Facial oil serums can be a great addition to your skincare routine, but it’s important to use them correctly.
Steps of skin care routine with facial oil-based serums.
Cleanse your face
Before applying your serum, thoroughly cleanse your face with a suitable cleanser.
Remove dirt, oil, and makeup so that the serum can absorb effectively.
Tone your skin
Use a toner, if it’s part of your routine, to restore your skin’s pH level and prepare it for the serum.
Apply moisturizer (optional)
If you have very dry skin or want extra hydration, apply moisturizer before oil serum. Oil can also replace your moisturizer if it’s already rich enough.
Apply your serum to damp skin
Oil serums absorb better when your skin is slightly damp. Apply your serum immediately after washing or toning, or after moisturizer.
Use a small amount
A few drops (2-4 drops) are enough.
Warm the oil between your palms and gently apply to your face using your palms or fingertips.
Massage into skin
Lightly massage the serum into your skin in a circular motion to stimulate circulation and help the serum absorb deeper.
Use according to the time of day
Morning routine: Use an oil serum as the last step before sunscreen to ensure your skin is hydrated and protected.
Evening routine: Use an oil after cleansing and applying a serum or moisturizer to help rebuild your skin’s barrier overnight.
Adjust usage according to your skin type
For dry skin: Use daily.
For oily skin: Choose lighter oils (like jojoba or grapeseed oil) and use less often if needed.
For sensitive skin: Make sure the serum is formulated for your skin type and start with a small amount.
Additional tips:
Apply immediately after washing or showering to lock in moisture.
Do not overdo it, as too much oil can clog pores.
If you experience any unusual reactions, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist.
Which serum should I use?
An oil-based facial serum is suitable when you need deep nourishment, moisture retention, skin smoothing and protection against skin dryness. It is a great solution in winter, dry climates and at night.
A water-based serum is a good choice if you are looking for targeted solutions, such as reducing pigmentation or hydrating the skin, especially for oily skin.
To get the maximum benefit, many people use both serums together: first a water-based serum, then an oil-based serum to lock in moisture and the active ingredients delivered.
