Frequently asked questions
What is an oil cleanser and how does it differ from other cleansers?
An oil cleanser is a type of facial cleanser that is formulated with oils. Unlike traditional foaming cleansers that strip the skin of its natural oils, oil cleansers work by breaking down oil-based impurities, such as makeup, sunscreen and sebum, and then rinsing them away with water.
How do i use an oil cleanser in my skincare routine?
To use an oil cleanser, start by massaging a small amount of the product onto dry skin using your fingers. Rub the oil into your skin in circular motions for a minute or two, focusing on areas where you have heavy makeup or buildup, including around the eye area. Then, wet your face with warm water and continue to massage the oil into your skin until it emulsifies into a milky consistency. Finally, rinse your face thoroughly with water.
Is an oil cleanser suitable for all skin types, including oily skin?
Yes, oil cleansers can be suitable for all skin types, including oily skin. While it may seem counterintuitive to use oil on oily skin, the right oil cleanser can actually help regulate sebum production and prevent breakouts. Our Oil Cleanser is formulated with lightweight, non-comedogenic oils that won't clog your pores and act as an anti-inflammatory.
Can an oil cleanser be used to remove makeup effectively?
Yes, oil cleansers can be effective for removing makeup, including heavy and waterproof makeup. The oils used in oil cleansers are able to break down and dissolve silicone and oil-based impurities, making it easier to remove makeup without harsh scrubbing or tugging at the skin.
Are there any specific oils that are best for oil cleansing?
There is no one "best" oil for oil cleansing, as the most effective oil for you will depend on your individual skin type and concerns. However, here are a few oils that are considered non-comedogenic, with a balanced ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acids that are capable of soothing irritated skin and acting as powerful antioxidations that we have included in our formula including Jojoba Seed Oil, Grapeseed Oil, Apple seed Oil, Oat Kernel Oil and Pomegranate Seed Oil.
