledge
I found this channel because of Rowena and I’m so grateful I found it! Rowena and Felicia are a delight to watch, they give information in a way that’s very easy to follow and digest. Also I love skincare so this is seriously one of my favorite channels on TH-cam!!! Thank you both for all of your hard work xoxo
Awww this means a lot, thank you so much!! We're just happy you guys are enjoying it and learning lots from the vids! We just want to highlight what all these products really are and what they do, and if you really need them because so much of it is just marketing, and taking your money 😂Thanks so much for the comment, we love you! 💞
So I just found your channel and I'M OBSESSED!!! I love that you guys have the science behind it, too. I'm totally binging on AALLLLLL your videos but I did want to add (on the off chance you'll actually read this comment) is that your skin doesn't "get used" to products. When the LUNA oil doesn't give you any more improvement, it means you've exhausted it's benefits and need to either increase your frequency of use for every day OR bump up to a higher level of retinol. ... So excited to see the rest of the vids!
Yeeeeaaaa, I’ve definitely been using jojoba oil as my moisturizer lately, lol. I usually moisturize with aloe vera gel but I don’t have any so I cleanse, tone, then apply oil. I recently just ordered sunscreen too (I’ve never used it before) soooo I kinda wanna use that in place of a moisturizer. My skin is oily/combo so I don’t want too much crap on my face. Just wanna keep it simple.
I have so many questions!!!! One of them is: are we supposed to be using Cleanser, Toner, Exfoliates, Serums, Moisturizers, and Oils EVERY DAY!?!?! Night and Day routines?! Can you guys make a video on when to use these products?
This pure Moroccan oil gives life to my hair and my skin. My hair was so dry and now its shining. It also moisturizes my skin and no any side effects. a must try product.
Hazelnut oil has been used for oily skin and minimizing the size of pores because of its unique properties. A high content of catechins and tannins (healthy flavonoids) make this oil a “dry” oil that feels smooth and toning on the skin. Its properties help balance oils and make your pores appear smaller.
i use hemp and/or rosehip to oil cleanse bc i have extremely sensitive combo acne/rosacea prone skin and it has literally changed my skin’s life 🤎
Thanks so much for this video! I was hesitant to use face oils in my routine, since my skin is already combination oily and I thought it would make it worse. This video helped clear things up!
Thank you ladies so much for this info. I’ve always loved using oils, now o have more of a grasp of what and how I should use them.
I’m waiting for my Mizon Snail 🐌 repair set and I’m so ready to try the whole Korean skin care regimen.
I have acne prone/mature skin (I’ll be 38 next Saturday) so I have scars, fine lines, wrinkles, dark under eyes, the whole negative shabang. 😳
I’m hoping the Korean skin care will help. Wish me good luck 👍🏽
I have oily skin and because of the low linoleic acid count due to this condition, a facial oil rich in linoleic acid would balance the hydration level just fine. So I guess I can use grapeseed oil.
Grapeseed Oil also has tocopherol (vitamin E) and is rich in other antioxidants. 😍 I will make it as the last part of my daily skincare routine.
I live in a tropical country which is super humid and hot all year long. Thus, I always have to use the oil and moisturizer alternatively. If I use them together, ooh la la!!!!
I appreciate how much you guys bring in research and science to your videos! There's so many people that talk about the product and don't say much else other than "I like it." I have a much better understanding of products when I watch your videos!
i love how your channel is done girls! filled with the whole range of knowledge needed on the topic with examples of products AND ALL THAT IN A FUN WAY
love you 💜💜💜
I use to have really oily skin but that completely changed once i started using rosehip oil and bio oil for my scars. I now use avocado and almond oil for my body and could never go back to using normal body moisturizers 💜
I have oily skin as well and noticed that when I use the rosehip at night mixed with my moisturizer I woke up to less oily skin which is good but then I noticed my skin actually started getting flakey and dry. Do you think my skin just needs to adjust? Did you experience any dryness? Should I put the oil on last instead of mixing it into my moisturizer?
