Face Oils - Which One - I Need Help Please

Mistic — Wed, 02 Jan 2019 19:23:05 GMT

Looking at Facial Oils. Which one to get? SKINN has two, a Lipid Oil and a Midnight Oil. Dr. D has a Lipid Oil. Is there one that is more effective than another? I see quite a difference in prices, with SKINN'S 2 bottles for the price of one, as opposed to the price of Dr. Denese.

I've got reallyy dry skin, and want to give the Oils a try, but don't have a clue as which to try 1st. I have tried Josie's Argon, and it made me feel so greasy, I just could not stand it.

Yes, I have looked at the ingredients. Holy Smokes. The more I look at them, the more confused I get.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You - Mistic

If you are after Argon oil, save some money and buy Trader Joe's Organic Argon. Rosehips is a great face oil. Do some research and see what suits your needs. You don't have to spend big money.

@MisticYou may find your skin responds well to using a blend of oils as opposed to one specific oil. I do use Josie Maran's Argan Oil, but also use others occasionally, which I usually purchase from Shea Terra. My favorite from Shea Terra is their Desert Date, but I also buy their rose hips oil. I like olive oil and usually purchase that from DHC.

Neither of the Skinn oils is a pure oil, they both have additional ingredients besides oil. Not necessarily a bad thing, just something to consider. The Midnight Recovery Complex has coconut oil, which is more likely to cause breakouts than some other oils, so I would avoid that one.

Here are some oils I like: Jojoba oil, rosehip seed oil, marula oil, argan oil. Jojoba is lighter and you may prefer that one. I get mine at Whole Foods. It's also fantastic for nails and cuticles. I like to keep various oils around to use at different times. Argan can be heavier. I love to mix it into my body lotion year 'round. In the winter, I may mix it into my face cream or use it over my moisturizer at night to seal everything in. I rarely use it alone and don't use it on my face during the summer. Josie Maran makes a Light version that I think is great for the face and mixing into face cream. You may like that one.

Dermstore dot com has a blog tab on the homepage and you can search 'face oils'. There are a few good articles about choosing and using oils there.

@Mistic OK, you're saying you're really dry, but the argan oil felt too oily on you? I use Josie's argan oil on my face (I also like her argan milk for the face), and it soaks right into my skin. It's the only thing that works for me in the winter. I'm thinking maybe your skin feels so dry and is just not "accepting" products because you need more exfoliation. When you have a "dead" layer of skin on top, your serums and moisterizers can't penetrate. I use several different physical exfoliants. I rotate them, but I use one of them mixed with my facial wash every evening before bed. This not ony helped my aging face accept products more readily, it also stopped the occasional zits I was getting!

I'm a huge fan of camellia oil. It works the best for me.

The only oil I've been using on my face for several years now is Squalane Oil, which I get from Garden of Wisdom. I love Josie's body butters on my body after a shower, but the plain argan oil made my face break out, so I just use the single ingredient squalane oil.

I am an oil freak if there is such a thing. Right now I have a super size 6oz of Josie's argan oil, Wen's Pomegranate Rosemary, Dr. Denese's lipid infusion oil, Korres Rose oil, Boscia's Tsubaki (which is currently discontinued), Drunk Elephant's Marula, Earth's Nectar Jojoba and Tea Tree Scalp Oil and I still have a tiny bit of Tatcha's oil. I use different oils for different things: hair, under makeup, to mix with my face moisturizer, for my scalp, for my feet, for my cuticles, for my legs, to help me heal if I get a cut or bug bite, etc. I find that Josie's is amazing for my hair and body, same as Wen's oil. Earth's Nectar I use only on my scalp. Tatcha's, Boscia's and Korres' are amazing under makeup or to add to those foundations that are too heavy. Drunk Elephant I like to help me heal any wounds, bites or acne scars, but for my face definitely Dr. Denese. It absorbs quickly. I love to mix it with her Hydroshield serum, with any brand of moisturizer and sometimes (although I find it too expensive for that) I mix it with my foundations.

I have tried so many oils I lost count, but those are the ones I currently have.

I’ve tried lots of different oils. For me single oils work better than blends. Less chance of break outs.

So far, my favorite is the Botanical Beauty White Chia Oil from Amazon. Chia oil is the sole ingredient - cold pressed, unrefined and 100% natural.

ETA: Josie Maran’s Argan oil broke me out. I liked the feel of it but it did not agree with my skin.

Nevia creme is a good choice!

Really like pure rose hip oil from Amazon.

The brands you mentioned have additives to the oil, those additives may have caused the issues you mention.

Rose Hips and Marula are two that I'm liking quite a bit. Jojoba is good too. I'm not picky about brands, but try to find as basic a product as possible.

@Mistic Check out Marula oil. I use Acure Organics brand. It has brought my skin to a normal state. Do a little research and read up on it. It's much lighter than argan and absorbs quickly. I use nightly. Place a drop in the palm of your hand and rub hands together and press onto face, repeat if necessary.

I found oils did not really help my drier skin. And I tried them.

What is working for me is Kate Somerville Dry Skin Saver. I think it was formulated for people with eczema, so it is mild. But after trying every moisturizer and oil out there, it is the one product that works for dry skin.

I use it liberally every single night now. The only thing that has really helped me.
