LET’S TALK ABOUT plant-based FACe OILS.
I was once skeptical of adding a facial oil to my skincare routine. If I have oily skin, why would I put more oil on my face? Won’t it clog my pores? Aren’t serums and moisturizers enough? I think facial oils get a bad rep because many of us don’t understand their benefits or how to use them.
If you’re not getting the glowy, hydrated, and healthy complexion you’re looking for from just serums and moisturizers, a face oil might be the skincare ingredient you need to amp up your routine. Facial oil is suitable for ALL skin types! Once I started using La Coess’s REVITALISÉ Face Oil, I fell in love with the instant glow and hydration it gave my skin (where have you been all my life!?).
Although there are many plant-based facial oils these days, not all of them are created equal. Keep reading to learn more about the benefits of face oils and my review of La Coéss,
Why i love face oils
Nourishes the skin with essential nutrients
Plant-based oils are filled with essential fatty acids, vitamins, and antioxidants that help maintain moisture, strengthen the skin’s protective barrier, and prevent free radical damage. Over time, they help address concerns like dullness, sun damage, and dryness.
Improves hydration
Facial oils can also be used in place of moisturizers or under a moisture to help prevent water loss in dehydrated skin and boost your moisturizer’s hydrating efforts. Oils provide occlusion, which means they help seal-in moisture that is already there.
Imparts a glowing, plumped and refreshed look
Oils easily pass through the lipid layers of the skin, preventing water loss and creating an immediate plumping action. When I use a few drops of facial oil, my skin immediately looks hydrated, glowy, and healthy.
review: REVITALISÉ Nutrient Organic Face Oil
My absolute favorite facial oil is from La Coéss, a luxurious and clean beauty brand based in Portland, Oregon. Their signature face oil, REVITALISÉ feels lightweight and silky smooth and gives my complexion an immediate glow! See below why I’m hooked!
Potent and effective ingredients
Made with 15 organic and nutrient-dense botanicals from around the world and crafted in micro-batches, REVITALISÉ is formulated to deliver powerful vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, antioxidants, and omega fatty acids to your skin. It easily glides on my skin and leaves me with a radiant complexion.
Adds luxury to your routine
I use REVITALISÉ Organic Face Oil in the morning and night, right before my moisturizer. All I need is a few drops, but adding this step to my skincare routine makes it feel like a luxurious ritual that restores, protects, and balances my skin.
Beautiful and elegant packaging
REVITALISÉ is packaged in a stylish glass jar with a wood oil dropper that brings a sense of luxury and nature to my skincare routine.
Clean ingredients
No parabens, colorants, additives, mineral or palm oils, sulfates, phthalates, GMOs, synthetic fragrances, endocrine disruptors, dyes, alcohol, pesticides, or toxins of any kind. All ingredients are sustainably sourced.
The price is $108 (it’s a luxury brand) but 1) you only need a few drops at a time and 2) the quality of ingredients, the formula, and the blending process all make it worth the price.