@@nickilubra3981 maybe try using a smaller amount of oil so that your skin can build its tolerance. then after a couple of weeks slowly use a little bit more oil. this is what I did and my skin didn't break out from using it
@@chelseabateman7601 I'll try that,thanks 😊
I ve been binge watching your channel since yesterday, I discovered a real passion for skincare i love what you guys are doing ❤
Bio-oil is a great way to use on both face and body. It has vitamin A and E and a compination of lavender and chamomile essential oil. Almond also is a universal oil generally used for body messages and is great for skin care. Winter is a great time for oil use during the day. 😉❤❤
I am using Essence Of Argan Oil for my face it's so beautiful
Lips! Can you do a video on lip care and recomendations! I live in area where it could get -25°C at winter and +25°C during summer, thus the weather difference is extreame over the year. I would love a video that takes weather difference into account. Cheers! :)
I love how this channel's videos are so informative! I want to see what you guys think about the brand Biossance. It is one of my favorite brands for facial oils
Fel loves the oil! We haven't gotten the chance to try the other products yet but we'll def work Biossance into one of our videos reviewing most hyped & popular products :) -Ro
@@BeautyWithin oh great to hear! Thank you❤
I use pure coconut oil to clean my waterproof mascara, and is the only thing that actually works without rubbing and irritating my eyes, micellar water and then a cream cleanser. I love marula and rose oil for after.
Thanks so much for sharing that with us!! Caster oil was Rowena's version of you using Vaseline. I had so much trouble getting vas off my face when I used it to remove makeup hahah. I learned the hard way that a little goes a long way 😅😅 - fel
jojoba oil is my literal lifeblood. i used to have really bad acne and when i started using a really good AHA/BHA, it made my skin super dehydrated so it was oily and dry/flaky at the same time. i started using jojoba twice a day, every day, and my skin is so nice now. on top of it being good at controlling oil, you get this really nice natural glow to your skin without your face getting extra greasy throughout the day.
I agree that every skin type is better using different applications. For me I can't use oils at all my pores are too large and oil settles right in and makes them huge! But, I can use the cleansing oil as a a waxy tip cleanser my pores before using a second cleanser to close my pores
I love Ciracle and DHC Deep Cleansing Oils, only use those to remove makeup and then follow up with a gentle face wash for double cleanse
I would love it if you guys did a peach and lily collection review. I have quite a few of their collection on my shopping list, but I can’t find many videos about it. Their wild dew essence, luxe beam oil, and glass skin serum sound interesting. Anyway, love your videos! Super glad that I found this channel :)
Peach and lily pure beam luxe oil**
I do not hope that I am the only one that have experienced it yet and can admit it, but can you maybe make a video about facial hair and what are the best ways to deal with it. For example does laser treatment work and how long does it takes to lead to an effect of less facial hair? What are the alternatives; bleach, hair removal creme and consequences of for example shaving with those small white machines heads that are currently advertised on Facebook and maybe also other social media. Is it best just to poke out the facial hair with a pincet or does that irritate the skin to much like hair removal creme can do? Further what are the possible reasons of visible facial hair on women and can specific changes in diet or medication change the hormones for example testosterone that maybe can lead to grow of visible facial hair.
I have oily, acne prone skin and I have used Rosehip oil here and there in the past, but recently I read that while it was great for fading PIH marks, that it should "NEVER" be applied to active breakouts. Have you guys ever heard this or know why that might be?
Looking for skin care, for me is Essence Of Argan oil. The oil gives a very good result to my skin, it hydrate my skin so well.
a video on hair growth and maintenance would be could!!
congrats great job explaining the chemical part of it :)
15:03 - Omega 3 and Omega 6 are linoleic acid. They are quite different actually. Omega 3 is alpha-linolenic, whereas Omega 6 is linoleic. To get the optimal skin results, the ratio of the two should be as close to optimal as well.
