Let's talk about oils!
This time we will focus on oils. Not just any oils, but those specifically designed for the skin. They are experiencing a significant boom in cosmetic care and you can find them on the shelves of most households - not just among women. But! Are you sure you are using them correctly and fully harnessing their potential? To start, we will reveal that oil alone is not enough…
Oiling, Oil, We Oil!
You use face oil diligently every day, but your skin still feels dry and lifeless. Over time, you gave up and ran away from this care just like you would from the tongue twister above. We will show you where to find the last hidden piece of this facial puzzle. :)
Important fact: Oils themselves are not moisturizing! Does that not make sense? But it’s true. They work completely differently than classic moisturizing creams. Their role is to create a protective barrier and soften the skin; therefore, simply applying oils is not enough. The skin needs hydration; otherwise, it loses its elasticity, firmness, and ages prematurely.
Trick!
How to achieve hydrated skin using oils? Hydrosol and water! Always apply oil to damp skin. The hydrosol will be your faithful accomplice and provide the necessary hydration to the skin. The oil actually works on a locking principle, trapping all the moisture obtained from the liquid in the skin.
That’s not all; comedogenicity and skin type also play a significant role here. Plant oils are classified by comedogenic levels (0-5), where zero represents the lowest risk of clogging pores (causing acne) and five represents the highest risk. For example, argan oil, castor oil, or jojoba oil have a comedogenic rating of zero, while wheat germ oil has a rating of five, and coconut oil is often mistakenly recommended for regular skin care, but it ranks poorly. We recommend it only for the body, for dry skin, and for healing fresh scars.
We have considered the comedogenicity of oils from the very beginning of our production, so you don't have to worry about our facial oils! We care about you and will make your selection much easier. In the Almara Soap offer, you will find facial oils categorized directly by skin type, making it easy for you to discover the right option!
BLOOM
Oil specially crafted for mature skin that needs care and does not have issues with clogged pores! It contains richer, highly nourishing cold-pressed oils - macadamia, Brazil nut, wheat germ oil, and extra virgin olive oil. They smooth, soften the skin, and help maintain its elasticity and freshness. The secret ingredient is a unique herbal macerate in sunflower oil made from rose, mallow, thyme, and horsetail, along with essences of geranium, orange, and patchouli, which together enhance the positive effects of the oils on mature skin and give the oil a wonderful scent.
GLOW
An elixir of the most beneficial care for dry and sensitive skin prone to irritation! It contains cold-pressed oils that effectively moisturize dry skin without clogging pores. Glow features calming hemp oil, regenerating and antioxidant-rich macadamia oil, poppy oil which positively affects wrinkles, and argan oil for beauty and velvety softness. A unique addition is a herbal macerate in sunflower oil from marigold, clover, rose, and mallow, along with essences of orange, cananga, and lavender, which together support the mentioned positive effects of the oils on dry and delicate skin and give the oil a wonderful scent.
PURITY
Specially blended for oily skin, which may suffer from imperfections and enlarged clogged pores! Purity contains only lightweight cold-pressed oils - hemp, grape seed, hazelnut, and argan oil, which provide problematic skin with the necessary softness and nourishment without weighing it down or causing pore clogging. You will also feel the effects of the herbal macerate in sunflower oil from licorice, sage, and thyme, which help cleanse the skin, combat acne, and regulate sebum production, along with tea tree and rosemary essences, known for their antibacterial and astringent properties.
Apply all types of oils to damp skin, ideally after using our hydrosols. Thanks to this trick, moisture will stay where it belongs! :)
For mature skin, we recommend pairing Bloom oil with a hydrosol of lemon balm or rose. For dry and sensitive skin, also consider lavender. For oily skin, lavender or sage is ideal.
So, now you know how to do it!
