Facial oil in your skincare routine

Frequently Asked Questions

When should you use facial oil?

Facial oil is typically applied as the final step in your skincare routine. It’s essential to apply lighter products first, such as toners and serums, before moving on to richer formulas. Facial oil helps to seal in hydration and enhances the effects of the previous skincare steps. It is particularly effective as part of your nighttime routine, locking in moisture and preventing overnight dehydration.

Is facial oil suitable for all skin types?

Yes! Facial oil can be beneficial for every skin type, provided you choose the right oil that suits your skin’s specific needs. The belief that facial oils are only for dry skin is a misconception. Lightweight oils like jojoba oil and squalane are perfect for oily skin, as they mimic the skin’s natural sebum and help regulate oil production. Rich, nourishing oils like rosehip oil are excellent for dry skin, providing deep hydration and strengthening the skin barrier.

Glass Skin on the Runway: The Influence of K-Beauty

The trend of a luminous, hydrated complexion has long been a K-beauty staple, where 'glass skin', also known as yuri pibu, symbolizes deeply hydrated and well-nourished skin.

But when Maison Margiela’s SS24 runway show introduced the 'ultra glass skin look', the internet exploded. Suddenly, everyone on TikTok and Instagram wanted to know: How do you achieve that dewy, glazed skin before bed? Or for a glowy daytime look, but then with a lightweight SPF on top, of course! A great option is this one from Beauty of Joseon.

If pure facial oil feels too heavy for you, try mixing a few drops with your moisturizer or serum, and gradually build up its use. Applying it on slightly damp skin allows for optimal absorption and gives you a natural glass skin glow.

Which Oil Matches Your Skin Type?

Dry Skin

Rosehip oil is known for its deeply nourishing and reparative properties. It strengthens the skin barrier, providing a healthy glow while reducing dry patches and fine lines.

 

Oily Skin

Jojoba oil closely mimics the skin’s natural sebum, helping to regulate oil production. It hydrates without clogging pores or leaving a greasy finish—ideal for skin that tends to look shiny or is prone to breakouts.

 

Sensitive Skin

Sensitive skin benefits from soothing ingredients such as camellia seed oil and sunflower seed oil. These oils help reduce redness and irritation while reinforcing the skin barrier against external stressors.

 

Mature Skin

Looking to improve skin elasticity and reduce fine lines? Neroli oil helps boost skin firmness, leaving it fresh and radiant. This is the perfect choice for mature skin that needs an extra anti-aging boost.

 

 

The Finishing Touch

Facial oil is the last step in your skincare routine and provides instant hydration and glow. Whether you prefer a subtle radiance or want to achieve the ultimate glass skin look, the right facial oil gives you the best of both worlds—healthy, nourished skin with a beautiful finish. 

But for those who want to achieve that glass skin, doll-like makeup look in just minutes, legendary makeup artist Pat McGrath, who introduced the glass skin aesthetic on the Maison Margiela SS24 runway, has her own shortcut, the Skin Fetish 001. 

But if you want both the glow and the healthy skin, a good facial oil remains the real secret formula. ;)