Can you guys please do hair care and best body moisturiser videos! Bleach blonde hair care routine if you can! Love your channel 😍
I love your videos. They’re so educational. You guys got me into facial oils. 😂 I have oily skin and for months I was hesitant about using facial oils and I recently purchase the Drunk Elephant Marula oil and I’m in love with it. Thanks for all the info and great tips.
Surprised you didn’t mention Camelia Oil!!! Tatcha makes an amazing Camelia Oil that is so perfect, I love it!!!!
Love your channel!!! Awesome video!!! You guys did an amazing job on this series!!!
Hope you guys can talk about which part of the routine should treatment oils be in. Like say for example TO Retinol in Squalane, Biossance Vit C Rose Oil. I think a lot of people, newbies and even some skincare veterans, still gets confused on whether treatment oils should be used before or after moisturizers :)
Felicia can post a video on how you do your hair?? i love the effortless curls/waves!
Aw thank youu! I might do that on an IG video for you soon then! It's actually super easy 😊 - fel
Yes, looking forward to setting sprays please.
I don't wear makeup but being looking for setting spray that would go on top of my sunscreen and mattify without drying.
I've been applying oils wrong! I normally do it right before moisturizer before I go to bed. I will change that!
Or you can mix them with your moisturizer or only apply them on specific areas... I explain how in my review of The Ordinary Natural moisturizing factors.
ESSENCE OF ARGAN OIL is the best to be used for both oily and dry skin. Must try!
This series is amazing! I've learned so much. A video I think a lot of people would love to see would be all about masks! Powder, fresh, packaged, etc.
can you guys make a video on the oil cleansing method, but I don't mean double-cleansing. I mean using oil to wash your face after makeup is off. People say its really good for getting rid of acne
Hi! Question: Do you put sunscreen before or after a facial oil? Also it is better to use oils at night than day? Thanks☺
This was way more informative and valid than I dare to expect from youtube!
One request: I'd love if you would mention if the product was naturally sertified (USDA or any European sertificates) or if they were synthetic with natural ingredients. I know the system doesn't work as effectively in the States but it would raise the meaning of the sertificates and be more clear for people thet only use sertified cosmetics.
Than you for making well explained, evident videos like this one!
Love DE's Marula oil for my dry skin. It works well with any moisturizer I've tried. Just ordered The Ordinary's version - fingers crossed it's just as good.
We're also in the middle of trying out the DE marula oil too! We should share notes after 😛- fel
@@BeautyWithin Well, I woke up with a pimple on my cheek today (the most sensitive part of my face). But I'm not convinced it's the Marula oil. Think it was the
Paula's Choice CLINICAL Ultra-Rich Moisturizer I've been using. So I went back to my Dr. Roebuck's No Worries moisturizer just to confirm.
Oh, you guys should review the Dr. Roebuck's No Worries. Very underrated but an excellent product for those with sensitive skin. Just purchased my 3rd one - something I never do.
These videos are always so helpful! Thanks for breaking down oil, because it's a bit daunting when your standing in the store trying to decide what to try or what will work best for your particular skin type.
Love y’all! Constantly putting out great content. I look forward to uploads every week. Thanks for the information on facial oils. I was curious!!
Aww this means a lot, thanks so much!! We appreciate youu watching and commenting! Glad you feel more confident with oils now heheh 😊 - fel
Thanks for providing such an informative video. I suffer from severs eczema and want to add oil to my routine, but I was struggling to get my head around what to use.
I'm not sure if i missed this part in the video but could you guys explain the difference between serums and facial oils? As well as, if you could combine them both together simultaneously? Thanks!
If you have dry-combo skin, but you often get pimples from bacteria getting on your face, how do you prepare it so that you can counter the acne yet hydrate the dry skin?
I saw a girl putting on moisturizer at the gas station and about had a heart attack from thinking about all the bacteria she had just touched.. x_x
PLEASE remember to patch test your oils, namely essential oils!! Tea tree and lavender especially are always loved for treating acne but they can be extremely harsh if you don't dilute them properly. Or also you might end up being allergic, like myself! Nothing is worse than having an allergic reaction on top of your acne >.
How to dilute them?
@@anjagalan6905 From what I've read I've always done 1 drop essential oil to 10 drops carrier oil. I like almond or jojoba oil but you can use hemp, coconut, or even olive. Ofc use caution if coconut oil or something breaks you out, use a different kind. Some people also dilute in water, it depends on what your use is.
@@peachykeenqueen72 I have a jojoba oil and coconut oil. I'll try researching and experimenting on the mixtures. :) Thank you for this.
If we wanna use 2 oils, like one for acne/pores and one for anti aging,how do we use it?
Alternative nights or mix together?
i am using the essence of Argan oil for my face and it's an amazing product ,very effective
I love love love your videos ladies! Awesome work.
I wonder though, when you talk about the levels of sebum production during the day,is it the same for people who work at night and sleep during the day? I'd love to hear your response to this
love your channel so much! you videos are always of such high quality and so informative i really appreciate it. I have learnt a lot of great skincare info from you guys xx
I was always told to put facial oil on before moisturizer. But you are saying to put oil on after moisturizer - interesting! I currently use the Tundra Chaga pressed serum moisturizer from Blithe and the Drunk Elephant Marula oil. Will switch them, thanks for the tips :)
Thanks for the super informative video!!! I have a combination oily skin and I've been obsessed with oils recently. I used the Maracuja Oil from Tarte (during winters mostly) and finished the entire bottle. Now, I'm hooked to Rose Hip oil from Ordinary. I love it too. But I use oil directly after my toner. After watching this video I don't know if I'm doing the right thing by applying the rose hip oil right away without a moisturizer on!
Is it ok to put on facial oils in the morning if you have oily skin? Or is it preferred to put on in the night?
thanks so much for your recommendations! because of you guys i tried out crave beauty and it's hands down the best purchase i ever made!!
Great video on demystifying face oils, a lot of misconceptions on what they are and how to use them. I learned a lot
I personally find that since i have oily acne prone skin, i dont really need moisturizer, but i need balance of oleic/linoleic acid to make things work correctly. I stopped using moisturizer and switched to rosehip+marula oil and my skin stopped being so clogged
Hey girlies! I was wondering if you can make a video on the different vitamin oils and their benefits such as vitamin A, C, D, E etc. ❤️
When do you use essential oils? Before or after moisturizing your face?
How do you layer the sunscreen after applying oils ? Does the oil interfere with the sunscreen ?
using essence of argan oil for the last few months it's an amazing product
I was just thinking about how to use oils in my skin care! Thank you!!
Woow yayyyy perfect timing heheh! Hope it all makes a bit more sense now 😊 - fel
I tried mixing my own oil for skincare in the past but never see a big improvement on my skin. Until recently I used Kiehl's midnight recovery oil which contains various elixir oils for anti-ageing!!!!!!! My wrinkles are less apparent and my skin feels so re-energized! you can read more about the review here --> sowourplanet.com/kiehls-midnight-recovery-review/ I feel so much more confident and younger now!

You forgot to mention that jojoba oil is best at removing blackhead/whitehead as well😍😍
i am using the essence of argan oil and it's very effective love it
Can you do a review on The Ordinary skin and hair products? I've been super curious about it since it's such a hype last year.
Hi.. First of all.. I LOOOVE your videos! Second... I heard that essentials oils could harm your skin and its better to avoid them in skincare products. Have your something like that? I have a minor rosacea issue.. Do you think I could use them? I just love the smell!
I have oily and dehydrated skin. I just start using a facial oil. I like Immortelle oil from L’occitane. However, I am confused which step of skincare I should use facial oil, before serum or after serum. Can you advise please?
Hello 🙋, i am the biggest fan of your channel, could you plz guide me which oil should i use, i have oily acne prone sensitive skin, i am facing acne problem for 7-8 years, lots of love from India 🇮🇳 .
